Near Future Science Fiction

In a sun-baked desert outpost, the Askae Temple gleams with glass and steel, its halls humming with secrets. Here, Andra Berg—once a renowned scientist, now an outcast and reluctant prophet—returns to a life she never wanted, surrounded by worshippers she can’t escape and visions of disaster she can’t ignore. In a world where psychic gifts are both miracle and curse, Andra’s ability to glimpse the future has made her a prisoner of her own mind.

When her estranged son—the temple’s charismatic leader—is murdered, Andra is thrust from isolation into the heart of a mystery, one tangled with dangerous faith, family betrayals, and the threat of war she alone has foreseen. To protect her vulnerable granddaughter and grieving daughter-in-law, Andra must decipher cryptic visions, navigate a labyrinth of suspects, and face the bitter legacy of her own choices.

If she fails, the ones she loves will be consumed by the shadows closing in—not just from a killer, but from the future itself. If she succeeds, she might finally rewrite fate—and reclaim her own freedom.

Some prisons are built of walls. Others, of secrets.
