What if we had to take a 600 year break from technology to save the Earth? That is the backdrop to the Artifacts of Lumin series. Advanced technology, all of which is derived from the electrochemical properties of plants, has become nothing but myth to most of the populace of the planet Lumin, but to those who keep the secrets of the past, a war wages between those sects that think it's time to turn the lights back on and those that think the planet needs to be preserved at all costs.
The Clerics wish to protect and limit the use of the Network so as to preserve the planet. The Druids believe that only by activating the Network fully will humanity find a way to solve their power problems permanently. Two factions work for the same result, but will they ever get along?
Three friends, fractured. Mia hears the trees and feels them, desperate to heal the planet. Cedar, now partially blinded, has walked the path of peace since birth but grapples with a growing rage boiling in his blood. Both have chosen their side, and Taryn, their former friend, has seemingly chosen hers, but all three must face their past betrayals as they try to understand the truth and their roles to come in the future of the planet Lumin.
Ocularum, the follow up novel to Compendium, also available for acquisition, follows these characters and more as the ever-expanding complexity of friendship, love, and politics force them choose between each other, their families, and the values they hold dear. In a lush world where nature itself creates the electricity of technology, humanity’s reliance on the world around it cannot be greater, and the struggle to control technology is the struggle to control all life in Lumin’s fragile ecosystem.
With trouble brewing in Willowslip, the race is on to find the key. No one has accessed the Crater Grove in 10 generations. Which faction will figure it out first? Keep posted for Clavis and Shillelagh.

The target audience is any reader of science fiction or fantasy who loves to read epic adventures where the characters struggle to find a balance between the urges of humanity, the natural world around them, and the impact of technology on society.
Compendium (Artifacts of Lumin, Book 1) by Alia Luria is a one of a kind captivating story that combines incredible science fiction, adventure, drama, intrigue and suspense. Set against a post-apocalyptic background, the story portrays a planet plunged into chaos, darkness, suffering, wars and other forms of social disintegration. It combines a one of a kind plot, a fascinating setting, fresh and memorable characters and a flawless and gripping descriptive writing style capable of pulling you from this world into a new world – Lumin. It was simply amazing to see the plot come together and the story come to life through the combination of all these factors. Each chapter of the novel brought a new thrill as more of the history of Lumin was revealed and new secrets discovered; this was an adventure to look forward to. The story kept me on edge the entire time with intense anticipation of what might happen next. I cannot wait to read the next book in the Artifacts of Lumin series.” – Faridah Nassozi, Readers’ Favorite
“Wow, wow, wow. Talk about unique. This sci-fi fantasy world that Alia Luria has created in Compendium will blow your mind away with its balance between detail and breezy pleasure. There’s so much information to absorb here, but you never feel too overly burdened. And the characters could be my next door neighbors; they’re so realistic. I really feel that the planet of Lumin exists out there in the galaxy. That is a difficult thing to achieve when the author is talking about fantasy stories.
The society on this planet has its own aura to it. There are little quirks about the way people talk and interact that creates a civilization to rival Tolkien and Lewis in its detail and spread. If you have plans for the next few days, do not pick up this book. I repeat: do not start unless you are willing to read for hours on end, gripped by the racing story line and breathtaking intrigue that fills the pages. I cannot wait for the next book to come out and I hope the series continues for many more books after that. I’m bookmarking this author because I know I will fall in love with every word she writes. Wow.” – Samantha Coville, Readers’ Favorite
“It’s a freaking page-turner. Hooked right on the very first page. And it leaves you wanting the second book. I stand corrected, demanding the second book.” – Ren, Nerdy Champagne
“The world building was amazing and descriptive and I flew through the story. There are some surprising secrets revealed, which will leave you wanting more and with it’s fascinating and intriguing plot, Compendium is a must read. I, for one, am looking forward to the next book!” – Natalie, Book Lover’s Life
“I loved the post-apocalyptic background and the way the characters came to life for me. The world of Lumin became more real and I couldn’t stop reading because I just had to know what would happen next.” – Maureen, Maureen’s Books

Founded in 2015, Thea Press is an independent book publisher committed to helping nurture hidden stories and narratives to birth. We serve authors who are skilled observers and subverters of the status quo. Thea Press authors cut through what one expects to see in order to give a taste, sound, touch, and smell of the unexpected.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau.

If possible, may I please have just the digital copies? We recently moved into a condo and I had to give up either my library or my knitting space. I took the library digital and kept the yarn stash.
Thanks,

Hi Deb — thanks for the pre-order. I’m more than happy to provide digital instead of print. I can even let you have audio and ebook (both with no print), so I will reach back out to you about that before the books are ready!
Alia its a long way from law school! :-) Wishing the utmost best of success in your writing career. Cannot wait to read, love science fiction and fantasy novels.

I hope that you crush your goal.
Looking forward to reading the books.

You’re amazing and such an accomplished badass!
Alia, I’m sorry we don’t keep in touch more, but you know I love your work and I’m so stoked for you to be finishing Ocularum!
Can’t wait to read it!
Looking forward to continuation of the saga. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Alia I tried so many time to preorder your book but this website is impossible. Today I finally was successful! I am excited to read your new book. Thank you for letting me share your joy in your life, Leslie
I’m sorry you had so much trouble! I did get your pre-order, so thank you! :)
I first read Compendium about four years ago, I think as part of the Amazon Prime free reading. I loved it so much I immediately bought a Kindle copy so that it'd be mine to keep. I've been looking forward to the sequel ever since.
Good luck!
Way to go Alia!
Dear Alia,
Greetings from Jaffa!
It was very interesting to read what you've written about the decision to publish it with publishizer. Here, in Israel, many independent writers choose to pre-sell books via Headstart campaign (even when they work with traditional publishing).
I gave my address in Israel; let me know if there is a need for additional payment for international delivery.
Best wishes,
Guy Hugler
Woo! I can't wait!
Looking forward to the read 😀
