Rising Up

In the world of Varuna, four lands exist in tandem on a singular landmass. Following the end of the Undying Wars, a tender peace treaty maintains order. A kingdom, empire, dynasty, and a neutral ruling all share one tight space, floating in the cloud sea. All believe in the existence of their creator god, Neros, using their light to give life to the world.

Ranan Tethys leads a meek but intentional life as a solo engineer in Xenoview, the lowest land of them all. Struggling to make ends meet, his fortune changes when he makes contact with the foreign Princess Aurora Lancez, seemingly displaced from her northern kingdom. The striking of a deal between these two unlikely traveling companions leads to a journey that reveals not just the true machinations of each nation, but also a horrible plot to plunge Varuna back into war in the name of conquest.

Filled with adventure, character, introspection, and world-building,Rising Upasks its readers to question the state of their world, and how far they are willing to go in order to change it.
