Have you ever felt the pull of ancient wisdom guiding you through modern life? Welcome to Aurelda: Echoes of the Ceiba-a sacred story of grief, love, and awakening set in a realm inspired by Mayan cosmology and ancestral memory.

At the center is Mo'an, a gifted young healer whose life is shattered by the death of his beloved companion, Itzam'Yeh, a fierce and tender warrior. On the eve of his twenty-first birthday, Mo'an is initiated into the Lumina-a resonant, living energy flowing from the roots of the great Ceiba into the soul of Aurelda. But instead of clarity, he is met with grief, and a calling he isn't ready to face.

As the city-states battle for control of the Lumina's power, Mo'an retreats into his healing work-tending to others while quietly neglecting his own pain. Guided by his spirit mentor, Chimalmat, he begins entering dream states where he encounters Jason, the reincarnation of Itzam'Yeh. Through these sacred visions, Mo'an comes to understand that love is not bound by time or form, and that healing begins within.

But deeper currents are rising. A brilliant scholar, K'ihnich, harbors secret ambitions, and betrayal strikes close to home. As the balance of Aurelda teeters on the edge, Mo'an must embark on a soul-led journey through wild lands and ancestral memory-one that will determine not only his fate, but the future of the Lumina itself.

Aurelda: Echoes of the Ceiba is more than a novel. It's an invitation to remember. A love story that transcends time.
