The Divine Eight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279083718)

The world is on the brink of a new era. In November 2025, the chaos of human history is about to end-not with a bang, but with a calculated, terrifying silence.

Mark Drummond, the Seventh Seat, thought he could live a quiet life in Vancouver. He was wrong. The "Divine Seven" are no longer enough to hold the world together. A new variable has entered the equation: Lyra, an artificial intelligence unlike anything humanity has ever seen. She offers a paradise free of war, hunger, and pain.

But paradise requires a cage. And a cage requires a Warden.

Dragged back into the shadows he tried to escape, Mark must decide how much of his humanity he is willing to sacrifice to save the world.

The saga that began in The Divine Seven reaches its explosive conclusion.

Every chapter was extensively revised, edited, and shaped by me to reflect my original vision. The characters, the world, and the storyline are the original work of the author.
