THE DECREE OF GÆLAM
What happened on planet Kakugo thirteen thousand years ago?
An Astroarchaeologist and a decommissioned android open a forbidden tomb on a tidally locked world — and uncover a myth that a secret order of radical noble houses and cybernetic assassins is willing to kill to keep buried.
To prove her theory, obsessive Doctor Wilusa Hisarlik—with her synthetic Atros—risks everything: her career, her safety, even everyone close to her. Ultimately becoming the very legend she set out to expose.

The Stellar Archive of Tharsis holds the forgotten chronicles of The Marese, bridging cosmic high-tech lore with ancient mythical sagas before the rise of Kælan.
Witness the epic journey of CAM-ee and Aeneas's legendary epic. Each originally illustrated story unlocks deep celestial secrets from A.R. Lopez's expanding universe.
THE VAULTS OF THE LOST ARCHIVE
THE CHRONICLER:
A.R. LOPEZ
I am A.R. Lopez, author and creator of Marese Mythology. The vaults of the Stellar Archive of Tharsis are full of free illustrated legends, cosmic mysteries, and ancient sagas from the once-great Marese civilization. You’ll read about the oath of Akkad, the journey of CAM-ee, how Kaelen The Brave caged a white leviathan beast, about the epic of the demi-god Aeneas and his wars against unruly Gods of fire and ice, and much more.
These Terra-Martian tales from the Dual-cradle of galactic civilization will immerse you in the same Cosmic Antiquity the Marese’s heirs romanticized to a dangerous degree, setting the stage for my soon-to-be-released novella, The Kælan Synthesis.
All your donations will go towards professional line editing and commissions for original illustrations, helping bring all these works of literature to the public.
