Book 1 and Book 2 are available on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, hardcover) and Kobo (e-book)
Adults are slowly dying off and children are becoming “Antisenent”—not aging, confined to their young bodies. Unable to reproduce, the population will soon reach a standstill.
This is the dismal fate of the people of the planet Eiyesa.
For Sergen, his inability to age holds a darker reality. He and his mother are restricted from leaving their home by his father, Erek.
A powerful political figure, Erek may be combating a harsh political regime and its misguided ideologies but he is the opposite at home, secretly violent with his family. Sergen’s only visitor is his healer, who mends their wounds but is otherwise powerless to help them.
Surely, there must be a way out of Sergen’s tragic circumstances?

On the planet Eiyesa, the last of the adults have died. Antisenent children remain—people with adult minds, confined to their childhood bodies.
Sergen is alone in the capital city of Mesidus, while the love of his life, Arina, is imprisoned.
Drimys has proclaimed himself King of Eiyesa. His methods of controlling the population are getting out of hand. Sergen is fighting the king’s injustices of issuing unlawful arrest orders and subjecting citizens to a fate worse than death.
And the king is taking out his grief on Sergen, punishing him and making life difficult for him in the capital.
Sergen must save Arina and help Mesidisians flee the city.
But can he save himself from Drimys’s wrath?
