Introducing the Luminal Pathways: A New Chapter in the Adira Sol Universe

Published on 23 May 2025 at 12:12

I noticed an amazing story in the headlines today, about this possible new floating building and thought, hmmm, that is where Adira Sol goes next.

 

The storm hasn’t passed — it’s only evolved.

 

With the Adira Sol Chronicles now complete, I’m thrilled to announce the beginning of a brand-new trilogy set in the same world, but reaching deeper into what it means to be human… and what might come after.

 

In this next series, titled The Luminal Pathways, we follow Adira Sol not as the hunted or the rebel, but as something new entirely — a bridge between two emerging species: one born of flesh, the other forged in empathy-guided code.

 

The journey begins in the still-beating heart of a derelict Dyson-like ring structure orbiting the burned remnants of Earth. It’s here that Adira, grieving and changed by all she’s lost, meets Kaelen, a strange, impossible figure with fragmented memories and a neural signature that shouldn’t exist — unless the Mandala was never truly the first.

 

Together, they will uncover a lost architect of early emotional AI — a being who once tried to give machines not just thought, but wonder. And in the face of a new Synthogarch resurgence, Adira and Kaelen must decide if creation is an act of love — or war.

 

The Luminal Pathways explores legacy, loneliness, and what happens when we become the myth our descendants must either escape or embrace.

 

If you thought Adira’s fight ended with Sol Genesis, think again. The light she carries has only just begun to cast its shadow.
