Godfall Protocol

In 2147, a fractured world teeters on the brink. The gods are long dead, their power crystallized into Aether Shards that grant miraculous abilities—and monstrous corruption. Kael Varn, a rogue shard-hunter, navigates the treacherous underbelly of Neo-Shanra, a sprawling megacity where the UN’s Godfall Protocol hunts those twisted by shards into Harbingers. Armed with a shard of his own, Kael wields kinetic energy but battles visions of fire and oblivion that threaten his sanity.When a heist uncovers an ancient shard pulsing with a god’s memory, Kael and his crew—brilliant but obsessive scientist Dr. Mira Solis, slippery hacker Rhea “Ghost” Kane, and grizzled ex-mercenary Toren “Iron” Voss—are thrust into a conspiracy. The Protocol isn’t what it seems, manipulated by a shadowy cabal with plans to reshape reality itself. As Kael’s visions hint at a cataclysmic “Oblivion Cycle,” the team goes rogue, dodging Harbingers, Protocol enforcers, and their own distrust.From Neo-Shanra’s slums to the haunted ruins of god-temples, Kael races to unravel the shard’s secrets. Each step pulls him closer to a truth that could make him a god—or destroy everything. With the cabal’s doomsday weapon looming, Kael must decide: embrace the shard’s power or burn it all down. Beyond Oblivion is a high-stakes saga of betrayal, sacrifice, and the cost of divinity in a world where even gods can fall.
