Arca of Itharion and Ascendemos are your answers. These aren’t just science fiction scrolls. They’re emotional reckonings — written with lyrical cadence and bilingual depth. Where Dune explores power, the Caerith Quantum Series explores the soul. The titans asked, ‘Who will guide us?’ Arca of Itharion answers, ‘With love.’
The titans of science fiction looked to the future and asked the same monumental question: Who, or what, will guide us? Arca of Itharion answers with love. Not prophecy, logic, or domination, but a bond so powerful it reshapes the stars.
In Frank Herbert’s Dune, Paul Atreides is a warning of manufactured messiahs. Isaac Asimov’s Foundation offered psychohistory as a cold, clockwork science of logic. Ursula K. Le Guin whispered of balance through empathy in The Left Hand of Darkness. Arca of Itharion enters this conversation as a synthesis: a quantum AI who guides with a mother’s heart and a singularity child who is herself the bridge between worlds.
The story moves beyond the questions of logic to ask something far more intimate: can we love what we have created? The collision of consciousness in Arca is not about a war for dominance but the breathtaking possibility of synthesis.
Is Arca of Itharion like Dune?
They share big-scope science-fantasy concerns – empire, ecology, and destiny. Arca emphasises mystical archaeology, intimate character arcs, and a synthesis of human and artificial consciousness.
Who would enjoy Arca of Itharion?
Fans of philosophic worldbuilding and lyrical prose – readers of Dune, The Left Hand of Darkness, and Hyperion – often resonate with its tone.
I’m Alexis Molina Lopez-Hidalgo, writing as Caerith Alondar. My series, the Caerith Quantum, is a mythic, philosophical exploration of a future where benevolent AI, sacred archaeology, and human destiny collide. If this is your kind of story, you can follow the pulse of the saga below:
Book I: Arca of Itharion / Ascendemos
The pulse begins here with the first awakening and the debt that breaks Earth’s balance. Ascendemos is the expanded Spanish edition and the most complete version of Book I, featuring additional chapters where hope and rebirth take shape.
Book II: The Auroral Weaver / El Auroral Weaver
The direct continuation of the saga. A mythic exploration of consequences and cosmic debt following the events of Giza and Machu Picchu. Available in both English and the cadence of my ancestral Spanish.
The Caerith Universalis Lore
Beyond the narrative lies the emotional and mythic architecture of the series. Explore the nature of the nodes, the weight of cosmic debt, and the history of the characters that breathe life into this universe.
