The Ouranian Chronicles, Book One: Masks of God

THE OURANIAN CHRONICLES Series are "TRUE FICTION": All facts and historical events are verifiable and true—including the historicity of most of the characters even if they are names from tradition or myth.

In Book One: MASKS OF GOD, Kayin is a man burdened with “borrowed memories” that span 13,000 years of human history. He is driven by an enigmatic voice—the Numen—who compels him to complete tasks toward an ultimate goal he can only guess at.

The year is 1347, and the Mongols are bombarding the besieged city of Kaffa, slave capital of the world, with firebombs and plague-ridden corpses, when Kayin must rescue a redheaded little girl . . . He crosses paths with the Masks of God, an assassin sisterhood dedicated to freeing women and children from bondage, and meets Setenay, Adyghe princess and leader of the warrior nuns’ bane maiden squad. With her, Kayin gradually discovers the Numen’s plan, involving the assassination of the Mongol Khan Janibeg, and the acquisition of the powerful “Stones of Heaven.”

His mission is revealed as the search for a mysterious Hiding Land. He embarks on a perilous journey to the future, where he uncovers a dark dystopia, and a horrifying twist—the Silent Ones: a hive-like people who have lost all contact with their voice of conscience. Kayin faces the possibility of losing his Sense of Self (and thereby the memory of a long lost love), as he is tasked with coaxing the Silent Ones to speak, while grappling with his role in safeguarding the memory of the world and, along with it, the very future existence of humankind.
