Greetings, travelers.  Sometimes the Otherworld doesn’t wait for doors to open, but comes looking for us.  Today, our path leads beyond the edge of Earth itself, into a story where science and myth share the same sky.  If you’re drawn to tales of cosmic mystery, first contact, and journeys that reshape the meaning of identity, then read on to learn more about Discovery: Prelude to a New Era.

Author K. J. Rainio brings a thoughtful, expansive vision to Discovery: Prelude to a New Era, the opening volume of a sweeping science-fantasy saga.  Drawing on a background in science and a lifelong love of speculative storytelling, Rainio blends intellectual curiosity with a deep sense of wonder.  The result is a narrative that feels both imaginative and grounded.  It’s a story where questions of consciousness, communication, and survival sit comfortably beside awe-inspiring spectacle.  Her storytelling carries a quiet confidence, inviting readers to explore new worlds in addition to new ways of thinking about humanity’s place among them.

Two teens disappear in Shanghai and embark on an epic journey into the unknown.

Long before the beginning of our time, life has existed in the eternal vastness of the Universe. Ancient creatures have traveled from galaxy to galaxy, from universe to universe, fighting for their survival and building ever-evolving civilizations.

When a sentient starship enters Earth’s atmosphere, it sets off a chain of unforeseen events. Guided by an ancient code embedded deep within its consciousness, the invisible vessel identifies two individuals and takes them far across alien worlds and distant realms. They encounter powerful, intelligent beings, face surreal trials, and unravel cryptic messages. This gripping novel is a unique mix of fantasy, Sci-Fi, and space opera, offering a multilayered plot and a thrilling adventure. On faraway planets, it provides an unforgettable scene where dragons and starships share the same sky.

This is the first book in a captivating series that dares to ask:

Who are we? Are we ready to meet the others? And what lies beyond the edge of knowledge?

Discovery: Prelude to a New Era is especially compelling due to its sense of scale, which is balanced with emotional intimacy.  While vast science fiction and rich fantasy shape the outer story, at its heart lies a deeply human journey that explores identity, connection, and survival in the face of the unknown.  Rainio’s worlds feel alive and intentional, layered with mystery and purpose, and her prose carries a sense of curiosity that mirrors the story’s central themes.  Blending the wonder of classic space opera with the dreamlike resonance of fantasy, this is a book for readers who love expansive mythology and thoughtful worldbuilding.  If that has piqued your interest, don’t wait.  Check out Discovery: Prelude to a New Era on Amazon today!
And here’s another reason to get this book now.  The second book, Discovery: A Second Chance, has now released on Amazon as well.
