The Solars is the first book in an adult dark fantasy trilogy with a celestial cosmology. It is a 190k word rewrite of my first self-published work from 2011 (thirteen-year-old Jazzie. could write outstanding architecture with her age appropriate craft). The rewrite was started in June 2014 and its first draft was finished in June 2026. It is currently under revision. 

Basic premise: Sol Everlast has been homeschooled in her apartment, isolated by her mother for her entire life. One day, she has had enough and escapes to see what else there is to life and bumps into Matt, a red-eyed boy with fire powers who takes her to the Agency: an organization for young people with powers. She learns, however, that her power was hidden for a reason, and with a prophecy to be fulfilled by her birthday, things never get to be simple. 

As the systemic level of the tetralogy, The Solars is about how systems function in complex ways to predetermine our paths and make it difficult for anyone to get ahead.
