The Madness of Chartrulean

The Madness of Chartrulean

Imagine that the next messiah doesn’t come from religion, but from the tech world. Are his choices destined to save humanity—or doom it? After ending a war, Chartrulean rises to power and ushers in a new technological era, rekindling hope while deepening political divides. As his influence grows, he grapples with identity, leadership, and the weight of his relationships. The Madness of Chartrulean is a character-driven sci-fi epic for fans of Dune, Foundation, and Game of Thrones. Blending political drama, Shakespearean tragedy, and mythic futurism, it explores the moral ambiguities of power, and the hidden dangers of progress.
