World Synopsis
Two hundred years after the Collapse, humanity survives but it does not thrive.
Scattered colonies exist beneath the ruins of the old world, connected by trade routes, political agreements, and uneasy alliances. Each settlement struggles to maintain stability while balancing the limits imposed by the machines that still roam the surface.
Human expansion is slow. Progress is uncertain. The future of the species remains fragile.
Then a discovery changes everything.
A young traveler named Zee uncovers ancient tech containing fragments of information long thought lost , and evidence about how the machines may have been created in the first place.
If the data is real, it could change humanity’s understanding of the machines that have shaped the last two centuries.
But knowledge alone may not be enough.
Because while the machines remain a constant threat, humanity’s greatest obstacle may be its own divisions. Rival leaders, competing factions, and long-standing distrust continue to pull the surviving colonies in different directions.
The question is no longer simply how humanity will survive.
It is whether humanity can unite long enough to change its future.
The Evangil Archives is a companion novella series set within the same universe as The Evangil Chronicles.
While The Evangil Chronicles follows the events unfolding two hundred years after the Collapse, the Archives step back to examine the moments that helped shape the world humanity now inhabits.
Political decisions. Early colony leadership. Incidents that were recorded, forgotten, or quietly buried.
Some stories shed light on the past.
Others raise new questions about it.
Taken together, the Archives form a collection of recovered records — fragments of history that reveal how humanity survived the Collapse, and the choices that shaped the world that followed.
Because the past is rarely as simple as the records claim.
