The opening volume of the Origins series presents a realm devoid of young ones, a Creator harboring secret intentions, and beings never designed to challenge their existence.
Dorianne Ashe, an author, transports readers to a haunting and inventive new universe with The Children of Triune (Origins Book 1), a dark fantasy novel weaving together myth, secrecy, and defiance into a gripping tale of self-discovery and endurance.
For almost five hundred years, not a single infant has taken its first breath. Within Triune, the Creator has closed off the womb of humanity, compelling civilization to persist without the hope of any next generation.
Concealed beneath Triune’s surface lies the Middle, a vast, hidden subterranean world where every “child” of Triune is brought up in secrecy for twenty-three years. Inside this underground sanctuary of rock and starlight, they undergo relentless training, honing their skills, talents, and fortitude under the stern supervision of Mother, their severe half-human, half-android guardian.
Each year, the children experience the Binding, a harsh and sacred ritual that tears them open so their emerging abilities can flourish. With every Binding, the agony intensifies, the transformations grow more potent, and the children become more ready for the moment they rise to the Upper.
All except one.
Gilly has undergone every Binding, every ceremony, every test, yet no power has ever stirred within her. Not a flicker. Not a murmur. Nothing.
As her twenty-third year draws near, Gilly confronts a truth that no one dares voice aloud: children who fail to blossom seldom endure their final Binding. Their names are etched high on the Memorial Wall, forever confined to the Middle with Mother.
While her companions prepare for their ascent, Gilly must face the question that haunts her every step: Will she live long enough to reach the Upper, or will she become just another name inscribed in stone?
The Children of Triune appeals to fans of dark fantasy, mythic worldbuilding, enigmatic beginnings, and narratives propelled by secrets that reshape entire societies.
Dorianne Ashe is the writer of The Children of Triune (Origins Book 1), the first entry in the Origins series. Possessing a strong command of atmosphere and a talent for mythic storytelling, Ashe introduces audiences to a fantasy realm built on concealed histories, divine authority, and the bravery to challenge what has been deemed holy.
