The First Bloom, Book One of The Forever Endeavor, by Jaysen Owens
Read an excerpt

The Forever Endeavor begins with The First Bloom, a story about memory, grief, and a world that was never meant to be divided.

Alex has spent his life believing the world is ordinary. Then the dreams begin. A silver tree. Rivers flowing where they should not. A strange shop filled with objects that feel familiar for reasons he cannot explain.

With his friends Theo and Maya beside him, Alex is drawn into a hidden history buried beneath the human world. It is a history shaped by forbidden magic, a powerful religious order, and a name that has followed humanity for far longer than anyone realizes.

But parts of that history are missing.

Someone has been erased from it.

Some say she was forgotten. Some say she was a monster. Others remember her as something far more dangerous.

As forsaken symbols begin to awaken and the boundary between worlds weakens, Alex discovers that the mystery before him is older than any kingdom, older than the faith built around it, and far more personal than he ever imagined.

The First Bloom is only the beginning.

Beyond the Veil waits Eldara, a fractured world of ancient magic, broken councils, drowned cities, hidden armies, and a war shaped by truths history was taught to forget.

And somewhere within those forgotten truths lies the answer to a question Alex has been asking without ever knowing its name:

What if the thing you have spent your whole life searching for has been searching for you too?
