Science, Magic, And Myth Collide In The SonaRift Saga Book One: The Blood Of The Forgotten By Rowleic

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, in Rowleic’s debut novel, The SonaRift Saga: Book One – The Blood of the Forgotten, a scientist’s failed experiment strands him in a hidden vampire empire where his connection to a fierce farm girl reveals secrets capable of sparking an interdimensional war.

In a genre often dominated by familiar tropes, a fresh and ambitious voice has emerged from the UK. Rowleic, an author, designer, and multidisciplinary storyteller, has launched The SonaRift Saga with its gripping first installment, The Blood of the Forgotten. This opening volume promises an epic multi-realm adventure that masterfully blends science fiction, dark fantasy, and mythic storytelling into a seamless and immersive experience.

A Creator Built for Epic Worlds

Rowleic brings more than just writing talent to the table. As a designer, artist, and conceptual creator, he approaches storytelling with a cinematic eye and deep emotional intelligence. His work spans writing, visual art, music, and even physical creations such as jewellery, all designed to expand and enrich the universe he has built. The Blood of the Forgotten is not merely a book — it is the gateway to a fully realised world that readers are invited to inhabit beyond the page through an accompanying interactive website.

This holistic approach to world-building gives The SonaRift Saga a rare sense of depth and texture. From the very first pages, the story feels lived-in, vast, and dangerously alive.

When Worlds Collide: The Story Begins

Orion is a brilliant but reckless scientist whose groundbreaking experiment with sound and resonance technology tears open a rift in reality. Instead of a controlled test, he finds himself violently pulled through dimensions, crash-landing injured and alone in a world that defies everything he understands.

He has entered the realm of the Velari — an ancient, powerful vampire-like race bound by blood, rigid tradition, and centuries of carefully guarded silence. In their empire, humans are little more than forgotten myths, possibly extinct. Orion’s sudden arrival acts as a dangerous catalyst, threatening to destabilise an already tense society.

Found wounded near the borders of her family farm, Orion is discovered by Amaris Black Rose, a young farm girl and reluctant warrior. Haunted by past conflicts and driven by fierce loyalty, Amaris takes him in, mistaking him at first for one of her own people. As she helps him hide and recover, an unexpected bond begins to form between them — one that carries both emotional tenderness and rising danger.

Secrets Buried in Blood and Time

As rebellion simmers in the shadows and the Emperor tightens his control, Orion and Amaris are drawn deeper into a web of ancient lies. Together they uncover long-buried truths about the connection between humans and the Velari, secrets involving blood bonds, shared history, and forbidden power. What they discover has the potential to unravel the very foundations of the Velari empire.Yet the greatest threat may not lie within this world at all. The rifts Orion has opened suggest that other forces — and perhaps other travellers — could soon cross between realities. The question lingers: was Orion truly the first to cross over… and will he be the last?

At its heart, The Blood of the Forgotten explores themes of love, loyalty, awakening power, and the fragile line between fate and choice. Once the rifts begin to tear open, the consequences cannot be undone.

An Immersive Universe Beyond the Book

What sets The SonaRift Saga apart is the sheer scale of its ambition. Rowleic has created far more than a single narrative. The accompanying website serves as a rich companion, offering visual art, music, lore expansions, and even thematic jewellery that allow fans to engage with the world on multiple sensory levels.

Early readers have already praised the novel’s emotional intensity, intricate world-building, passionate character relationships, and sweeping scope. Many are eagerly anticipating the next volumes in the series.

A Promising Start to Something Extraordinary

The Blood of the Forgotten establishes The SonaRift Saga as a bold new contender in epic fantasy. By weaving hard science and resonant technology with dark lore, vampire mythology, rebellion, and tender human (and not-so-human) connections, Rowleic has crafted a story that feels both intellectually ambitious and emotionally resonant.

For readers who crave immersive worlds where nothing stays buried and every choice sends ripples across realities, this series offers a powerful and unforgettable journey. The Blood of the Forgotten is only the beginning — and if the first book is any indication, the rifts are just starting to open.

The SonaRift Saga: Book One – The Blood of the Forgotten is now available, with further installments and expanded universe content to follow.
