About the series
Hidden in plain sight, they have walked beside humanity for centuries.
The Apara Chronicles is a genre-blending speculative series set in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina — where art, eccentricity, and quiet rebellion make the perfect cover for something older and far more deliberate.
The Apara live among us. They look like us. They do not advertise what they are. There are no gothic castles. No obvious tells. No folklore rulebook to follow.
What there is instead is purpose.
For thousands of years, they have intervened at pivotal moments in human history — guiding, correcting, protecting — never seeking recognition. The order is small. Selective. Bound not by myth, but by compatibility and consequence.
This series reimagines an ancient archetype through the lens of science, ethics, and evolution. It explores hidden societies, moral responsibility, chosen family, and the cost of long lives lived in service of a fragile civilization.
Set against the backdrop of Asheville’s strange beauty — a city that prides itself on keeping things weird — The Apara Chronicles asks a simple question:
What if the beings we were taught to fear were the last line of defense?
And what happens when one of us discovers the truth?
Genre
For readers who enjoy genre fiction that refuses to stay in one lane, The Apara Chronicles combines the intimacy of character-driven drama with the scope of speculative science fiction and the atmosphere of urban fantasy — without relying on familiar mythological rules.
