But rumours whisper of a twelfth star, one that was never declared, and one that could change everything. When veteran intelligence officer Nathan van Surya of the ASEAN Joint Intelligence Bureau (AJIB) headquartered at Jalan Sisingamangara, Jakarta, uncovers a shipment of black drones bound for Port Moresby, he steps into a conspiracy that reaches beyond governments and into the invisible architecture of truth itself. The drones are only the beginning - fragments of a plan to reshape the digital Grid, the system that controls data, identity, and belief across the Union. With the help of Maya Tan, a brilliant marine biologist turned analyst haunted by the line between science and faith, Nathan races against time to expose a Directorate that manipulates reality itself. But when two strangers claiming to be agents from the future appear with warnings of a catastrophe yet to come, Nathan faces an impossible choice: trust the unknown, or risk the fall of the world he swore to defend. In a future where truth can be rewritten and memories can be programmed, loyalty may be humanity's last rebellion. 📘 Read the selected episodes of the book published twice a week here before the official launch of "The Eleventh Star".

In a city where ancient magic is the ultimate prize, a cynical thief is the only one who can see it being stolen. Ivy Reed is a gifted art thief with a unique secret: she doesn't just see security systems; she sees the magical wards that protect Shanghai's most priceless artifacts.

Now, a powerful enemy is systematically dismantling the city's spiritual foundations, and the blight left behind is poisoning the minds of its citizens.

He is duty, tradition, and sacred power. She is rebellion, code, and cynical self-interest. Forced into a reluctant partnership, the thief and the guardian must forge a new kind of magic to stop a ruthless industrialist who isn't just stealing artifacts-he's harvesting the soul of the city to fuel his own terrifying immortality. In a desperate race against time, they will have to break into the most secure building in the world, confront a legion of weaponized ghosts, and risk everything to perform a metaphysical heart transplant on a dying city. Because if they fail, the future won't just be dark-it will be utterly silent.

In 1967, during the height of the Vietnam War and escalating U.S.-Soviet proxy conflict, CIA SOG operatives Sgt. Alex Mason and Sgt. Frank Woods are deployed to the secluded Japanese mountain town of Ebisugaoka. Official intelligence links the town's ancient Inari/Tsukumogami syncretic cult to a Soviet covert initiative-Project Umbra-a dark extension of the Numbers program involving hallucinogenic red capsules derived from a lightning-struck Divine Tree. A supernatural fog infused with red spider lilies transforms Ebisugaoka into a grotesque otherworld: rusted bridal machinery, living hina dolls, and vengeful household spirits. Soviet chemists have infiltrated the cult and weaponized their prophecy of the "blessed child"-targeting Hinako Shimizu, a troubled teenager whose psyche makes her uniquely vulnerable to the fog's manifestations. Mason's lingering Numbers programming makes him dangerously sensitive to Umbra's signals. Victor Reznov's spectral voice fuses with fox-spirit whispers, blurring supernatural influence and Cold War trauma. Woods anchors the team amid horror-while developing a fierce, intimate relationship with Sakuko Igarashi, a widowed shrine priestess scarred by ritual exploitation.

The rain hasn't stopped in weeks. It hums through glass, wire, and skin - a low, endless sound that makes it hard to tell what's real anymore. And in a city that buries its own secrets, four strangers are about to uncover one that refuses to stay silent. --- ECHO - the hacker. She doesn't sleep. She listens. Every wall hums with hidden voices, and she's learned to speak their language. > "Static isn't silence. It's someone trying to talk back." --- FLINT - the fighter. She moves like the world's always trying to hit first. Muscle and instinct, both sharpened by a past she never names. > "Violence is easy. Trust is the hard part." --- HALO - the officer. Rules were meant to protect people - until she saw who they really protect. Now she carries her badge like a confession she hasn't made yet. > "Justice looks different in the rain." --- CANARY - the spy. She's the quiet one, the one who still believes saving someone matters. But in this city, belief is just another way to bleed. > "Hope's just another code you have to crack."

Set in a future scarred by betrayal and shifting alliances, Mina's Star explores the fall of the old nuclear order and the rise of the Charter, a borderless movement redefining what sovereignty means. Across continents and oceans, spies, soldiers, scientists, and visionaries are drawn into a struggle between collapsing empires and emerging ideals. As intelligence wars erupt in Europe and corporate powers reshape humanity's destiny, hidden technologies threaten to upend the balance of deterrence itself. This near-future political thriller blends hard science and human drama, weaving together themes of peace, power, and moral rebirth. Each character carries secrets, loyalties, and choices that will determine whether humanity falls into ruin or builds a foundation strong enough to reach the stars.
