To the readers walking inside my world,

I have made a change to the structure of Arca of Itharion.

So, from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3, they are completely free.

That is mythic sci-fi, taking you from the streets of Hanoi all the way to Lira’s scape to the jungle.

The saga is complete. Books 1 and 2 are fully locked and ready. You are not betting on a story I might finish; you are unlocking what is done. While I work on the next book that continues this entire imagination, keep this in mind: in Book 1, Arca is a baby just born; by the end, she is 7 years old; and by Book 3, both she and Ela have become mothers.

Read the first 3 chapters. or hear them all have their own narration, it is up to you to read or listen.

Experience the lore. And when you reach the end of Chapter 3, you will find the invitation to become a Guardian of the Saga.

CHAPTER 1: THE LIGHT OVER HANOI

CHAPTER 2: THE SHADOW IN THE SKY

CHAPTER 3: THE RIVER’S ECHO

Thank you for believing in work that refuses to compromise. I am in debt to all of you subscribers and the followers… 🙏
