Zethra Rezanu: The Hollow Throne
What if memory itself could be rewritten?
Across the stars, entire civilizations awaken to find their pasts erased—rewritten in the name of a mysterious queen who rules from a throne built of falsehoods. Her name is Vaelrith. Her weapon is not war, but history itself.
But there are those who remember.
From the stealth vessel Ghistil, the legendary Master Aikedu watches the galaxy shift beneath illusion. By his side stand the ancient warrior Mel’ra’ak and the young blade Zarkeeth, whose infiltration of the Hollow Throne may be the galaxy’s last hope.
Beneath the glittering cities of Vaelios Prime, forgotten names stir. Suppressed truths ignite like fire. And in the heart of the throne itself lies the Echo of Creation—an artifact capable of shaping reality through memory.
But power always demands a price.
And someone… must choose what is worth remembering.
Zethra The Hollow Throne is a cinematic blend of space opera, mythology, and memory-bending sci-fi—perfect for fans of Dune, Foundation, and Star Andor.
The war for truth has begun.

Fast paced science fiction novels are one of my preferred genres to get lost in a different world of fantasy and extra-terrestrial experiences. These stories enable the reader to create our own worlds and live vicariously through the characters featured in the book. So I was naturally drawn to the Book One of the Zethra Rezanu Saga, titled Zethra Rezanu: The Hollow Throne by The Architect. This relatively short 89-page novel is written in an easy-to-read language which captures the reader’s attention from the beginning. Short enough to finish in one session the novel takes one on an interesting journey through different worlds, mythology, and a liberal dose of fantasy.
The book starts off with the reader getting teleported to a different galaxy ruled by Queen Vaelrith, where alien species walked. The character description of the Queen is vivid and conjures the image of royalty. “She stood on a terrace of shaped starlight, her robes woven from nebulae and mirrored silk, each thread singing a different age. Her face was carved with impossible symmetry, beauty refined until it became inhuman. Her golden eyes did not blink. Her hair did not stir in the false wind,” writes The Architect enumerating the regality of the ruling class in the alternate galaxy.
The overall premise of the story is to reiterate the fact that empires often are forgotten due to the persuasive nature of enemy propaganda rather than their military might. Much like how many of the ancient civilizations on this planet have now been forgotten due to systematic narrative setting and propaganda. The book depicts the struggle for truth and survival of several characters Master Aikedu, Hymedall, and the fierce Zarkeeth.
I enjoyed the writing style and vivid descriptions of memory, battles, character building, and action sequences. This story also puts into full display that it is possible to rewrite history and make the actual truth questionable. I don’t want to present more of the story here and spoil the enjoyment of reading this novel. The Hollow Throne is definitely worth reading, and a must for those fans of science fiction and space age storytelling, and adventure spanning different galaxies.

Okay sooo Zethra Rezanu completely melted my brain—in the best, galaxy-brained kind of way. Imagine a giant illusion-planet just floating around, rewriting history like it’s editing a Wikipedia page. That’s the vibe. And right in the middle? Queen Vaelrith. She doesn’t need soldiers when she can just erase you from existence. Queen of silent domination, honestly.
We’ve got Master Aikedu—immortal, moody, 1000% done with the universe glitching out. He starts noticing reality’s kinda...off. People disappearing from memory, time cracking like a broken phone screen, and oh yeah, a belief-powered weapon. No big deal.
Then there’s Hymedall. He used to be a chill warrior of peace. Now he’s spiraling into villain mode while fighting a darker version of himself. Basically space therapy needed ASAP. Watching him unravel was like watching a car crash in slow motion—you can’t look away.
Meanwhile, under the ruins of a forgotten city, some rebels are finally saying, “Screw this, let’s fight back.” It’s giving underdog uprising with a side of cosmic chaos. One name could start a whole reality war, and I’m not okay.
If you like your sci-fi trippy, dramatic, and slightly unhinged, Zethra Rezanu is your next obsession. Big space vibes, twisted timelines, and enough plot twists to make your head spin. You’ve been warned.
