Author's Notes

Over the course of the next ten weeks I will be posting a short story based in the universe of the novel I am writing: "The Onyx Tide." It is a novel that I am passionate about and have been working on since the start of 2014. Below is a synopsis of the novel, I hope you enjoy your journey through the Onyx Tide universe.

I should warn you that the book will get gruesome and explicit in some areas. The book was written with a dark theme in mind and explores the idea of evil being relative. When writing it, I tried to give it the feeling of manga/comic turned to a novel. 

Synopsis:

Five years ago a disease known as the Onyx Tide spread across the face of planet. Failing to fight back the black tendrils that left the planet on death's row, each region began the construction of large platforms that would be built high above the planet's surface.

Now, things are getting worse. Rumours about a cult who worship the Onyx Tide are popping up. People say that this cult lives in the Black Lands, ground zero for where the disease started.

With mutants roaming the planet's surface, and no cure for the Onyx Tide in sight; resources are running thin. The minister of one region has gone missing and her replacement speaks of war. People with tremendous abilities are appearing as well but vanishing just as quickly as they are dragged away to be experimented on.

They have survived for five years. Can the human race now live through the battle between the disease and themselves?

Note: The short stories are canon however do not directly relate to the plot of the novel.
