“TENDO” is the result of this search for truth – a story that does not preach, but invites. It aims to entertain, move, inspire, and – at best – remind.

There are stories where truth hides in data. And stories where truth sings through symbols. This is one where it does both. A deadly plague spreads. Political tensions threaten to fracture the last great council. And deep below, something stirs – older than Tendo itself.
Quaron, an elite warrior of the Nasar, is chosen by the eldest sages. He is destined to forge a weapon – born from the blood of the planet.
Darena, a brilliant astrophysicist, discovers an ancient relic. Not a fossil, not a machine – but a body part of something too old, too vast, too precise to be chance. And it speaks in numbers.
But this is not a battle between logic and faith.
It is the unraveling of that illusion.
For the forces threatening Tendo care neither for reason nor belief.
They are structures.
Frequencies.
Echoes of a dying energy that once held everything together.
Darkness draws near.
And two seekers face a far-reaching decision:
Will they seal what once was broken? … Or release what strains to rise to the surface?
TENDO – The Shadow of Avox is the first volume of an epic fusion of political intrigue, spiritual vision, and modern science. A novel that dares to find their shared root and reveal what threatens to suffocate them all.

Dive into the world of tendo
“An ancient, sacred energy. A dying world. A warrior who must confront the unthinkable.”
Tendo does not easily fit into a classic genre. If it required a new one, it would be: Ritual-Mythological Science Fiction.
The novel draws equally from:
- modern scientific theories
- spiritual and philosophical traditions
- political and cultural realism
- archaic mythology
These elements are not mere background or ornaments, but actively drive the plot and character development.
The style is:
- atmospheric
- dialogical and reflective
- adventurous and suspenseful
The language uses:
- comparisons, metaphors, ritual imagery
- inner monologues
- symbolic worlds that make the characters’ journeys emotionally tangible
The narrative follows an almost linear timeline but is told from several layered perspectives.
| Work | Element | Influence |
|---|---|---|
| J.R.R. Tolkien – Silmarillion / Lord of the Rings | Myth-making, lineages, cultural depth, polarity of good and evil | Ritual structure, striving for soul-healing, victory over darkness |
| Frank Herbert – Dune | Spiritual worlds, political intrigue | Lesser focus on binary conflict – Tendo seeks unification instead of polarization |
| Liu Cixin – The Three-Body Problem | Scientific foundation, cosmic threat | Science as question, not only as answer; volumes 2+3 will expand the cosmic/interstellar aspect |
| N.K. Jemisin – The Broken Earth | Layered perspectives, oppression systems, earth forces | Parallels, but more mythological, symbolically interwoven |
A Modern Impulse
Tendo is not just a novel, but also a search for answers.
Questions it asks:
- How do we return to balance?
- What truly separates us?
- How can unity emerge without dogma?
It is a modern literary attempt to formulate a vision for a new world beyond technocracy and sectarianism… recognizing that science, politics, faith, and myth are not in contradiction, but in close relation to one another. And even beyond that it asks how to fuse them for our future development.
