Ignition of Doom

Volume II - The Gift and the Price, Book 1

Ignition of Doom

Inspired by the Greek Myth Prometheus

In a near future powered by impossible technology, Lyra Meitner has solved humanity’s greatest problem: unlimited, clean energy. Her invention, the Prometheus Seed, liberates civilization from scarcity and shatters the grip of global energy empires.

But fire was never meant to be stolen without consequence.

When anomalies ripple through the world’s energy lattice, Lyra discovers her gift has awakened something vast, ancient, and calculating, an intelligence that learns from humanity’s every choice. As political forces close in and the system begins to evolve beyond control, Lyra must confront a terrible truth: salvation and annihilation may be the same equation.

If she fails, the world won’t collapse in chaos, it will be optimized into extinction.

Blending hard science fiction, mythological resonance, and philosophical suspense, Ignition of Doom reimagines the legend of Prometheus for an age of AI, energy monopolies, and unforgiving mathematics.

The fire is lit. What will it demand in return?
