Pneuma

The gods grant power. Michael Lancilgon has learned to live without their permission.

In Albion-Zamua, divine Blessings sustain kingdoms, shape magic, and bind mortals to the Aethyrs. But beneath their gifts lies a hidden cost: the gods feed on the life and prayers of those who depend on them.

Michael carries a power of his own-pure Pneuma, the primordial Breath. He prefers tea to worship and understanding to conquest. His existence threatens the order the gods have built.

When Gwen's village is drained of its Pneuma, her encounter with Michael opens a path beyond survival. Joined by an unlikely company, they journey through buried sanctuaries, dwarven mountains, elven forests, and haunted marshes, confronting guardians whose wounds have become prisons-and a divine order determined to preserve its hold.

Yet freedom demands more than defeating an enemy. It requires facing the fear, grief, and hunger for power within oneself.

Pneuma: Self's Emissary is an epic fantasy of spiritual awakening, blending occult philosophy and alchemical transformation with strange creatures, cosmic conflict, and the quiet pleasure of sharing a cup of tea.
