Evren Council: Evren, #1

By Melissa Quinn

Elara has a universe to protect and she needs to act fast…

 

Elara must help life to flourish in her Evren—her universe—and protect it at all costs. For years, she has relied on her two trusted student apprentices, Vera and Rigel, to help her. Yet when one becomes secretive and turns on her, it puts more than her Evren in danger…it risks the entire Evren multiverse.

 

Rigel is greedy and hiding something…

 

Once considered family by Elara, Rigel hungers for power, even if it means destroying the Evren. If Rigel can get his hands on The Book of Azriel, he'll learn the secrets to the Evren multiverse. With that kind of power, he can defy the laws of nature and throw the multiverse into chaos. All he has to do is use his charms at the Library of Omnia, access the book, and steal the Elu stone, which controls life in the Evren.

 

Can Elara outwit him and save the Evren multiverse?

 

Elara has a plan and one loyal apprentice, Vera, at her side. Now, can she pull the other Evren together, protect the Elu stone, and defy Rigel's evil scheme?

Evren Equals Universe

He was here. Rigel. There was no mistaking his light as he crossed over the boundary into the starry embrace of the Evren. An Evren is the universe that surrounds us. Only it’s more than darkness and stars. It’s an energy that is present in all living things. The being who embodied this energy is named Elara. She is the manifestation of our Evren, which can be comprehended by those who reside within. She is why Rigel was here.

It was no surprise. They expected Rigel to come. After all, he promised Elara that she would be the first on his list of captives. It was all part of his nefarious plan to gain power over all life in the multiverse. He believed he had a better plan for the multiverse. His plan was to organize the chaos he saw around him and force it to flow through a single source, himself. The only flaw in his plan was he did not think she would be ready and that would be her advantage.

Elara stood in her usual spot on the dais in the center of a spacious room known as the Qalea Chamber. It was where Vera and Rigel learned the secrets of the Evren from Elara. The chamber also served as their school and was a home away from home on Earth, which all three of them shared. Elara stared at the entry platform in front of her deep in thought.

Vera’s voice echoed off the walls of the bright white limestone chamber. She was Elara’s young apprentice and was always at her side. Her eagerness to spring into action at the slightest request made her the perfect sidekick. And there was no one Elara trusted more.

What else do we need to do?

Elara held up her index finger without breaking her concentration. She stood in front of her black tufted throne absorbed in her thoughts. You could tell by the way her eyes moved that she was going through a mental list to make sure that everything she planned was in place.

While Vera waited, she let her eyes wander up the unending wall and allowed her head to fall back as she gazed at the cosmos high above. There was no ceiling to top off this grand chamber. The Evren appeared rotating as Earth twirled in its vast expanse.

Elara surveyed the octagonal room one last time and looked directly at Vera, who leaned forward, bouncing on her toes, awaiting instruction.

With a confident nod, Elara said, We are ready, but there are a few things I’ll need your help with when I am gone. Follow me.

The grand staircase curved up, leading them to the library on the second floor. At the top of the stairs was a great white wooden desk. Elara stopped and picked up a bulky
