"Angels of Disruption" is my novel in progress, which I have been working on under this title for about 5 years (and under other titles for about 8 years before that). The genre is a mixture of fantasy, cyberpunk and gothic horror. The setting is Rhadixe, a world as technologically and culturally advanced as our world, inhabited by four distinct races: the pious Celesti, the logical Solari, the exotic Lunae and the decadent Tenebrae. Each race is influenced from behind the scenes by a variety of powerful supernatural beings, generally known as Angels.
The most powerful of the Angels, the God Enuzir, seeks to cleanse Rhadixe of evil via an apocalyptic Purification. However, Enuzir's madness prevents Him from realizing that his actions will destroy the world entirely. Thus, the story primarily concerns the intertwined lives of seven main characters, diverse in their ethos and convictions, who live in the endtimes of their world and struggle to a lesser or greater extent with the wills of the Angels - including an effort, despite the odds, to disrupt Enuzir's prophesized plans.
The question of when I will finish the novel in its entirety remains open at this point. Nonetheless, I have a fairly complete idea of what the plot entails, how the world works and what the characters are like. The purpose of this site then is to provide what information I have to the curious people who ask me what my novel is about. Hope you find it interesting.
This site is organized as follows:
- Characters
- Contains biographies of the seven narrating characters of the story. Also some information on other characters who play major roles in the plot.
- World
- Details on the setting, including the human cultures of Rhadixe, non- and super-human beings, geography, myth and history.
- Plot
- A sketch of the story's major timeline. No spoilers, just an outline.
- Excerpts
- Bits and pieces that I've written. I'm not sure to what extent these will end up being in the final version, but they are examples of my writing that I'm fairly happy with.
- Reference
- Discusses frequently asked questions, my sources of inspiration, etc. This ranges from subcultural references to philosophical works that have especially influenced me.
- Occult
- Details on the magico-religious system(s) I've created for the purposes of the novel. The enterprising chaos mage may feel free to apply bits of this to their own reality.
