Coming Soon: The Fractured Balance

When emotionless, immortal genetic experiment Pheonix escapes the slavers’ arena and arrives in the utopian elven city of Terelath, he learns the metacosm is governed by an ideology known as ‘the balance,’ which claims the kind of evil Pheonix experienced while enslaved to be a tolerable part of the natural order.

Unbeknownst to him, Pheonix is the long-awaited Ascended of Justice, and those drawn to Justice quickly gather around him. With their help, he hones his innate abilities and sets out to investigate the covert system supporting ‘the balance.’

As Pheonix begins to uncover that the metacosm’s governing bodies are chained to injustice at the core, he and his newfound allies vow to excise the corruption … even if it means all-out war.

Metacosm is a complex science fantasy universe, developed over almost two decades by authors N. and A. Soleil.

The Fractured Balance is the second Chronicle, and it's technically a side-stepped prequel to our debut, Everdark. It's a dark, gory, and philosophical tale plumbing the depths of how corruption and evil doesn't bother to hide itself when it has had a hand in creating the system everyone else must live by. Pheonix's journey was inspired by classic scifi and fantasy like the Dark Elf Trilogy, Ben Bova's Orion, the Foundation Trilogy, Dune, and the original Final Fantasy 7.
