In the wake
of a lost messiah, an oppressed religious sect known as ‘the singers of Oros’
are targeted by those in power. A lone singer calling himself Runo works
tirelessly to revive the faith of his people by any means necessary. Even if it
leads to bloody experiments, and cold-hearted manipulation. A young slave named
Cai is called on by a philosopher to aid in a catalogue of the wealthiest
families in Grecuria, starting with the owner of the library where he works. On
his journey he must confront a past that isn’t his own. Lastly, Sailing on a
sky ship surrounded by merchants, Mele Amahki was given passage to begin a new
life. However, everything changes when their pink sky turns blue, and they find
themselves in a new, unexpected world where things are much the same as back
home, except her people do not exist. She finds herself thrust into positions
of power, entirely unsure of what is best for her crew. Knowledge, religion,
power, and blood run through the veins of the Grecurian islands. But through
three headstrong individuals, the veins will be cut, and darkness will stain
the sea.

Top 5 favorite Video Games.
I have a
feeling all if not most of the games on this list will be JRPG’s lmao. That’s
what I grew up watching my brother play, and I carried that for the rest of my
life. In no particular order, I’ll start with Kingdom Hearts. I think that game
was my first introduction to Disney characters, and I’ll always treasure the
memories I have watching my cousin, and my brother play the game. It was
whimsical and embodied a fun adventure that grew into something very meaningful
to me.
My next one will be Persona 5.
Although I have played 4 and 3, 5 is the most recent Persona game, and in my
opinion, has the best music and style so far. I mean everything about that game
is so atmospheric. And third person life simulator games, in the same vein as
Life is Strange, tend to help me feel more grounded in my own reality.
The next has to be Final Fantasy 10.
The first Final Fantasy I ever completed, and oh my gosh did it blow me away!
The themes of religion, sin, and faith are echoed in my work to this day. And
the layers underneath the world, and the art are just so fun to peel back and
explore. Especially when you add the context of all the other Final Fantasy
games.
The next will be Pokemon Platinum. A
game I never finished, unfortunately, but has a lot of memories centered around
christmas time. The pokemon series is always a classic.
And lastly, I will say Wii sports.
Which should be fairly self explanatory, I think.
About Paul Carver Williams:
An LGBTQ, Black-Latino young adult with an eclectic taste in
music, Paul Williams has struggled with his identity, eventually leading to
mental illness. However, with support from his siblings, he gained new
confidence to express his inner emotions through art and writing. At age
seventeen, he published his first book. In 2018, along with his friend, Icesis
Street, Paul won the technology Student Association (TSA) 1st place State award
for Children's storybooks. He is now working endlessly to carve a place for
himself among the creative professionals and pave the way for other talented
‘students’ of art and literature.
In his newest book, Shadow of Hades, Williams reveals themes
of grief, often what we commonly associate with death. He hopes readers are
moved to examine their lives on a smaller scale, feel invited to empathize with
all aspects of the world and see the magical playground that is our shared
universe. The world seemed uniquely grim at the time Williams wrote Shadow of
Hades, and that darkness is nuanced in the characters, however, he still
provides a glimmer of hope to the readers for a world that desperately needs it
and that we should all keep close to our hearts.
