In a cosmos where gods devour civilizations and consciousness itself is prey, one enslaved miner's rebellion will reshape the fundamental laws of existence.
Koraxos has spent twenty-two years breaking stone in the crystal mines of Toran, branded as property from birth. When cosmic entities arrive to harvest his world like cattle, his desperate prayer for strength awakens something that will transform him from slave to legend-but at a price that threatens everything he fights to protect.
Armed with a phantom limb of pure cosmic energy, Koraxos discovers that his transformation is connected to an ancient war between gods. Treydora, the exiled creator who scattered his essence across the galaxy to nurture life, has been hunted for eons by his brothers Zorakil and Kaelthor-cosmic entities who view consciousness as a resource to be perfected or consumed.
As seven desperate civilizations unite against impossible odds, Koraxos must master powers that could save his people or destroy his humanity. The Luminarai who once enslaved his kind become unlikely allies. The crystalline Drustali share weapons that exist partially outside reality. Ocean-dwelling Pelagians bring bio-technological marvels while desert nomads offer biological adaptations that blur the line between flesh and machine.
But their greatest ally may be their most dangerous: the Obsidian Leviathan, an ancient territorial predator sleeping in the mountain's heart, whose awakening could protect them all-or devour everything in its path.
TREYDORA RISE spans eleven interconnected chapters that chronicle humanity's first contact with cosmic-scale threats and their evolution from scattered victims to unified defenders. From the crystal forges of Toran to the reality-warping battlefields where gods bleed, this is the story of consciousness learning that cooperation can triumph over consumption, that diversity creates strength rather than weakness, and that even the mightiest cosmic entities fear one thing above all: mortals who refuse to accept their assigned place in the universal hierarchy.
