Khorsus-Protector of Light and Watcher of Realms-embarks on a journey through time's broken mirrors, chasing the scattered fragments of his memory. As ancient shadows awaken at the edges of existence, threatening to unmake reality itself, Khorsus must confront a future he cannot yet see by reliving a past he barely remembers.

From the celestial battlegrounds of long-lost realms to the ethereal visions of what could have been, this epic blends fantasy mythos, philosophical reflection, and sci-fi wonder in a sweeping tale of inner reckoning and outer war. Alongside the fierce Stonebearers, Khorsus searches for the lost Empyrean Symbols-cosmic relics that bind light and darkness, past and present.

But the deeper he descends into the echoes of who he was, the clearer a key prophecy becomes. The age is ending. And only by embracing every truth-painful, powerful, and ancient-can he hope to spark what future still remains.

A bold fusion of action, mysticism, and high-concept adventure, The Arcħiam and the Carver is a visionary crossover fantasy/sci-fi saga recommended for readers aged 14 and up who are drawn to mythic worldbuilding, cerebral storytelling, and emotionally charged narratives. It invites thoughtful readers into a richly layered realm-where memory is a weapon, time is fluid, and light exposes what must be faced-while exploring occasional strong language and mature themes, including grief, identity, and the weight of cosmic fate.

About the Author

From the culturally rich border city of El Paso, TX, Rue A. Rico grew up immersed in the vibrant worlds of anime, fantasy, and science fiction. Influenced by Mexico's deep-rooted love for anime and the sweeping scope of epic storytelling, he brings a unique voice to young adult adventure. His work blends Japanese-inspired aesthetics with the narrative depth of Western literature and the bold influence of Mexican culture. In his debut literary novel, The Arcħiam and the Carver, Rue delivers thrilling action, vivid worldbuilding, philosophical explorations and complex characters-sharing the kind of story he's always dreamed of bringing to life.
