Preorder Book 1
PrologueTHE ONE THAT REFUSED TO SUBMITBefore the mountain hardened her hands,
before the hunters spoke her new name,
before the world realized what she carried—Ama lived beneath a sky already trembling.Shadows had existed long before she breathed her first breath.
Not illusions. Not stories.
Creatures. Hunger given shape. Will twisted into form.Every tribe feared them.
Every village learned to move in the patterns that avoided them.
Every elder warned their children:“If a shadow sees you… run.”Not all who ran survived.The shadows hunted whatever lived —
aura or no aura, man or beast, it made no difference.
Their hunger was simple. Their mercy was none.Even so, life held its quiet rhythms.
Markets rose with the morning dust.
Fires cracked at night.
Families gathered close, praying the darkness passed them by.It did. Until the day it didn’t.Ama grew in that narrow space between danger and denial —
a childhood spent pretending the world was safer than it was.
A childhood that would not last.Because every age reaches a moment where something breaks through the fear and stands.Not stronger.
Not chosen.
Just unwilling to bow.When the night finally came for her,
when everything she knew was stripped to ash,
when death was the only thing reaching out to claim her—she refused.Not because she was ready.
Not because she was brave.
But because something inside her would not bend.And from that refusal—a single, stubborn spark—
the Arkverse began to change.
