Jani Ojala : Seer's Tower

It's 2031 and Eemeli Kangas is dead. Fernio keeps watch over his dominion of Siberian forest, enjoying more reach than he's ever had before. His job is not only to watch over Korok, Shiru, Ruini and Aeor but make sure the year-old giant wolves learn all that there is to learn about what makes humans the dominant species - everything they can be.

Tiia is searching for answers. Suddenly losing everything and suddenly getting it back last year evoked something deep. She starts spending time with a single mother whose outlook answers a lot of her questions, but looming over it all is the mystery of this lady's husband and his shady involvement in international crime.

Sammy is disillusioned. His life stays shockingly similar after gaining possession of a magic he can wield. He's in a more stable position, in every sense, than he ever has been. An illicit affair with a secretary shows Sammy that still waters run deep; life is long and full of situations that either don't satisfy you enough, or satisfy too much.

Viktor lost two fingers in the Nevada Sunrise last year. It wasn't enough to completely lose his grip on things. He can still carry the weight he needs to; only now, it's with enough physical burden involved that it becomes an active reminder of the worth of his labor.

Alex Coleman got his family back in the Sunrise. He appreciates his life as much as this good fortune will elicit... but gets more complications into his swing of things when something flies through his window. It's an unnecessary complication, but one he learns to love.

At new heights of their power, the world's magics keep getting irritated by mankind's excess. When a fourth magic rears its head, it increases the potency of it all. Almost like Nevada Sunrise did. Only this time it's a perpetual flow, rather than a single explosive cataclysm.
Because life is long.

I have been working on Seer's Tower for almost two years. Wrote the first chapter in January 2024 and consumed the previous two years of my life with it. It's the biggest book I've ever written by every metric -- time and effort, page-count, word-count, you name it -- and I'm proud to be done with it. This isn't the end of the NSfOG-series yet though. There's still one more prequel-book and one final main-timeline book coming before my magnum opus (thus far) concludes. Exciting times!
