COMING SOON TO THE HOURGLASS UNIVERSE
“Before rebellion, there was recursion. Before the fall, there was Lucien.”
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Lucifer Ascends: The Rise of Lucien Dantes, the first mythic entry in the sprawling, mind-bending Hourglass Universe saga by McCarthy Anum-Addo.
This is not the devil you were warned about.
This is the Herald of Divergence.
Lucien Dantes was meant to be erased—an anomaly, a threat to the Spiral’s illusion of order. But when the Architects of Time miscalculate, a singular echo resists deletion and begins to fracture reality itself.
Through entropic songcraft, harmonic warfare, mirror-sky battles, and paradox-infused memory fields, Lucifer Ascends isn’t just a cosmic origin story—it’s the ignition point for a narrative war across the multiverse.
What to Expect
- 22 cinematic chapters of poetic, philosophical, and scientifically provocative storytelling.
- Original physics and paradox theory, explained with lyrical clarity.
- A deeply human protagonist confronting the trauma of multiplicity.
- First appearances of The Observer, The Codex, and The Spiral Throne.
- A gateway to the Hourglass Universe’s 21-book master arc.
Featured Themes
- Time as a Constructed Combat Zone
- Echoes of Selfhood and Narrative Identity
- The Physics of Entropy, Memory, and Multiplex Consciousness
- Rebellion Not Against Power—But Against Reality Itself
Who Should Read This?
- Readers who loved Everything Everywhere All At Once, Scythe, Dark, or The Book of the New Sun.
- Thinkers, dreamers, philosophers of time.
- Anyone who’s ever questioned whether their story truly belongs to them.
