Silver and Black: A new beginning: A Genesis Chronicles Novel (The Genesis Chronicles Book 1)

The Genesis Chronicles: Silver and Black – A New Beginning In the beginning, there was only the Realm — the perfect origin world, where immortal beings called the Genesis shaped layers of reality, ensuring balance and purpose across infinite worlds. Rune was one of them — a being of alignment and unity, meant to bring order to creation without force. But perfection cracks, and Rune fell — shattering his identity, losing his memory, and crashing through multiple broken worlds until he landed on Earth. Rune awakens in a New York alley with no memory of who or what he is. Alone, wounded, and stripped of power, he is quietly watched over by Cosima, his sister, hiding in human form under the alias Constance. She brings him into her life but withholds the truth, hoping Rune will heal on his own. However, strange entities called Fractureborn soon arrive — manifestations of the Rift, a mysterious force born from his fall. When Rune instinctively fights them in a primal, half-awakened state known as the Echo Stage, fragments of his past begin resurfacing. The fight marks his first accidental step back toward Genesis identity, drawing the attention of his siblings — including Ambrose, a fiery maker of force, and eventually Orion, the unerring hunter of corruption. Together, they are drawn into the growing crisis: other layers of existence are weakening, reality is fraying, and something else is coming — the Rift, a wound in creation tied directly to Rune’s collapse and the secret of an erased Genesis, their lost brother Quirinus. Through battles, flashbacks, and fragile alliances, Rune starts piecing together not just his past — but why he broke. He learns that perfection was a lie, that he once chose compassion over law, and that the cost was his identity. As Fractureborn attacks worsen and the Rift prepares to scale up its invasion, Rune’s siblings are forced to reveal the truth: Rune didn’t just fall. He fractured himself — to keep something greater from happening. By the end of Book 1, Rune regains enough power to stand as more than human — but less than whole. The Echo Stage is complete — the Rift is stirring — and the Realm is forced to admit a truth it cannot accept: Rune didn’t fail. He broke the system — by choice. And now, what remains must decide: Will he stay broken? Or become something the Realm has never seen before? The fall was the beginning. Reintegration is the war. View Less
