the Arsenal of Gods: Shattering: An Epic Aethari

Before The Arsenal of the Gods, there was the war that hollowed a sun.In the wreck of everything, thirteen survivors gather in the dead hull of the Forge Cathedral to decide how the human age will end. Before they choose, one of them asks to be heard.She is the memory-weaver, and she carries the whole record of the Aethari: the One alone in the stillness and the choice that made the many, the makers and the made, the first doubt, the theft from the sleeping, the rage given flesh, and the night the war came home to Sol.Twelve books of blank verse follow her song into the long silence after, where the watchers in the dark begin to hear the first stirrings at a door.The Shattering is the prequel to The Arsenal of the Gods. It ends where The Awakening begins.Inside: twelve books, a Coda, and a Roll of Names. 161 pages, set for reading aloud.Story and universe by Andres Salazar. The verse was composed with AI under the author's direction and approved by him.
