Empyrean Earth Illuminated

In a galaxy ruled by lies, one spark of truth can ignite a revolution.

From the visionary minds of Gabe Eltaeb and Akheon comes a stunning new graphic novel—Empyrean: Earth Illuminated—a sweeping 120-page sci-fi saga where tyranny tightens its grip, but hope refuses to die.

On the planet Solis, the iron-fisted tyrant Kazimir rules with godlike authority, casting shadows across the stars. His promises of salvation mask a deeper darkness—one built on deceit, fear, and control. But when a daring pilot named Oliver and an unrelenting scientist named Elvera unearth ancient truths, they set into motion a rebellion that could shatter everything.

With death closing in from all sides—through the ruthless Colonel Redd and the relentless cyborg enforcer Scathe—our heroes must risk it all in pursuit of a fabled paradise: Nova Terra. But is it real? And if it is, what price must be paid to reach it?

Why This Story Matters

Empyrean: Earth Illuminated isn’t just a thrilling sci-fi adventure—it’s a bold exploration of faith, courage, and the timeless fight against tyranny.
