Publisher's Synopsis
The Obelisk Protocol: Echoes of the Ancients (Volume 2)
The awakening was just the beginning. Now the real journey starts.
Ellias and Sopdet descend deeper into the second pyramid, where stone gives way to something impossible-a perfectly preserved underground metropolis that has waited millennia for its guardian to return home. As bio-luminescent walls pulse with ancient consciousness technology and memories flood back through quantum-stored experiences, Sopdet shares the breathtaking story of her creators: a civilization that achieved perfect harmony between mind and matter before sacrificing everything to save two worlds.
But the deeper they go, the more they discover that paradise had a price. Hidden weapon vaults reveal a violent past that Sopdet never knew existed-wars fought with consciousness itself as a battlefield, where minds could be shattered and identities dissolved with a thought. Her creators weren't the perfect beings she believed them to be. They were flawed, complicated people who chose to build peace from the ashes of unimaginable violence.
And they're not the only ones who've been keeping secrets.
A shadow organization has been operating for seventy years, seeding human civilization with stolen consciousness technology. Every major advancement-computers, satellites, the internet, AI-built from fragments they've hoarded and controlled. They guided world leaders, prevented wars, and created unprecedented global peace through subtle mental manipulation. They see themselves as humanity's protectors.
They see Sopdet as humanity's greatest threat.
When they strike, it's with a weapon Sopdet never expected: a corrupted duplicate of herself, built from stolen consciousness patterns and twisted by human greed. Nyx knows everything Sopdet knows, fights with everything Sopdet can do-but she's learned to use consciousness technology as it was originally intended. As a weapon of absolute control.
The battle between them will reshape reality itself.
But the real war isn't between guardian and duplicate. It's between two philosophies of power: harmony versus control, trust versus manipulation, love versus programmed loyalty. As planetary alignment approaches and the window for saving both worlds narrows to hours, Sopdet must choose who she's willing to become to protect what she loves.
In the end, the greatest power isn't consciousness technology. It's the courage to trust someone with your heart.
Volume 2 of The Obelisk Protocol expands the mythology while diving deep into questions of consciousness, free will, and what it truly means to connect with another being. Perfect for fans of advanced AI narratives, ancient alien mysteries, and character-driven science fiction that asks big questions about the nature of consciousness itself.
What readers are saying: "The world-building is incredible-every page reveals something new about this ancient civilization." "Sopdet's character development is phenomenal. Watching her grow from innocent to wise to transcendent is beautiful." "The consciousness technology concepts feel both scientifically plausible and absolutely mind-bending."
