Current Status of Aethernea
Aethernea is currently on temporary hiatus due to the financial difficulties of its author resulting in a complete lack of free time to write Aethernea.
Aethernea is not abandoned and Cloe intends to come back to write it as soon as her personal life situation improves enough to allow her to actually have any free time. However, the improvement is very slow and it is unknown when exactly it will happen. Judging by the backlog of work Cloe has to do, even if she wins the lottery tomorrow, she won’t be able to come back writing before 2026. In the worst case scenario (that is very unlikely to happen), she will come back to write it in her retirement when she no longer needs to be a full-time worker and full-time housewife at the same time.

What others say about AETHERNEA
-
I read Aethernea on a recommendation of a friend and ended up loving it! I love the theme and the flow of the story. The writing is fluid, interesting and composition of sentences is very juicy. The descriptions give a beautiful movie like visualization and pay attention to details. (e.g. specks of light in character’s eyes) I am looking forward to reading more.

Aethernea is immediately gripping and characters are very relatable. The story builds up at a really nice pace and quickly gives main characters a lot of emotional depth. I am super hooked and excited to see what happens next!

I fell in love with Aethernea from the very first chapter. The characters are well defined and make you immediately feel for them. The dialogue is witty and made me laugh out loud too many times to count. (Seriously, Kiel and Elaru could literally talk about the weather and it would still be interesting to read! They don’t though – I have yet to see a single pointless dialogue.)
I am amazed how the author manages to explain the theory of magic to such a degree you really feel like you are a part of the world.
Go read this while it’s still free! I doubt it will stay free forever cause it’s just too good to be free.”

Aethernea had me glued to the page since the first sentence. Before I realised what happened I had devoured greedily all available episodes and was impatiently biting my nails waiting for the next one.

The Story
In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment,
Kiel is a “non-mage” – a person who doesn’t have the aptitude to use magic on a regular basis – until he meets Elaru – a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled ‘Aethernea of Sight’ – eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen.
Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise.
Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink – a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea – the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races?
In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood-curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying.
And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn’t difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps.
A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world.
