The War of the Thousand Thrones - The War of the Thousand Thrones I A novel by Tolmarher Series: Continuus Nexus - Octava Saga When the universe breaks down, hope isn't born but order imposed by blood. More than 11 millennia after the Infernal Conjunction, humanity survives trapped in the Eternum: a monstrous, sealed macrogalaxia, where thousands of colonized realities fight to avoid disappearing. There, the Neoempire extends its dominion as a holy and terrible shadow, ruled by the genetic lineage of the Nimrod, emperors-cloned prophets that reign not by divine law but by cosmic necessity. His faith doesn't promise redemption but survival. His doctrine does not comfort: discipline. Jared, the Crosarian, was torn from the past. Retiring from a lost colonial barge for millennia, she awakes up in an age that she doesn't recognize, researched as Imperial Master, chronist and scribe of the Hegemon. His mission isn't to judge and understand but to remember. To set up the canon of a war that did not start with him or end with anyone: The A Thousand Thrones War. Accompanying Vhaxar Vidarna, one of the ten thousand sons of the Emperor, Jared witnesses the violent re-imposition of the imperial order at Hastapor, a star system degenerated into the nest of pirates, slaves and heretics. What follows isn't a campaign but a ritual annihilation: broken fleets in orbit, moons turned into helmets of an eternally magma, cities taken street by street under fire of war dragons and battled Kurgan legions. No heroes in this story. Just winners and those who have been punished. While blood revels whole worlds and the norm of the Legion of the White Hand rises above the ruins, Jared begins to understand the darkest truth of Eternum: that the Khabal isn't the only horror, that the order also devors, and that unification of mankind requires a price that no consciousness can pay without breaking. That'll be bad. He'll write. And then erase his own doubts to stay alive. Because at Eternum, faith's a tool. Compassion, a weakness. And the story only belongs to those who survive to write it. The Mil Thronos War inaugurates the eighth series of the Continuus Nexus: a grim and mystical space opera, where humanity advances to its destiny, and is not guided by light but driven by sacrifice and terror and an impossible question to answer: Is Neoempire the last wall to face chaos or just another form of eternal damnation?

The Chronist - The A Thousand Thrones II War A novel by Tolmarher Series: Continuus Nexus - Octava Saga Fifteen standard years after the events of The Three Pearl, the Neoempire dominates an immense fringe of the East of Ekron-Dagan, but its power is a scab about a wound that never completely closed: Infernal Conjunction. In the vast Eternum, where superimposed galaxies survive as cosmic scars, faith does not comfort: it hardens. The order does not recite: submit. Gurney of Japeto, son of farmers from a undergoing twilight world, was tipped from barley fields at age 6 to serve the Order of Writers and Chronists at Nod. His pen had to record his story and never change his name. His fate was biopergamine, not blood. Reported to document some excavations at Hyperion - a planet that had been torn up two centuries earlier by challenges to the Nimrod Stretch - the young chronist was trapped in a conjug that outweighed his archaeology and pitted his supreme heresy. Under the sands lies a prohibited relic: a pure Genetic Seed of Dave of Orion, the Red Messiah whose lineage founded empires and unleashed holy wars. Handcuffed by a Sister of the Way whose ambition transcends his vote, surrounded by heretical Mordus, Andorore mercenaries and crepuspular forces, Gurney finds his presence was not casual. He was brought to write an official version... or to legitimize a new Messiah. When the conspiracy bursts and a herese fleet equivalent to two legions focuses on Vanguardia VIII, the fate of the Neoempire pits from a thread. The intervention of the Galactic Rig Exodits only prevents an immediate war. But they can't touch ground. The final job lies with a chronist. In the womb of a shattered fortress, with an old age, with smoke and betrayal, Gurney awakes to an impossible truth: his hands have been filled with an exomant power that he never knew how to possess. And you have to decide if you're just a witness to the story or his executor. The Chronist is a space opera grimdark novel where faith faces genetics, a desire for doctrine and an immortality to conviction. In the Mil Thrones War there are no light heroes. Just will that manage evil to avoid something worse. And sometimes the destiny of the Empire lies with those who should simply write it.

The Third Sacrifice - The War of the Thousand Thrones A novel by Tolmarher Series: Continuus Nexus - Octava Saga At the Citadel of Hegemon, at Nod, where Exo and metal preserve more secrets than they show, an order descends from the highest of imperial power. It's neither an open call nor a public mandate. That's a selection. Carmen, Sister of the Way formed in the genetic shrines, is called from the domains of Phyros XI. Thesseus, a young chronicler with no more value than his memory and his pen, is torn from his routine to become a witness to something he doesn't understand. Ragnar, Master Inquisitor Kurgan, a carrier of a will that does not admit fissures, answers as usual: without questions, without doubt, without compassion. None of them have been chosen by chance. At the sealed corridors of Nod, under the supervision of the Church of Nimrod and the constant shadow of the Faithful of Inquisitors, Dante's name weighs more than any decree. Not as a hero. Not as a savior. That's something different. Something that came back changed after the Blood Moon, and dragged with them a truth that has been unshared. The war's been broken. Not yet. But in the void, beyond the worlds undergoing the Neoempire, the astronomy begins to align. Whole fleets move without proclamations, without standards, as if they obeyed an order prior to human will. No statements. No visible enemies. Just converging trajectories. When the elected have been ordered to appear at dársena 10191, they understand that they have stopped being individuals to become pieces. Not from a campaign. Of something older, darker, deeper. Because at Continuus Nexus, decisions that change history aren't announced. They run quietly. And as the sacrifice begins... it's never the one you were expecting.

Arconte - The A Thousand Thrones War IV A novel by Tolmarher Series: Continuus Nexus - Octava Saga Following the Naraka disaster, no victory remains clear and no defeat remains buried. The fourth book of The A Thousand Thrones War, entitled Arconte, opens up about three separate injuries by time but united by an same corruption of blood, desire and power. In the first chapter, The Communal Hall of the Aqueronte, the cursed ship flee from Naraka as a wounded beast, bearing in his insides Carmen- Abaddon, Rya and Theseo- Aqueronte. Carmen is no longer just a woman or a warrior but a guest and throne with an arcontical will with a bright, beautiful and dangerous Amber eye as a queen born of desecration. Rya remains at his side, trapped with desire, fear and complicity, while Theseus, molten with the sarcophagus of navigation, ceases to be a human sacrifice to become a living awareness of the ship. The first law of the Aqueronte was born in the communal hall, among broken survivors, traitors locked up after gates and chapels contaminated by emerging horrors: to obey, survive and accept that the fugitive ship no longer seeks refuge but form. It isn't a kingdom yet, but it starts to smell of a throne. In the second chapter, The Exorcist Admiral, the Neoempire gathers the remains of his failure. Dante, broken up by Naraka, awakes up at an inquisitory hospital ship sewn up by Mordus doctors and monitored by Ragnar while minor chronologists attempt to turn the disaster into a manageable report. But Dante understands before them that Carmen- Abaddon isn't a local anomaly but the beginning of a new war. The Arcontical possession, the living consciousness of the Aqueronte, the ambiguous fidelity of Rya and the survival of Theseus declare something more serious than an escape: they declare the possibility of a wandering power, a cult, a fleet or a kingdom born of Naraka. Marked by the resonance of Carmen's Amber eyes, Dante begins to become an instrument of persecution, not simply by obedience to Hegemon but by the fanatic conviction that Neoempire has failed and should be hardened so as to be devoured. That's where his future as an exorcist Admiral seizes itself: not a hero but a doctrinal knife forged into a fever, guilt and necessity. In the third chapter, The Stolen Seed, the narrative goes back to the year 11,623, decades before the open war, to reveal one of the secret roots of the coming disaster. At the town-shield of Agarthia, among ponds of imperial dragons, ash tunnels and the shade of the Black Guard, Salomé performs an act that will alter human history: infiltrate under false identity, isolate Nimrod 85 and steal the imperial seed that will give rise to a prohibited possibility. Salomé does not appear as a victim or as a mere seducer but as a conspirator, warrior and architect of a future enemy of the Neoempire. Facing an Emperor-Prophet protected by Exodites but not completely master of his own flesh, she turns desire, drugs, shame and calculation into a political weapon. When you flee from Agarthia with the future locked in a ring, you have not destroyed the empire: you have shown that a competitor can be beget with his own blood. These three chapters form the threshold of Arconte. One shows the dark birth of the Aqueronte as a wandering core of power and another, an inquisitive response from the Neopurity to a threat that it currently cannot name and the third reveals that the origin of the future fracture isn't only in Naraka but in a seed stolen decades earlier in the Ash World. Carmen- Abaddon, Dante and Salomé are thus established as three foundational forces of the novel: the possession that wants throne, the persecutor that wants purga and the conspirator mother who stole from the empire his monopoly of his destiny. Arconte begins, therefore, not with an declared war but with three impure births: a ship that awakes up, an inquisitor that tightens up and an imperial blood that escapes from the cage where the Hegemon thought his future was locked up.

The Hunting - The A Thousand Thrones's War A novel by Tolmarher Series: Continuus Nexus - Octava Saga At the sealed depths of Nod, where the chronists and public prayers of the Church of Nimrod do not come, Wotan Daneron discover the magnitude of the affront: the seed of Nimrod 85 has been stolen. A woman from the Ash World has achieved the impossible. It has touched the genetic continuity of the Hegemon and has opened a crack that no imperial decree can close. To preserve the sacred lie upon which the Neoempire rests, Wotan commands the unthinkable: the true emperor should die secretly and be replaced by an old clone. The throne will keep talking. The Empire will continue to obey. Only the truth will be buried. While Nod hides his shame under layers of silence, Salomé fled pregnant to the dirty routes of Seol. No armies or banners after her, because the Hegemon cannot confess what happened. They're after her with name-free killers, Martel accountants, Mordus traffickers, Simonites, Andalore mercenaries and priests who can ask questions without ever pronouncing his face. Salomé soon understands that his beauty and his blood and his son with his scavenges cannot go away. That's why she learns how to multiply her shadows, how to buy routes, how to sacrifice middlemen and how to turn every betrayal into a corpse. Far from Nod, far from Ash and far from Hinom, Acad was born on an abandoned mining moon, with heretics, fugitives and old machines. He does not come into the world under a throne or under a temple but through blood and scum and fear. When Exo metal responds to its presence with a purple light, Salomé understands that his son isn't a mere hidden heir: it's an unrepeatable anomaly, born from the crossing between his lineage and the green blood of Nimrod 85. A new sign. A threat that Neoempire cannot name. For years, mother and child will cross the roads of Seol: Decadent stations, clandestine ships, law-free taverns and anomaly routes where sailors are consumed with sarcophages so that others can get through the darkness. That's where Acad's gonna lose his innocence before she gets to know her. He will learn languages, knives, lies, religious memory and pain resistance. Each persecution will be a lesson. Every betrayal, a blood debt. Each refuge, a deferred grave. But the child awakes up too soon. He sees fragments of what haven't happened yet. Feel Exo metal under dead worlds. He hears terrors that don't belong at his age. Salomé wanted to raise a holy weapon against the Hegemon but begins to understand something more terrible: Acad will be his mother's instrument and Wotan's prey and Nimrod's secret bastard. That will be his own will. The Hunting is the fifth book of The War of the Mil Thrones: a story of persecution, dynastic blood and brutal survival, where an imperial lie is saved by murder, a mother turns his escape into doctrine and a child born in another's ashes begins to awaken as a living crack that can break the destiny of the Neoempire.

Hinom

In the brutal deserts of Hinom, where Sheol ceases to be a path and becomes hunger, Salomé leads Acad to a world that receives no messiah: He tests them, He hurts them or devors them. Far from Nod, far from the Ash World and far from the imperial lie, the son of the stolen seed enters Neomenoch territory, among rival tribes that have deformed their faith for centuries of thirst, war and blood. Some venerate old remains of holy discipline. Others mix prayer with dark invocations to the Khaos Aspects. There are slaves, hunters, ritual anthropolophenes, salt priestesses and patriarchs who do not bow to any child pointed out by rumors. Acad isn't received as elected. He's been received as flesh. To survive, you will have to learn that power isn't proclaiming itself: it's tipped from dust, pain, well and enemy. Under the fierce look of Salomé and against the pride of a tribe that doesn't kneel, the boy begins to form with warriors that despise him, hunters that measure his resistance and priestesses that speak a broken religious tongue, made from Neomenoch remains, hunger and superstition. Each blow shows him something. Each insult tightens it. Each wound removes him a little more from his childhood that he's never had. But Salomé soon finds out that she's no longer the only one capable of shaping them. Kharod of the Seven Cycles, a tribal patriarch and master of war, sees at Acad something different from a prophecy: He sees unfinished matter. He puts him to his tests, forcing him to lose, to look after his defeat, to understand that survival isn't enough as others start following your words. To Salomé, that's necessary and dangerous. Because every teacher Acad accepts is a hand that enters into a territory that once belonged only to her. And then Tanit appears. Warrior Princess of a rival, fierce, proud, fanatic and armed tribe with a black spear, Tanit doesn't believe in Acad. He considers him an alien manipulated by his mother, an impostor with a sign, a dangerous lie born to put his knees on his knees. His encounter is neither sweet nor clear: his challenge, blood, religious clash and political fight. Tanit hurts him, measures him and hates him precisely because he cannot at all deny him. When the purple light once again shattering the stone and doubt enters where once there was only contempt, something changes forever. The kingdoms aren't born in Hinom. They rot first under the sand. The sixth book from The War of the Mil Thrones tells about Acad's entrance into the territory that will once again be the root of the Domination: a world of wild tribes, bloody rites, impossible alliances and faith deformed by survival. Salome wanted to raise a holy weapon against the Hegemon, but at Hinom she understands that every weapon, if it lives sufficiently, begins to choose its own hands. Acad's stopped running. Now you have to learn to be devoured.
