Lord of Water — Book One
Blue 3
A spirit arrives on a precious water planet to fulfill an ancient purpose: to calibrate and protect her for another million years. But as the longest day approaches, dark forces stir in the deep, and what began as a simple task becomes an epic battle for survival.
Meet our Lord of Water, Mila, Gary, and a crew of loyal companions. Feel the ocean spray. Stand at the bow of the Hi-Sun as she rises over mountainous swells. Dive into a world where ancient magic and timeless adventure collide.
"Lord of Water is a unique and compelling story that draws you in from the very first page. The world-building is extraordinary and the characters feel deeply real. I could not put it down."
About the Lord of Water Trilogy
Lord of Water is an epic trilogy that begins at the end of one life and ends at the beginning of everything. It is a story told across three books, two planets, and more lifetimes than any one reader can count — by a narrator who has already lived through it all and is simply, warmly, sharing what he knows.
The Lord of Water is an immortal guardian whose ancient purpose is to find the precious water planets scattered across the universe, calibrate them, protect them, and ensure they endure for another million years. Book I opens as one such mission draws to a close — and a new one begins. We join the crew of Hi-Sun mid-voyage: our narrator, Mila, Gary, Max and Pei. A vessel that has become a character in her own right. A mission that will test all of them.
This is not a story told from a distance. You will feel the ocean spray on your face. You will stand at the bow of Hi-Sun as she rises over mountainous swells. You will fall in love with the people who join the journey — and feel the weight of what they are sailing toward.
The trilogy is structured as a loop. By the time you reach the final pages of Book III, you will understand why the opening pages of Book I feel the way they do — warm, settled, cosmic, already-knowing. The narrator has been here before. He has already won. What he is doing, across three books, is telling you how.
Book III is that story. The full account of a spiritual battle for a precious water planet — one that our Lord of Water carries inside him like a favourite memory. A story he shares with Gary on the deck of Hi-Sun, one night between missions. And when the final page turns, the reader realises something: they have been living inside that story all along.
This is science fiction for people who feel things deeply. A trilogy for those who have always sensed that fiction, at its best, is not escape — it is instruction. A map to a future worth choosing.
Book I is available now as an eBook. The journey begins on the water.
