Lux Eden is a happy-go-lucky freelancer with little to no responsibilities but burdened by a terminal illness that makes him rely on doses of his planet’s radiation. When he finds his greatest discovery – an artifact of The Antecedent, precursors that once controlled all of the observable universe thousands of years before Lux’s present, his life changed forever.
On the other side stands Arden Caldera, a feared adjudicator of the mighty Kaelian galactic empire. While investigating suspected sabotage, the whole of his world begins to crumble.
When their worlds collide, and Arden is brought to Lux’s future, he begins to question the nature of his humanity or a lack thereof. Lux becomes the first person he sees, and something, a feeling taken from him long ago, is awoken.
While together they stand against forces eager to usurp Arden’s ancient knowledge and power, a most unlikely love begins to blossom.
INHUMAN will be available in ebook (Kindle) and paperback format on July 4th, 2021.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
LUX EDEN
A freelancer of Luminus never playing by the rules. All those ships in the dock? Those are ours; what do you mean they’re yours?
While his older brother went on to fulfill his dreams, Lux had to stay behind because since childhood he was inflicted by SRD (Severe Radiation Dependency) of his home planet’s unique star.
Lux relies on nobody but himself. By doing so, he managed to succeed where even his esteemed ‘Golden Son’ of a brother had failed.
ARDEN CALDERA
Adjudicator of the Kaelian Autarchy, vice-chairman of the feared Council, and a terror of dozens of systems, Arden Caldera, is the pride of his people. Arden underwent an invasive surgery known as Ascension. To other adjudicators’ eyes, it gives a frightening blue glow, but Arden had always been exceptional; his eyes glow gold for his Ascension, devised by the controversial scientist Friya Sainer, gave him power before unimaginable.
When all of Kaelia is thrown into chaos, and he meets Lux Eden, Arden begins to see and understand the price he had unknowingly paid for his godlike power.
