The Reforged Universe
Explore the expansive sci-fi universe created by D.K. Shadow
"In the vastness of space, our greatest challenge isn't the distance between stars, but the darkness that lurks between them."
— High Commander Kar'yan Voss, The Primordial Architect Series
The Reforged Universe
The Reforged Universe is a vast fictional setting that spans millions of years, beginning in 3785 AE (After Epoch) with the Primordial Architects who laid the foundation for this expansive universe.
The timeline stretches across eons, fast-forwarding 65 million years to the Harbingers of the Ethereal Veil series—a dark fantasy saga featuring ancient powers, mystical realms, and epic conflicts between light and darkness—before eventually reaching the more recent Project Phantom and Project ForgePulse series, with numerous standalone novels set in between these major story arcs.
In the Project ForgePulse era, humanity has established colonies throughout the solar system. The discovery of the mysterious ForgePulse technology—capable of manipulating quantum fields—promises to revolutionize interstellar travel and communication, but also attracts the attention of the Obsidians, an ancient alien species that has dominated the galaxy for millennia.
Through these interconnected series and standalone stories, readers experience the rich tapestry of the Reforged Universe from multiple perspectives across different eras, witnessing the struggle for survival, the moral complexities of war, and the resilience of the spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
