Bellosio: An Age of Miracles

In the sweeping epic
An Age of Miracles
an unmarried princess fights for her throne amidst an invasion and a struggle for secular reforms, while a mystical abbot from an arid outpost arrives and becomes pivotal to the world’s destiny.

Bellosio
is where destiny and divinity collide on a terrestrial planet where life was seeded by an ancient, ethereal being. This creator, known as the “Cog,” has nurtured three distinct primate species, each with their own path and purpose. Yet, as the unseen Cog is revered by many, skepticism brews among the human-like species, threatening to unravel the fabric of their shared existence.
Set against the backdrop of a civilization teetering between the late middle ages and the dawn of enlightenment, an inept emperor’s reign is challenged not only by external threats but also by the internal turmoil of succession. His daughter, the unexpected heir, grapples with her destiny, her duty, and the shadow of an assassination plot that could have changed the course of history.

“Shekleton has written a truly moving story with good characterization. The visuals are most impressive, and he kept me in his world of believability throughout the story.” – Candace Sinclair, Book Writing Coach and Editor
