The Obsidian Labyrinth Book 1: The Ashen Breath Trilogy
Subject 7-G is dying in the labor pits of Vex—a broken god imprisoned in a human shell, mining the bones of his own dead for a Magocracy that has forgotten his name.
A thousand years ago, Malakor sealed away the world’s magic to starve his enemies. The plan worked. It also buried him alive.
Now, in a city built on ash and desperation, he is merely Pip—a stuttering, trembling ore-hauler with no memory of his former divinity. But when a child with forbidden magic surfaces in the slums, when he learns that the ancient cathedral of his remains still pulses with power, when a chance escape opens the path to the Bone-Cathedral, he begins to remember. And the world—already held captive by systems of extraction and control—begins to break.
What follows is not a story of heroic triumph. It is a careful, surgical dismantling of a system sustained by ledgers and lies. It is a god learning that gardens require more than arithmetic to grow. It is thousands of the nameless rising not for glory, but for rain—for the simple, defiant act of choosing to be more than fuel.
The Obsidian Labyrinth is a dark sci-fi/fantasy hybrid about the cost of resurrection, the weight of moral arithmetic, and the first seeds planted in ash.
No magic wands. No destiny. Only fire and the names of the dead.
