Witchborn
Book One of the Witchborn Saga
by Brandon "Dimentox Travanti" Husbands

In a universe collapsing under the weight of its own broken timelines, Afewi-designation 013-awakens in the aftermath of a failed mission. Her team is gone. The ship is haunted. The artifact embedded in her chest is humming like it remembers more than she does.

She is Witchborn. A clone. A tool of war. But something has changed.

Sent from a corrupted Monastery-class warship, Afewi and a crew of misfit operatives are deployed into reality-shredding missions known as "shards." There are no respawns. No second chances. Every death means a new clone-each one less stable than the last.

As Afewi fights to survive and remember who she was before the loops began, she uncovers a larger threat: a forgotten truth buried in the blood-soaked circuits of the artifact itself-and a force watching her from behind the veil of time.

Alongside a rogue vampire, a cybernetic angel, a crab-wielding swampborn, a talking warhammer, and a ship with emotional issues, Afewi must decide whether to break the loop-or become its final echo.

Witchborn is a dark, character-driven science fantasy about recursion, identity, and survival at the edge of annihilation. For readers who love gritty space operas, twisted timelines, and found families forged in fire.
