Welcome to the world of Uldvar. I am currently still working on fleshing this page out so if you see anything missing, know it’s still under construction.
Genre: Romantasy Epic/isekai/with a hint of sci-fi

Setting
The books of Uldvar follow Alicia Kerner (Leda Ives’s roommate–if you read my Hellhound series) and Abel, the second son of Adam, as they find each other after decades of separation. Together, they must figure out how to survive in this strange new world and learn the truths from the myths around the prophecy of Uldlav’s destruction that they are both central to.
Above is the map of Uldlav (the world) showing Uldvar as one of the main countries on the continent, and the main hub of our story.
Below is a list of the main actors. Images are loose ideas of each character. Please feel free to imagine them however you see fit as you read!

Affinity
On Uldlav all creatures contain what is called affinity. This is the central essence that makes up a portion of their soul. While on other planets, most creatures cannot access this without divine or demonic intervention, Uldlav was gifted with both creatures who can naturally tap this essence and scripts for the humans.
Below is a list of all the orders of affinity that exist on Uldlav. All orders are based off a mix of angelic and demonic writing as devised by Adam, the first man. Each order is made up of base domains and users from Belvya have set braids they wear in their hair to indicate their order. While natural users outside of Belvya do not adhere to the braids, the structure of available orders and naming conventions are used across Uldlav.

Siauulya
Domains: Light/Flesh
Belvyan Braid: Fishtail
Siauulya are the healers of all the orders. If trained in Belvya, all are required to take a Hippocratic oath to do no harm.
Giauulya
Domains: Animals/Plants
Belvyan Braid:
Giauulya are the farmers and animal caretakers of the orders. They are very closely tied to nature and are often made fun of by the other orders as they are seen as less powerful. Most have just never met an effective Giauulya, however.


Reiuulya
Domains: Fire/Stone
Belvyan Braids: 6 weave
Reiuulya are the builders, engineers, and general creators of the order. They are often viewed as tedious, overly obsessed with their inventions, and difficult to work with. However, they play a very important role in Belvyan Societies.
Feiuulya
Domains: Wind/Lightning
Belyvan Braids: 5 weave
Feiuulya are the lawkeepers of Belvyan society. They are seen as some of the most powerful, since they can manipulate aspects of weather itself, and are seen as the wielders of Uld–the father of all Gods–power.


Maiuulya
Domains: Water/Ice
Belyvan Braid: 3 weave
Maiuulya are the politicians and bureaucrats who help keep Belvyan society running. They are generally liked and trusted by the other orders.
Diauulya
Domains: Darkness/Affinity
Belvyan Braid: None
This is the lost sixth order that the early inhabitants of Uldlav suppressed after Adam’s departure back to Earth. It is seen as the order of the gods of night and death, and was greatly feared due to its ability to manipulate affinity itself.

The aristocracy of Uldvar is divided into two castes of houses. The Vels and the Las. Vels are seen as higher houses that own the main swathes of land within Uldvar’s realms, whose heads are the main regents of the area. The Las are seen as lesser houses that make up of merchants and lower-level nobles who aid the higher heirms in ruling their respective areas. Most La houses are earned statuses either through service or mercantile success.

The books
Reading in series order it the way to go with this one.

Tithed to Shadows
A vacation gone wrong is survivable. Becoming the apocalypse is not.
Alicia should be dead after the plane crash. Instead, she wakes in a brutal world on the brink of war—one where masked warriors hunt her, beasts speak of rebellion, and ancient prophecy names her the harbinger of the end. The shadows that stalked her childhood didn’t vanish with the crash. They followed her… and here, they’re worshipped, feared, and hungry.
An elegant aristocrat offers protection—and a possible way home—while watching her like a long-awaited weapon. A spy wears the face of the friend she buried. A hardened lieutenant wants her with a dangerous, unflinching intensity. Every alliance is laced with desire. Every touch carries betrayal. In a world that wants to claim her body, her power, or her blood, Alicia must decide who she is willing to become—and whether the darkness inside her is a curse… or a crown.
