Book 1 of Rebirth of the Technomage Saga: Earth's Awakening

Stolen at birth and raised under the cruelty of her step-family, Raven wakes up on her seventeenth birthday with something impossible—memories from ninety-nine different lifetimes.

Once known as Mara Brenner, a forgotten servant girl, she now remembers every betrayal, every death, and every loss she has ever suffered across countless lives. In every one of them, she was beaten down by fate… and every time, she died with regret. But this time is different.

She is not starting from nothing anymore.

Raven carries a rare tri-bloodline that combines the strength of dragons, the healing of Lín, and the wisdom of Zhào. Inside her soul-space are ten mystical Blood Essence Beads—each one capable of unlocking a piece of her divine potential and restoring her body and spirit step by step. With each awakening, she gains mastery over forgotten technomagic: alchemy, rune crafting, artifact forging, and the fusion of magic with advanced science. But every step forward comes at a cost—pushing her mind and will closer to their breaking point.

The world she lives in is ruled by the ruthless Eight Great Families, where noble bloodlines fight for power in a brutal century-long tournament. Beneath them hide ancient cultivation clans, manipulating history from the shadows.

And right beside her is Amara, her step-sister—spoiled, venomous, and determined to steal everything Raven has left, guided by something dark that whispers in her ear.

But the truth running beneath it all is far greater.

Raven is a Pillar Soul—one of the fundamental anchors holding the world of Ascara together. If she falls into darkness, reality itself will collapse. To prevent that, she must find and awaken the other Pillar Souls scattered across the world: broken people, forgotten lives, and souls on the edge of corruption.

And time is running out.

In five years, the Great Shift will begin, returning spiritual energy to a world that has long abandoned magic. As technology starts to fail and ancient forces awaken, chaos will spread across empires.

Behind the scenes, an even greater threat grows—the Devourers, cosmic beings that feed on suffering and corruption, waiting for the perfect moment to consume everything.

Standing in her path are false allies, hidden enemies, and people like Kael Xuán—the heir of a ruling family and someone tied to her across multiple lifetimes through betrayal.

Even powerful organizations like SIS claim they are maintaining order, while secretly sacrificing lives to do it.

The only one who seems to truly understand her is the Exiled Keeper of the Accord, an immortal guardian bound to protect Ascara’s souls. In him, Raven may find an ally… or something even more complicated—an echo of a love story that was never meant to exist.

In a broken empire where magic is dismissed as myth and technology is worshiped as truth, one forgotten girl is about to change everything.

But first, she has to survive becoming the most dangerous thing in the world…

herself.
