They called her a goddess.  They feared her as a weapon.  But even gods carry secrets too heavy to bear.

Before Queen Aliyah’s reign… before the House of Journey was born… there was Sahala—the First One. The immortal flame who rose from the ruins of an ancient empire and carried the breath of the gods in her veins. Her name shaped dynasties, her power forged kings, and her silence buried entire worlds.

For centuries, Sahala has walked unseen among her descendants—watching, guiding, and protecting the line of Pharaohs from the shadows. But when whispers of forbidden resurrection begin to echo across the galaxies, the past she buried threatens to awaken once more.

To uncover the truth, Sahala must face the empire she helped build… and the ghosts of those she sacrificed to preserve it. As worlds tremble and the bloodlines of gods begin to unravel, she must answer the question that has haunted her for eternity:

Can the one who created destiny… ever escape it?

Queen Aliyah returned her people across the stars and built Osirion beside the Nile, righteous in purpose yet burdened by shadows. She is a ruler with two children—but each day she must govern in a world that doubts her right to even stand among them.

Senator Rhem’s machinations loom ever larger, whispering distrust into the ears of Earth’s people. Factions rise. Alliances fracture. Everywhere, the settlers and natives alike watch her with suspicion. In her palace, betrayal whispers in private corridors. Outside, protest banners flare under the mirrored glass of her city.

Yet Aliyah endures. Beneath the crown and beneath the grief of things she cannot say, she holds fast to one belief: that a true ruler does not demand obedience — she deserves it. Through the storms of politics, bitterness, and the memory of personal loss, she must discover whether her reign will be defined by fear or by the light she was born to carry.
