Elements: Origins of Power and Ruin

Taj is desired by too many but seen by almost no one.
He’s smart and loves to dance, but he’s trapped. He’s bound by the cartel’s debt and objectified for his beauty. In a world divided by two types of energy, Taj has learned to survive by staying untouchable. But some refuse to look away.
Riley is one of them. Wealthy, obsessive, and used to getting what he wants, Riley has fixated on Taj. When his dangerous pursuit puts everyone Taj loves at risk, Taj’s life begins to shatter.
Then Taj meets Song, the Sect’s Commander, haunted by a difficult past of his own. Their connection grows intense, offering Taj something he’s never had: someone who truly sees him. But in a world where desire is the most dangerous energy of all, their bond makes them both targets.
When Riley’s obsession turns violent, Taj and Song will be tested in ways neither could imagine.
Bridges: The New Empire Rises
170 ACD – 177 ACD
One century later, Taj is still mourning. His soul is trapped in a Crystal device and he’s haunted by memories of his dead husband. All he wants is to die, but he can’t, not only because there’s currently no way to do it, but because he can’t abandon Luna, his best friend’s great-great-great…daughter.
Luna is special. Born as a Dual, an energy anomaly that shouldn’t exist, she has survived by hiding with Taj. But she’s also trapped in an arranged engagement to the heir of the Shadows faction, while her heart belongs to someone else. When the engagement forces them into the political spotlight, hiding is no longer an option. Especially because Taj is sought after as a crucial key to the past, and some will kill for his apparent immortality.
What will they do? Will they run, or will they engage?
… And what if Taj’s husband is not entirely gone?

On Planet Three, the Gate cracks open, and everything begins to fall like dominoes. Taj, the New Empire’s haunted soul trapped in energy form, finally has hope: Song’s Crystal device is there, holding his husband’s consciousness.
But Song wasn’t just Taj’s soulmate. He was a famous Army Commander, a weapon inventor whose creations are still not surpassed. And Song’s Crystal itself contains enough power to be weaponized. Now everyone is hunting for it.
To resurrect Song, Taj must reach the device first. But how to do it without destroying the entire planet?
And even if Taj succeeds, one devastating question remains: If Song returns, who will he be?
