Overview
A mysterious structure encompasses Earth, and while the Church of the New Elect prepares for communion with the Sentience, a dark and distant world is reborn. Making an alliance with a powerful and enigmatic species, humankind is brought to a terrible realisation: they do not belong in this universe. Cassandra Messina was warned these days would come, and she believes God is on her side. But the one who speaks from the shadows is not a god at all. Not even close. In Kiranis, Ronald A. Geobey builds a universe and populates it with characters - human and alien - of familiar proclivities and relatable ambitions. Of both darkness and light he writes, blurring the gray areas of morality amidst an unfolding chaos of universal proportions. The Kiranis series is big and bold, with underlying philosophies and dark insights intricately woven into an epic Space Opera. Merging Science Fiction tropes with Fantasy staples, Ronald weaves an epic story that redefines and reinvigorates both genres.

Reviews
"""[...] I really enjoyed Gods of Kiranis. The plot is intricate and the complexities only serve to focus the mind on this devilishly clever fusing of time-travel, religion, relics of the past, and science fiction. [...] I was constantly surprised by the twists and turns in this amazing tale, and this kept me reading until the very end. [...]"" - Jacqueline Hodder ""The premise is new, the setting intricate, with the action and twists in the plot continuous, unexpected, and engaging. Elements of science fiction and fantasy that you may think you are familiar with are given new nuance, with a host of characters and species that will leave you wanting more."" - Ishmael A. Soledad. ""Gods of Kiranis isn't just a sci-fi novel. It's an achievement, and a very notable one. The book has an unbelievably dense and complex plot, on the level of the Game of Thrones novels, and it's impressive with the scope and imagination of the science fiction elements used. Most importantly, it provides entertainment and leaves you wanting more. Readers looking for a truly unique novel in terms of universe building and scope won't want to miss this one."" - Monster Librarian"
