"A compelling and mind-bending SF story." — Kirkus Reviews One mysterious icon. Four fractured timelines. A global conspiracy. A leap in consciousness that could heal the world—or end it. Threads of religion, mysticism, and past lives are woven throughout IKONA , a work of visionary fiction that explores the intersection of ancient mystery and the future of human consciousness. When a centuries-old Russian Orthodox cross begins to fracture the fabric of linear time, four strangers are pulled into a convergence that spans centuries: In Atlanta, Kate Davies witnesses the icon’s inexplicable healing power on a dying child. - In Sydney, Finley Minor is haunted by visions of possible futures and the crushing weight of consequence. - In Hong Kong, Jia Li MacPherson—former thief and Shibari performer—holds secrets a shadowy power will kill to keep buried. - In the Future, Wallace Deng Moroz, a monk living a century ahead, clings to a vision of a cure in a world silenced by a genetic engineering catastrophe. As a global conspiracy unfolds from the neon pulse of the city to the frozen silence of the Siberian tundra, these four souls must confront a terrifying reality: the cross is more than a relic—it is a key to a future they can barely comprehend. Their convergence is destined, but their choices will shape the final timeline. Merging high-stakes suspense with deep metaphysical inquiry, IKONA is a large-scale exploration of shifting realities, memory, and the ultimate price of healing a broken world. Which version of the future will you choose to inhabit?
