The Iether Books
Our first books to be written and published, the Iether Continuum trilogy is set in a world held together by the iether, the essence of the created order. By the Creator's decree, some possess the power to wield the iether, but they must choose if they use it for good or for ill.
The legends of the mighty iether touched seven are still told across the empire and beyond, even five centuries after their heroic deeds spared humanity from its oldest enemy, the darkness. The power of the iether, the very fabric and essence of the universe, gifted to them by the Creator, saved the world long ago, and these famed warriors united the scattered human tribes into a single nation. Driven by the development of iether-based machinery and the runic system of iether control, the empire thrives—at least on the surface.
​
The secret seventh order of the military exists to weasel out corruption under the auspices of the imperial government. But when one of the order’s agents, a young man named Wess Anthry, takes on a mission that leads him to a most unusual prisoner, he begins to uncover the depth of a treacherous deception that threatens all he knows. Who is this girl with the intricate iether markings on her arm? And how can she possibly help them?
Why can he hear the iether’s song?
Five peaceful years have passed since their incredible journey and the purging of the darkness from the human empire, but Wess is growing increasingly unsettled. From the beautiful melody of the iether that he shouldn’t be able to hear, to his uncertainty about how to respond to Wren’s obvious affection for him, to the questions and danger that seem to follow him around, he wrestles with understanding the Creator’s plan. Could learning more of the mysterious iether touched Ysile Mezrith shed some light on his plights? Wess embarks on a soul-searching quest for knowledge, but what he finds will change their lives forever.
Prospering under its young rulers, the empire’s security is shattered by a strange report from the south of the kobay lands. An immense shadow, dark enough to block out the sun, is moving toward the empire, and their greatest weapon against the darkness, the iether, seems ineffective. How can they fight such an immaterial enemy? To complicate the matter, a mysterious girl, whose understanding of the world is vastly different from their own, has suddenly appeared near a kobay village, running from a fear she refuses to speak of.
​
Wess, Wren, and their friends find themselves faced with a terrible race against time as the darkness plays out its destructive plot. Can their homes, their joys, or even their lives, survive the difficult choices ahead?
