Begin the dream. Cross the veil.
One story sung through two worlds.
Twin souls, one promise—to defy the bounds of reality.
What if the love you thought you’d lost was the only bridge between worlds?
Parting the Veils is a three-part epic fantasy that follows the adventures of twin souls striving to reunite across the Partition and reignite the fires of creation within their two estranged and dying worlds, one of which is our Earth. The books (of which “Ophia’s Sister-Soul” is the first) narrate a sweeping drama that the crucial players have chosen to participate in before their birth.
Earth and Ophia are two ends of a single breath. When one inhales, the other exhales. Through Colleen and Esperidi, the two worlds negotiate balance—logic and intuition, science and mysticism, exile and belonging. Their conversation mirrors humanity’s own: the longing to rediscover a sacred relationship with existence without losing the gifts of reason. In that dialogue lies the purpose of the myth—to remember that inner and outer, the visible and invisible, were never separate.
Esperidi’s yearning for realms beyond the Veils and Colleen’s obsession with the imaginary world she escaped to with her departed sister mirror one another. The reader feels that these women will one day reunite and, in that meeting, re-learn what it means to be whole.

Forging Spiritual Community
Much of the Parting the Veils series revolves around ideas of partnership and spiritual community. Every player in the drama contributes to unraveling the core dilemmas, and none of them can accomplish this alone. This is an epic fantasy wherein the central conflict is resolved without recourse to the usual means of violence, force, manipulation, or outwitting the enemy.
My protagonists don't possess abilities that lie beyond the reach of any of us. They're neither warriors nor savants. They're heroes of the heart.
As Esperidi makes her way through a ravaged land, she touches the hearts and souls of those with whom she comes into contact. Her very presence allows light to gain a foothold in a land where darkness has been prevalent. The story examines and aims to contradict various beliefs that are prevalent in our culture, one of the biggest being the idea that love is impotent in the face of violence and aggression.
I aim to dramatize the power of love, human potential, and trusting our inner guidance. I’m reaching for a vital living myth that refutes cultural beliefs that create a lot of collective suffering and limitation, particularly those that leave us feeling estranged from ourselves, lost, believing we need outer authorities to find our bearings.
Epic stakes. Found family.
They are each other’s missing piece. Their connection can heal them both.

Ophia’s Sister-Soul and the wider Parting the Veils saga are rooted in the conviction that, in our current era, trusting our inner guidance is crucial to navigate a world our intellect alone can no longer map. My Visionary Fiction treats dreams, intuitions, and “impossible” experiences as real forces that shape events, not as side notes to the plot. The twin souls Colleen and Esperidi begin in a pre-life ceremony where they vow to help reignite the fire of creation in two estranged worlds, one of which is our own Earth. Across the Partition, their bond becomes an illustration of the dialogue between conscious and unconscious, ego and “higher self,” waking and dreaming reality. As Esperidi trains as a Sophryne (Wakeful Dreamer) under an authoritarian Weaving that monitors every waking thought, and Colleen is told her inspiration is mental illness, both must learn to trust inner omens over external authorities. The result is epic fantasy where the real turning points come when a character alters belief, listens to inner timbre, and discovers that their world is a mirror of their own creative consciousness.
Key metaphysical elements in my work include reincarnation and pre-life planning, lucid and shared dreaming, wounded-healer initiations, channeled guidance, subtle energy fields like Sorsajna and Sacred Timbre, and a deep concern with how inner belief and myth shape collective reality.
“Ophia’s Sister-Soul (Parting the Veils) by Seth T. Mullins is a haunting and philosophically rich fantasy that traverses parallel realities, spiritual awakening, and the emotional landscape of loss. On the one side, we're with Colleen Addison, who is reeling from the death of her twin and haunted by visions of another world. On the other is Esperidi Mon-Sequana, a Dreamer in the world of Ophia, which is a place plagued by imbalance and scarred by forgotten trauma. As their narratives unfold in harmony, each woman embarks on a journey that is both internal and epic. The bond between them stretches across planes of existence, pulling them together through dreams, rituals, and grief-wrought insight.
With blood rites, fractured gods, and mythic resonance, Mullins delivers a fantasy that reads as both fable and elegy.
Author Seth T. Mullins has a real skill for transporting people into the themes and emotions of his story, and that makes the novel as much about the soul as it is about the plot. I was struck by the way Colleen's and Esperidi’s narratives mirrored and informed each other, like dream and waking reality entwining together.
The world-building is lush, textured, and full of symbolic weight, while the prose itself often borders on poetic. Rather than relying on typical fantasy tropes, Mullins elevates the genre with meditative themes about purpose, identity, and the cost of spiritual neglect.
Overall, Ophia’s Sister-Soul is an intimate, myth-infused fantasy that invites deep reflection and offers something rare in taking grief and wonder hand in hand, and I'd certainly recommend it.”
