The Aethon Chronicles #1
The Guardian
A race in bondage. A reluctant choice to seal their future.
Demetrius has always known life as a prince of the Capricorn Kingdom of Barazar. Until he stumbles upon a startling, long-kept family secret that shatters his entire world. Confused and betrayed, he flees into exile, leaving behind all that he has ever known.
However, a mysterious god calls him back to Barazar with an unthinkable task: free the enslaved horses and lead them to their long-forgotten ancestral homeland, Aethon. The last thing Demetrius wants is to face the capricorns, but the sufferings of his true family could not be ignored. His decision will sweep him on a perilous journey. One of battles between wills and forces, deadly creatures, divine plagues, and, above all, hope.

March 13, 20262026 Update:
How I miss this world... I may write a companion novel for this series! 🤫
Author Update 2025:
In case you haven't noticed, "The Aethon Chronicles" have been re-released, re-edited, and reformatted with not only BRAND-BRAND-NEW covers (with the silhouettes digitally drawn by me!), but also a few interior illustrations! (Plus, each eBook are on sale for $0.99 to until April 17, when Prophet of Theos releases!
2023 UPDATE:
Hi, everyone! "The Aethon Chronicles" have been given brand NEW covers!
I confess I had updated the books too much *shame-face*, but there was still something missing to complete the look of the covers. And then, FOUR years later since they were first published, the missing element revealed itself!
Now, they are UTTERLY gorgeous and under a new imprint of mine! So far the eBooks' covers have been updated, and the paperbacks are slowly making their way as well!
Hope you enjoy!
