About this ebook

Geneticist Jianna Makinde grew up in the shadow of her famous ancestor, Samara, who saved DaVinci’s colonists from extinction by the fungal Bloom. But Samara’s cure had off-target effects that plague every DaVincian: migraines, seizures, paralysis, and worse. Jianna dreams of fixing Samara’s mistakes, but the Council refuses to fund her latest research proposal, thanks to the fearmongering of Guide Willow Evans, head of the Naturalist church. Worse, if anyone discovers she’s secretly dating Michelangelo, son of a disgraced geneticist, her father will lose his Council seat. 

Shortly after a catastrophic radiation storm wipes out the city’s power grid, a ship appears in orbit, captained by a cyborg who claims to be Aurelius Hofstadter—the eccentric genius billionaire who built the ships that saved humanity from a dying Earth. Aurelius becomes the city’s savior, repairing their infrastructure with mysterious advanced technology and his crew of silent cyborgs. 

Aurelius wants to free Jianna’s intellect: he gives her a lab on his ship and encourages her to break rules like Samara once did. But when he takes Michelangelo as his apprentice, offering unlimited access to forbidden knowledge—robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum mechanics—Jianna fears Michelangelo is dabbling with dangerous technologies that could cost his career, his freedom, even his life. 

As Aurelius tightens his grip on the city’s infrastructure and makes himself indispensable to the desperate Council, Jianna begins to suspect his generosity hides a darker agenda, and Naturalist Guide Evans is the only Council member still standing against him. As ancient secrets surface and factions splinter around faith and fact, Jianna must discover what the immortal billionaire really wants before it’s too late. 

For fans of The Martian, Seveneves, and Raised by Wolves, Divine Blueprint is part one of a mind-bending finale about legacy, faith, and the peril of playing god.

About the author

Titus is a scientist, strategist, and storyteller working at the edge of technology, where humanity itself is the experiment. Through his novels, he explores how science reshapes not only our tools, but our values, choices, and future as a species. His career spans biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and global innovation, giving his fiction both authenticity and urgency. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Maggie, where he writes, builds, and ventures into the wild.

Sean Platt has always been an entrepreneur, but stories were the business he was born to build.

When his wife bought him a laptop for his birthday in 2007, he dropped everything to write fiction.

After a short stint as creative director at a marketing agency — where he learned the kind of copywriting that could turn cliffhangers into an art — Sean wrote hundreds of novels (including international bestsellers), penned Hollywood scripts, and founded Sterling & Stone, an IP incubator where more than two dozen writers turn wild ideas into world-changing stories.

Originally from Long Beach, California, Sean now lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Cindy, and their dog, Fisher — both of whom remind him that real life makes the best stories.
