THE INFINITY FLOORS

A new LitRPG series, to be published by Cannon Publishing COMING SOON in 2027

On May 25, 2079, an ancient alien coalition came to Earth without warning and without mercy. The Varek gave humanity seventy-two hours to exist, until one woman, Priyanka Guthrie, looked into a cracked phone and asked social media, with absolute sincerity: “I thought 42 was the answer. Did anyone try that?” The Varek found it incomprehensible, and that was something they found worthy of studying. So, the annihilation order was suspended. Humanity was offered the Upload: bodies in stasis on Earth, consciousness inside the Arc, a physical world where death is permanent. And if, and only if, humanity can prove themselves worthy, they will be allowed to go home.

When Elena turns twenty-two, a DNA test from her adoptive parents sparks a quiet storm of curiosity. What begins as a journey to uncover her origins soon unravels more than she ever expected—a breakup with her boyfriend, rejection from her birth mother, and a growing sense of disconnection from everything she thought she knew.

But when she visits a distant cousin in Norway, Elena finds herself standing in the land of her ancestors, learning about Viking women who didn’t wait to be remembered—they wrote their own history.

In the heart of a snow-covered mountain town, a beloved toy shop glows each winter with tradition and wonder. High on a shelf stands a weathered tin soldier who has watched generations pass, faithfully holding his post while trains circle and children press their noses to the glass.
