The Earthwalkers
By Edward Leighton

What if your entire life was just three days in another world?

On the luminous planet Xelyar, nestled near Sirius Alpha, aging, war, and hunger are obsolete. The Xelari-beings of pure plasma light and harmonic frequency-have transcended biology, mastering creation through sound, resonance, and intent. Yet, for all their advancement, one mystery remains unsolved: human emotion.

To understand the raw, chaotic beauty of feeling-love, grief, hatred, desire-the Xelari created the Transmutation of Consciousness: a radical experiment to live as humans on primitive Earth. One Earth year equals just one hour in Xelyar. An entire human life passes in days.

Now, meet the Earthwalkers.

Elarion, born as Leonardo in the favelas of Brazil, discovers love through violence and redemption through grief.

Tirava, a Korean heiress in exile, unlocks the power of vengeance and sorrow.

Voruun, a man lost in addiction, finds rebirth through pain and meditation.

Zelya, a humble caretaker, teaches the true resonance of compassion.

Each returns to Xelyar carrying the frequencies of their lived experience-memories extracted in the crystalline halls of the Sentari Prime Lab, overseen by scientist-priests and harmonic translators. But not all who return remain whole. Some don't return at all.

As the experiments grow more complex, Xelyar begins to feel the ripple of human emotion in its flawless field. Love is destabilizing the equilibrium. Passion is bending creation. And a missing Earthwalker may be transmitting something far more dangerous than memory...

Why Earth?
Because Earth is still unfinished. Still chaotic. Still choosing.
And because no other world feels quite like this one.

Perfect for fans of Cloud Atlas, The Midnight Library, and The Three-Body Problem, The Earthwalkers is a mind-bending fusion of speculative science, cosmic mystery, and the profound truth of what it means to be human.
