Scraped Knees & Silver Songs

A new dynasty was forged in revolution, but now four Queens must prove that a family bound by love is stronger than any bloodline.The peace of the new world is shattered when a violent assassination attempt on Korina’s miracle-born sister, Adæa, reveals a festering rot in the heart of the realm. The young girl is saved only by the intervention of Kløak-Ada’s spectral guardian-forcing the four Queens of the Lynx Dynasty to formally adopt Adæa as their daughter and heir to protect her. This act brings Adæa to the Grand Spire, where her unique mind becomes a focal point for the new age. Her synesthesia-the ability to see sounds as 'bumpy purple ribbons'-sparks a crisis that leads Ada to contact her old world, Earth, confirming her daughter’s neurodivergence and inspiring Korina to create the 'Veritas Initiative' to study and protect all such minds.As Adæa grows, the threats against her evolve from physical violence to insidious political warfare. A radical faction known as the 'Hearthkeepers'-led by the bitter Lord Cassian Valerius-attempts to destabilize the throne by branding the Queens’ family as a 'sterile' and 'unnatural' union, painting Adæa as an illegitimate heir. While her mothers fight this ideological war-Sera on the streets, Erita in the shadows, and Ada in the halls of parliament-Adæa finds her own power. She masters her synesthetic gifts through a new, magical Æther-Lute and finds an unexpected equal in Vex Volkov-Rhenderon, a logical prodigy from Rhedeon. Their bond, a perfect harmony of feeling and logic, blossoms into a deep, supportive love, forging a powerful new alliance.These cascading conflicts force Ada to a profound realization: their entire reality lacks a unified identity. To counter the factionalism and secure the future, she convenes a 'Grand Conclave', assembling all the great powers-Empress Thema, Admiral Silas, and the Render-Witch Nividia-to propose a formal name for their world. After a dramatic final showdown where Ada confronts the source of her enemies’ grief, the entire supercontinent votes in the historic 'Day of Designation'. The populace overwhelmingly chooses Ada’s proposal, 'Yumesato' (Dream Home). Ada solidifies her new world order by naming the unified ruling council 'The Æthergarde of Yumesato', finally bringing true, lasting peace to their reality.The Kremøtoa Codex is an adult science fantasy series intended for mature audiences. This book contains positive representations of LGBTQ+ relationships and loving portrayals of neurodivergence. However, this volume deals heavily with themes of psychological trauma, including existential crises, profound grief, child endangerment, and bigotry (including discussions of eugenics). It contains scenes of violence, including the attempted murder of a child, and features an explicit, detailed discussion of past sexual assault and its resulting trauma. Reader discretion is heavily advised.
