SYNOPSIS (Episode 3, series "Nemecene")

While Earth gets hotter day by day, Elize’s deteriorating mental stability awakens forces that even the Ministry, the seat of world power, cannot control.

In this final installment of the first trilogy in the 10 episode Nemecene™series, the hunt for twins Keeto and Elize continues, and a race to save Elize from her own self-destructive behavior emerges. With the help of their mother’s ex-medic, Dr. Tenille, and his secret connection with the new director of the Unification Research Arm, Elize gains access to classified experiments that could hold the answers to her psychosis.

Coupled with their half-Gadlin friend Zafarian’s ingenious hacks into high council data packets, the snooping trio discover that the twins’ absent father had been hiding more than his true profession from them. But he is not the only one with questionable origins.

Groups of mysterious beings are appearing, and certain children are at risk, once again. What transpires inside the illusory safety of their young community is unspeakable, as is their fate. If the twins only knew what really happens at the Almedina orphanage, and who is ultimately responsible …

Sothese, the master of subterfuge and deception, rises to the challenge of otherworldly first narrator. Through the visceral style that remains the trademark of his kind, he teases the mind and body with artful prose and misdirection. You may not feel for him, but you will definitely feel him.

As both the Pramam’s personal advisor and governor of the Global Spiritual Unit, Sothese’s reach extends beyond political maneuvering. Obsessions, submissions, and transgressions coil around those who should know better than to entwine themselves with him, yet the temptations can be irresistible … to anyone.

Debunked government propaganda ignites a movement calling for transparency that risks exposing the twins’ location. While the Pramam’s leadership decays from within, allies emerge, but are they already too late to stop the gathering?

Chaos replaces order with Keeto and Elize as bait. Only a shift in perception can restore the balance in the Unification, on the planet, and inside Elize’s splintered mind.

MEET THE NARRATORS

As it was for Episode 1, Nemecene: The Epoch of Redress, and Episode 2, Nemecene: The Gadlin Conspiracy, the novel has three narrators whose timelines cross and move forward as the story unfolds.

SOTHESE: He masters consent through subterfuge and seduction.

Obsessions, submissions, and transgressions coil around those who should know better than to entwine themselves with Sothese, yet the temptation is simply overpowering. His ministerial reach extends far beyond political maneuvering.Through the visceral style that remains the trademark of his kind, he seduces your mind, soul, and body with artful prose and misdirection, all for his own licentious entertainment, of course. You may not feel for him, but you will definitely feel him ... invade you from the inside.

ELIZE: Her restless tough-girl attitude betrays her splintered mind.

Keet is such a pup. Honestly. There’s nothing mystical about my nightmares. It’s a scientific fact that dreams are just our brain’s way of processing things. And in my case, it’s simply trauma nothing more. Keet’s afraid I’ll get lost in some mental void like Mother and that Father will commit me to the GHU. That’s where Mother died. Wipe that image. No more tears. Good. So we’re keeping everything hush. Crazed, eh? Anyway, I hope he’s wrong. Better keep the voices to myself. Everybody hears some. They just won’t admit it. It’s not considered normal. Right. Normal. At least, we’ll be gone soon and maybe even…Crap! No. Not now.
Breathe, Eli, breathe. Here he comes. Breathe. Act normal.

KEETO: His courage hides inside the cocoon of an armchair archaeologist.

Time has not filled the void you left when Eli and I were just nine years old. As I cloister myself here, sprinkling the pages of another journal with my emotions, I image that you see through my eyes, and write through my quill. It is this insanity that keeps me sane while my days spent digging for answers to questions that constantly change consume my sheltered life. If only your spirit could materialize into the Mother I need you to be once again. But reality reminds me otherwise. My only hope is that connecting with you, in these quiet and sometimes not so quiet moments of reflection, will uncover truths that liberate us all.
But will they come soon enough?
