On islands floating between an eternal storm dome and the sun at its center, the Blitz Creed fights monsters for humanity's dominance. Like other Blitz, Prophet is a career contract monster killer. Unlike other Blitz, Prophet is a 'thaumaturge' wielding superhuman control of lightning. Lightning that warps into a primal black while narrowly thwarting a terror attack orchestrated by 'the Gaze,' a usurpationist sect with Prophet's estranged mother, Erin, at the helm.
Prophet's powers are broken; Lilly, his little sister figure, is rendered comatose; and his Blitz Creed family lays in tatters. Prophet, shattered as his home in ruins, grits his teeth, licks his wounds, then gets to work. One assault on the Gaze leaves his allies scattered, so he neglects his evolving black lightning and rebuilds for a second that's ended by Erin's hand. In need of a trump card for Erin, Prophet's convinced to find the Cobble Tome - the key to all powers - but using the relic isn't so simple.
The Gaze's takeover in its final stage, Prophet, the Kingdom, and the Archipelago's finest scrape together an all-in war for any light at the tunnel's end. With one shot left to save the Archipelago from Erin's slaughter - his friends, family, and home from the personification of his twisted past, Prophet looks to its black embodiment crackling between his fingers. They clutch the Tome. Finding the light means embracing the dark.
"Relic Lightning" is a written Manuscript awaiting publication.
Cypher was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. From a young age, he had a passion for stories and fantastical worlds, and even began tinkering with creating his own. Despite his love for creativity, he also excelled academically, consistently earning top marks in his classes.
In 2020, when the world was turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cypher was inspired by the fact that William Shakespeare wrote some of his most famous works, such as Othello and Macbeth, during his own quarantines in the early 1600s.
With the opportunity to focus on his writing and further develop his skills, Cypher used his time to bring his creative ideas to fruition and wrote "Relic Lightning." A compelling tale with a well-crafted narrative that will keep readers engaged from start to finish.
Tales of his power having spread far and wide, Prophet is summoned to the southernmost continent of Adamas. He is contracted to combat the 'Separatist,' an ideolog at odds with the sitting government of Amity.
Prophet's time as Amity's delegate is anything but simple, however, as soon after meeting his target, it becomes clear he'll have to choose: the contract or his father's life.
Ani, a girl of dubious origins binds lost outcasts Xefer, Sil, and Za'Gal together. Hunted by Tequ'No, the continent's defacto ruler after his felling of the gods, the four search for Ani's home with the Wild Hunt hot on their heels.
Tequ'No's Wild Hunt outguns and outnumbers them, Ani's family is all but unwritten in history, and any remnants of the gods are too weak to stand. If Xefer, Sil, and Za'Gal can't protect Ani, she'll be used to raze the continental realms a second time.
