SYNOPSIS
Haki Kamau wakes up with no past and a dangerous power he can’t control. Every fight pushes him closer to something buried deep within, a truth he can’t remember and a rage he can’t escape. In a perilous world, Haki is forced to choose between mastering the power inside him and being consumed by it. Some are born with power. Others take it. Haki must survive his.

THE TRIO
HAKI
Haki looks like a natural-born hero, sharp, vibrant and capable, but in reality he is profoundly unmotivated by most things. Basically if it’s not life threatening, you can’t count on him.
Despite looking like the poster child for peak athletic form and good health, Haki’s real diet is about 90% junk food.
In short: heroic when necessary, snack-obsessed always.
Min
Min carries herself with quiet confidence and always seems composed, making her look like the responsible one of the group. In reality, she’s incredibly stubborn and has a habit of doing things her way.
She has an insatiable curiosity that borders on dangerous. If there’s a mysterious ruin, forbidden artifact, or suspicious button that absolutely shouldn’t be touched, Min is probably already halfway through figuring out what it does.
In short: calm on the outside, unapologetically curious on the inside.
TOVAN
Tovan is the group’s clown, always cracking jokes and finding ways to get under everyone’s skin. In fact, he’s usually the most annoying person in the room, and he knows it. His constant chatter and reluctance to throw himself into danger make him seem like the coward of the trio, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
He’s hopelessly addicted to social media. If there’s breaking news, celebrity drama, or the latest gossip, Tovan already knows about it.
In short: professionally annoying, and terminally online.

About Me…
…Written by Me.
Once upon a time, I was a writer with a head full of stories and no way to bring them to life. Hiring an artist was far beyond my budget, so my ideas remained rough drafts.
Then 2020 happened. During the lockdowns, I decided to learn art myself. Armed with YouTube tutorials and a lot of trial and error, I eventually became a freelance illustrator, gaining the confidence to finally create my own worlds.
After two years of planning, writing, and illustrating (and drinking far too much coffee), I released the prequel to my original series, AURA: Memories of Gaul, in 2024. The response exceeded every expectation, so I launched the main series, AURA: The Six Towers, in 2025.
Today, I’m building the world I once could only imagine, one chapter at a time, with the goal of completing AURA’s first season by the end of this year.
