Archive of the Unborn

"What happens to the lives that were never lived? To the souls that were denied birth?"



In a world where reincarnation is regulated and reality is shaped by the souls that pass through it, there exists a hidden dimension: the Archive of the Unborn—a colossal library beyond space and time, housing the records of every soul that was conceived but never born.



Ilen Merrow was meant to be reincarnated—but something went wrong.



Instead of being reborn, Ilen awakens inside the Archive, not as a record... but as an anomaly. Marked as a “Zero,” a soul that should not exist, he is granted access to the Echo Paths—fragments of unrealized lives that grant him forbidden powers, memories, and identities that never came to be.



But all is not well.



Reality is starting to bend.



Cities dream of people who never lived. Cults worship unborn gods. And a secretive faction known as the Birthwrights is trying to resurrect the most dangerous unborn souls—those that were sealed for the protection of reality itself.



Now caught between the manipulations of Archivists, the ambitions of rogue souls, and the mysteries of his own impossible existence, Ilen must uncover the truth behind the Archive, the reason he was spared oblivion... and the cost of becoming something that never should have been.
