Beyond & A New World: V. Perios

Beyond & A New World: V. Perios

Paradise lies just beyond the bridge.

For Tod and Zoe, the long journey through the history of the universe appears complete. Yet at the threshold of Paradise, one final request is made. The Archon—the ancient adversary who has haunted worlds, myths, and civilizations—has vanished into the hidden realms of existence. The Lady wishes to bring him back.

Accompanied by the Angel of Time, Tod embarks on an unexpected mission across Perios, a series of mysterious domains where reality, memory, and imagination intertwine. There he must seek the Archon through worlds both wondrous and unsettling, discovering forms of temptation unlike any he has faced before.

But how does one save a soul that does not wish to be saved? How does one distinguish reality from illusion when both appear equally convincing? And can even the coldest reaches of the universe be warmed into love?

Blending cosmic adventure, philosophical fantasy, and spiritual exploration, Perios continues the journey beyond the end of history itself, into a realm where redemption remains the greatest mystery of all.

(Author's Note: Perios is an ongoing work. New chapters are added regularly as the story unfolds.)
