The Essence Wave series is Chris Vines’s science fiction work, running alongside his longer Elemental Gatherers fantasy series. Mana Daemons (2020) opens the trilogy, followed by Energy Barons (2022) and World Portal (2025).
The series explores the intersection of magical energy and technology, offering a different flavor from the pure fantasy setting of Elemental Gatherers. The trilogy format allows Vines to tell a more focused, self-contained story while still building out his distinctive approach to magic systems and world-building.
