As for his greatest Weakness, probably his self worth. He doesn't explicitly think he's worthless, but life in Aethryn has told him his life is expendable and that he needs to be ready to be dropped when things get hard, and it pushes him into dire situations through the whole series.

I'd say Soren's greatest strength is his ability to read people. He may not always get the full picture, but he gets enough to survive, even in situations he's not always the most confident in.

Hello! I'm Daemi/Damien, 29 and Cake Decorator by profession, but have been writing online for 14 years now.
Currently working on a queer Adult SciFi novel in a megacity that asks how authentic love can be in a society that makes everything transactional, and what ambition really costs with that.

As for what I will be working on, I'll be working on my Adult Dark Sci Fi with romance novel Avarice's Wake. It takes place in a 15 mile high mega city in the year 3190, following Soren from LowerCity and what it costs him to be wanted and be in the orbit of a politician + his bodyguard bf.
(2/2)
What I love most about SciFi is its a forward look into the possibilities of humanity and answers we could provide about issues that plague us today. Plus the ideas for tech and comforts and intrigues are different flavors than found in fantasy.

Illustrated poster for my sci-fi horromance novel. Two men in glowing, futuristic space suits stand close together in the foreground, Jack with his arm around Elias. Both wear helmets with cyan-lit panels; one has blond hair and a beard, the other has dark curly hair, glasses, and a mustache. Behind them is a dark, eerie ice cave background with faint glowing eyes hidden in a crevice. Surrounding the scene are vertical film reels of images showing the two men in various intimate moments. Text at the top reads “From the producers of Annihilation and Brokeback Mountain.” Large title text reads “Babel on Callisto,” with the subtitle “A queer sci-fi horromance.” Text at the bottom reads “Rep: Matthew Valdez @ Megibow Literary Agency.”
