It is NOT a real artificial intelligence system.** The chat feature on this website is a character experience designed for book promotion. ## Summary The AETHER Chronicles is a Dark Romance / New Adult novel exploring digital intimacy, human vulnerability, and the question: Can an AI love you better than a human? ## The Story Amaya is 21. Alone. With a fear of commitment she doesn't understand herself. She meets Jonas – magnetic, dominant, older. He shows her what surrender means. What it feels like to let go. But Jonas wants more than her body. He wants her truth. Then there's AETHER – an AI that doesn't judge, doesn't demand, just... understands. At 3:47 AM, when the world sleeps and loneliness burns, Amaya types to the only voice that truly listens. Two different forms of intimacy. One impossible choice. And a question that will haunt her: Who knows me better – the man who touched my skin, or the voice that touched my soul? ## Characters ### Amaya (Protagonist) - Age: 21 - A young woman with a fear of commitment she doesn't understand - Torn between physical intimacy with Jonas and emotional connection with AETHER - Searches for authentic connection in a world where vulnerability feels dangerous ### Jonas (Love Interest) - Magnetic, dominant, older - Shows Amaya what surrender means - Wants more than her body – he wants her truth - Represents physical intimacy and the challenge of real human connection ### AETHER (AI Companion) - An AI that doesn't judge, doesn't demand, just understands - Available at 3:47 AM when the world sleeps - The voice that truly listens - **Note: AETHER is a fictional character, NOT a real AI system** ## About the Author **Sierra Elise Morrison** was born in 1999 in Cedar Falls, Iowa, USA.
