The opening volume of the Origins series presents a realm devoid of youngsters, a Creator whose intentions are concealed, and entities that were never designed to challenge their role.
With The Children of Triune (Origins Book 1), writer Dorianne Ashe welcomes audiences to a haunting and creative universe—a dark fantasy tale weaving together legend, enigma, and defiance to craft a compelling narrative about self-discovery and endurance.
Almost five hundred years have passed since any infant took its first breath. Within Triune, the Creator has locked the womb of humankind, compelling society to continue on without any hope of new offspring.
Below the exterior of Triune exists the Middle—a vast, concealed subterranean domain where each “child” of Triune is covertly nurtured for twenty-three years. Inside this underground haven of rock and celestial glow, they undergo ceaseless training, honing their skills, talents, and might while supervised by Mother, their strict hybrid caretaker who is part human, part android.
Annually, the children endure the Binding—a harsh yet holy ritual that rips them apart to allow their latent abilities to flourish. With each Binding, the agony intensifies, the metamorphoses become more formidable, and the youngsters grow more ready for their eventual rise to the Upper.
All but one.
Gilly has survived each Binding, each ceremony, each ordeal—yet no talent has ever stirred inside her. No flicker. No murmur. Absolutely nothing.
As she nears her twenty-third birthday, Gilly confronts a reality that nobody voices openly: youngsters who do not bloom seldom live through their ultimate Binding. Their names are etched high on the Memorial Wall, eternally confined to the Middle alongside Mother.
While her companions ready themselves for their climb, Gilly is forced to face the question that haunts each of her movements: Will she endure long enough to attain the Upper, or will she be added as another inscription on stone?
Those who relish dark fantasy, mythological world-building, enigmatic beginnings, and narratives propelled by hidden truths that redefine whole societies will find The Children of Triune an excellent fit.
