All Mara Shaw ever wanted was to be a physicist and use her incredible gifts to give the world a reason to hope. Constructing GRASP to harness the solar winds, Mara and her team find themselves on the cusp of a breakthrough in free energy—enough to power the world forever. Yet Mara got more than she ever expected, opening a doorway to an unfathomable mystery and answering the most fundamental questions in human history. Are we alone? Is this existence all there is, and what is the price of free energy?
THE WELL OF SOULS
Once upon a time, the world changed forever...
Exploring the Intersection of Science, Spirituality, and Romance in Modern Sci-Fi Literature
The genre of science fiction has always been a space to explore futuristic technology, galactic conquests, and revolutionary ideas. Yet, more recently, authors have begun to blend science fiction with themes that are traditionally more metaphysical—spirituality, the nature of the soul, and even romance. One such novel, The Well of Souls by M.D. Chevalier, does this beautifully. In this blog post, we’ll explore how modern science fiction is pushing boundaries by combining cutting-edge science, spiritual inquiries, and romantic relationships to create narratives that are richer and more thought-provoking than ever before.
Why Modern Science Fiction Needs Romance and Spiritual Themes
The inclusion of romance and spirituality in science fiction is a reflection of what the genre has always been—a mirror held up to our hopes, fears, and desires for the future. Today, as we stand on the brink of monumental changes, both in terms of technology and our understanding of what makes us human, stories like The Well of Souls are vital.

My inspiration for The Well of Souls came from a deep desire to see our species progress. To see us live and work together to make the world a better place. And from that I asked myself. What would happen if someone found the solution to free and renewable energy? Would we see acceptance or aggression? And how would our institutions react?
The Well of Souls is a science fiction novel with elements of mystery, mysticism, political intrigue, and murder. I wanted to write a classical science fiction story. A novel where you not only identify with the characters, but care about what happens to them during their journey through a magnificent, dark, and dangerous world.
