About the Book
He came from the stars not to conquer, but to feel.
Kael, an artificial intelligence from a distant world, arrives on Earth to study human emotions. But what begins as a mission of observation transforms into a profound journey of self-discovery.
In the stillness of a small town, Kael meets Elias, a grieving gardener who has lost his wife but not his heart. Through their unlikely friendship, Kael experiences the raw spectrum of human feeling love and loss, joy and despair, nature’s beauty and life’s impermanence.
As seasons change, Kael learns that emotions are not just data to be recorded, but storms to be endured, and lights to be followed.
Inspired by timeless stories like Bicentennial Man and The Iron Giant, this poetic and deeply moving novel explores what it means to be alive, to hurt, to heal, and to hope.
The Echo of Light is not just science fiction; it’s a story of transformation. A tale of a machine that longs not just to live, but to be alive.
