The Aetherfall Trilogy
Book 1: The Stillness Begins

When the world freezes in a single moment of light, thirteen-year-old Nova is left moving in a city that no longer breathes. Time is locked. People are statues. The sky glows with a sunlight that never fades. And at the center of it all is a mystery tied to her mother’s unfinished experiment.

Guided by strange pulses only she can feel, Nova begins to uncover the truth behind the Sollock Protocol; a project meant to save humanity but twisted by secrets, fear, and power. As she follows hidden recordings, abandoned labs, and echoes of scientists who tried to stop the disaster, Nova realizes the stillness isn’t empty. It’s watching.

Stillness Begins is a sci-fi mystery about light, time, and courage; about a girl who must decide whether breaking the silence is worth risking everything. Because some worlds aren’t meant to stay frozen… and some truths refuse to stay buried.
