Opëshum's latest book, "Beyond the Father," is causing a stir in the literary world as it sets the stage for a thrilling new sci-fi series entitled "gods on Trial: The Series™." The novel delves into the theme of overcoming limitations and takes place on the planet Xżyber, where the inhabitants of the Sub-Median Region, who are imperfectly reborn as metal beings, oppress their organic counterparts.
The story also explores the Central Kingdom, where the ruling class uses religion to justify their brutal subjugation of the lower classes. As the threat of war over scarce resources looms and revolution simmers in each region, the existence of the eccentric god who created them all goes unnoticed. This deity observes, engages in thought-provoking conversations with his astute companion, and occasionally learns from his observations, but rarely intervenes.
Despite the many obstacles and struggles that distract the characters from a far greater threat, Prince Anglid's vision quest into the unexplored Area X may ultimately change everything. However, just when readers think they have the story figured out, Opëshum throws in another unexpected twist.
Critics and fans alike are praising the book's imaginative world-building and intricate plot, as well as Opëshum's writing style, which is said to be gripping and suspenseful.

Hindustan Metro Book Review Of Beyond The Father Book 1 by Opëshum
"Beyond the Father" is the first book in the eight-book series "Gods on Trial" and sets the foundation for the upcoming novels. The story is set in the world of Xżyber, which is geographically divided into four regions and inhabited by two species: Mollards and non-Mollards. The book explores the differences and rivalries between the two species as they struggle to secure their future.
The central characters of the story are King Thio and Queen Evaline, who rule the Central Kingdom. The planet is vulnerable to storms that affect the non-Mollards more than the Mollards.

The story explores how the Xżyberians will deal with the challenges they face.
