Beneath the Burning Sky - HARD COVER

In the early 2000s, a boy named Polemistis is born into a world teetering on the edge of collapse. From the moment he takes his first breath, his life is destined to be a battle—not just for survival, but for the soul of humanity itself. As he grows, Polemistis becomes a seeker of knowledge, driven by an unquenchable thirst to understand the world and his place in it. But the world has other plans. When the COVID-19 pandemic ravages the globe in 2019, Polemistis and his brother Poneros are thrust into a new reality. Desperate to make a difference, they enlist in the military, becoming elite special forces operatives. Yet, as they witness the government’s descent into corruption and moral decay, Polemistis realizes the system he once trusted is beyond saving. Betrayed and disillusioned, he walks away, but the fight is far from over. By 2028, the world is a smoldering ruin. World War III has erupted, and nuclear fire has scorched the earth. Amid the ashes, Polemistis finds refuge in Bunker 7, a last bastion for the desperate and the damned. It is here, in the depths of despair, that he finds a flicker of hope: a woman who becomes his anchor in the storm, and the birth of their son Kleo. But hope is fragile. From the shadows, a sinister force emerges—the Oligarchy, a ruthless cabal determined to seize control of what remains of the world. They will stop at nothing to enslave or exterminate the survivors, and Polemistis knows that if they succeed, his son’s future will be extinguished before it begins. With time running out, Polemistis must rally the broken, confront his own fears, and ignite the spark of rebellion that will one day blaze into a fiery dawn. The Seeds of a Fiery Dawn is a raw and relentless journey through the collapse of civilization and the birth of a legend. It is the story of one man’s fight to protect the future, the rise of a shadowy enemy, and the seeds of hope planted in the darkest of times. This prequel sets the stage for the epic saga of Kleo, revealing the origins of the Oligarchy and the sacrifices that shaped the world of Beneath the Burning Sky.
