Ashes of Tomorrow - The novel
In the unstable nation of Aruandor, magic and technology coexist in a fragile balance—one that benefits the elite and crushes everyone else. Crime, corruption, political extremism, and social decay form the pillars of a system designed to keep the population divided, exhausted, and afraid.
Giva, a quiet, overworked father trying to support his family through odd jobs, is one of the countless citizens living on the edge of collapse. He has no privilege, no connections, and no stability—only determination and the constant fear of failing the people he loves.
But everything changes when Giva encounters a mysterious arcane fragment hidden inside an abandoned storage yard.
From that moment on, strange sensations begin to stir within him:
moments where time slows
flashes of impossible clarity
instincts too precise to be natural
memory that records every detail like a camera
a mind evolving beyond human limits
As his powers awaken one by one, so does his understanding of the truth:
the chaos destroying Aruandor is no accident—it's a system.
And now that system has noticed him.
Caught between criminal factions, corrupt authorities, and a population turning against itself, Giva must learn how to survive without revealing what he is becoming. His powers could save his family, uplift his community… or expose him to forces that would tear him apart.
He does not seek glory.
He will never be a public hero.
But in the shadows of a collapsing nation, the invisible choices of one man may become the hidden cornerstone that determines the world’s future.
A story about quiet strength, slow-burn power awakening, social struggle, and a man who refuses to break—even when the world demands it.
