"The Children of the Twelfth Sun" is a dark, sweeping tale that blends myth, ancient prophecies, and cosmic forces into a powerful story of power, love, and betrayal. Set in a vivid, otherworldly desert landscape where gods walk among men, it occupies a unique space in the mythic science-fantasy genre, inviting readers to journey into a distant past where gods and humans intertwine through bloodlines, ambitions, and conflicts that echo across generations.
At its core, this story explores humanity's complex relationship with divine forces-the ancient Annunaki, celestial beings from the distant Twelfth Planet, Nibiru. With every appearance of Nibiru in Earth's orbit, a seismic shift is set into motion, and with it, humanity is reminded of its role as both child and pawn of these powerful beings. Through evocative, cinematic prose, the narrative creates a sprawling backdrop of towering structures, endless desert sands, and a palace teeming with political schemes, where King Alulim rules with calculated ruthlessness while bound by a forbidden love with a mortal, Lilia.
In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined.

Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.
Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
