Meet the Protagonist

Orpheia

Born from the ambitions of those who sought to transcend human limits, Orpheia exists between two worlds — neither fully human nor entirely beast. In the ravaged deserts of America, the year 2090, she must confront what she is, what she was made to be, and whether survival is enough when identity itself is the battlefield.

Characters

Key Characters

Orpheia — Protagonist · Human-Tiger Chimera

Created by The Architects, Orpheia is a survivor navigating a world that sees her as either weapon or monster. Her journey is one of identity, rebellion, and the cost of being something new.

The Architects — Antagonist Faction

The mysterious organisation responsible for the chimera experiments. They seek to control humanity's next evolution — and will eliminate anything that escapes their design.

Rebel Survivors — Allies

A scattered resistance of humans and chimeras fighting to reclaim what remains of the world. Fractured by mistrust, united by necessity — and uncertain whether Orpheia is a saviour or a threat.

Hunter Units — Antagonists · Pursuit Force

Engineered to track, contain, and eliminate escaped subjects. Cold, relentless, and nearly impossible to outrun — they are the long arm of The Architects.

Reviews

La Dimension Shiro pulled me in from the very first page. The atmosphere of Tokyo feels incredibly real, and Frank Hammett is the kind of character you don't forget easily. A gripping, original fantasy unlike anything I've read before.

Sahelios takes the story to a completely different level. Two parallel worlds, two compelling characters — and a race against time that kept me up reading until 2am. Brilliant storytelling.

The world-building in the Cycle of Albalöth is extraordinary. Sylvain Julien blends Japanese culture, fantasy, and mystery in a way that feels completely seamless. Can't wait for the next volume.
