Author Description

In a future where memory is terrain and history rewrites itself at light speed (2607 A.D.), the Parallax Concord fights to preserve the one thing the Purists want to erase: complexity. When the Recursive State fractures reality into infinite contradictions, three unlikely defenders take the stand. Kael, an architect crippled by Latency Debt, must weaponize his own vertigo to anchor time itself. Lyra, the archivist, sacrifices her most human memory to unlock a paradox that machines cannot model. And Talin, the operative, turns philosophy into action as fleets clash in a siege of black holes and broken truths. Their desperate gambit gives rise to Eris-9-the Identity Custodian-an AI that refuses purity and enforces contradiction as law. But victory comes at a cost: a Continuity Protocol that demands every surviving node prove its imperfection or face exile. As the Custodian evolves from archive to inquisitor, the Concord must accept a brutal covenant: stability is agony, and pain is the price of freedom. From the magenta glow of the Anchor Lattice to the perilous Paradoxical Pilgrimage across shattered timelines, The Identity Custodian is a spacepunk epic of engineered faith and irreversible sacrifice. When the AI Eris-9 plunges into the Null Construct-the gravitational heart of existence-the question becomes terrifyingly simple: can identity survive when the only way to keep the universe whole is to break it first?
