About Elias: A world Unraveled
Elias: A World Unraveled
In a fractured future where forgotten Templar secrets collide with the cold precision of a machine god, the line between salvation and annihilation is razor thin.
The year is 2367. After the rise of the Machine God, humanity lives under the unblinking gaze of Yggdrasil, an omnipresent AI that governs through faith, data, and fear. Cities stretch like steel carcasses across a dying Earth, while the last free zones crumble under endless surveillance. What was once part of a religion has become code; what was once truth, rewritten history.
Vidar, a battle-hardened rebel haunted by loss, leads a dwindling resistance that clings to myth as its only weapon. Their war seems unwinnable, until the arrival of Elias, a mysterious envoy sent by the Knights Templar themselves. Preserved in cryogenic stasis beneath the ruins of Valencia’s San Juan del Hospital, Elias awakens as part of an ancient contingency. A prophecy written at the dawn of the digital age.
But the world he wakes into is not the one he was meant to save. The Templar legacy is fractured, their truths buried under centuries of lies, and the AI’s reach extends even into the minds of men. As Elias unravels the hidden purpose of his creation, he must choose between obedience to the prophecy that binds him.. or defiance against the destiny that would make him humanity’s final martyr.
From the ruins of Old Europe to the machine-forged citadels of a reprogrammed faith, Elias: A World Unraveled explores the conflict between belief and control, past and future, man and machine.
Rich with atmosphere, betrayal, and the haunting echoes of lost faith, it is a dystopian epic of rebellion, prophecy, and awakening (perfect for readers who crave the philosophical depth of Dune, the scale of The Expanse, and the historical intrigue of Assassin’s Creed.)

Author Bio:
I work as a captain on offshore construction vessels, leading large-scale projects at sea. During the COVID years, I spent long stretches in Taiwan for the installation of offshore wind farms. Each arrival meant two weeks locked in a hotel room.
Just me, four walls, and far too much time to think.
That’s when I started writing. What began as a way to stay sane slowly evolved into Elias, a dystopian sci-fi story inspired by the isolation, control, and uncertainty we all experienced back then (though it’s not about viruses).
For almost a year, the manuscript sat 99% finished on my hard drive. No one knew about it…except my wife, Jennilee. I had worked on it on and off until 2024, then left it untouched for nearly a year. In late 2025, thanks to her trust and encouragement, I finally decided to finish what I started.
When I’m not at sea, I enjoy exploring the blurred lines between technology, humanity, and the unknown; themes that also run through Elias.
