Aurelda II: Echoes of the Ceiba

Jason Samadhi

A love letter to the Riviera Maya and steeped in Yucatecan Mayan-inspired mythology, Aurelda: Echoes of the Ceiba deepens the epic journey of spiritual awakening and the struggle for balance. Set a decade after Prophecy of Resonance, Mo'an-now the reluctant heir to an ancient legacy-marks his twenty-first birthday with a rite of passage intertwined with the sacred Lumina.

As echoes of his father's mysterious research resurface, dangerous ambitions stir beneath the surface. Entangled with K'ihnich, a brilliant scholar whose fascination with the Lumina hides a secret agenda, and anchored by the steadfast love of Itzam'Yeh, a fierce yet compassionate warrior, Mo'an is thrust into a maelstrom of betrayal, loss, and destiny. When tragedy shatters his world, he embarks on a transformative odyssey guided by ancestral wisdom and the whispered legacy of the sacred Ceiba.

Every heartbeat calls him to decide: to embrace his role as guardian of the Lumina or let its power fall into the hands of unchecked ambition. Aurelda: Echoes of the Ceiba is a coming-of-age epic that explores the eternal dance between love and loss, devotion and betrayal, and the delicate balance that holds life together.
