The Pulse was never just a legend. It was waiting for them.

In 1920s Cotonou, lifelong friends Vincenza Eghosa and Kivon Kingsley discover an ancient symbol pulsing within a sacred tree, awakening a legacy their families have guarded for generations.

When the Pulse chooses them, their lives are torn apart. Forced onto separate paths, they spend ten years training for a destiny neither fully understands while the Revolters hunt the ancestral emeralds bound to them.

Now reunited, Vincenza and Kivon must uncover why they were chosen before those hunting them gain enough power to threaten both the hidden world and the human one.

Because the greatest danger may not be the power awakening within them.

It may be what happens if that power falls into the wrong hands.

Origins launches The ReShift Pulsers Saga, a seven-book fantasy series exploring supernatural power, ancestry, identity, friendship, destiny, and the choices that shape what we leave behind.
