FANTASY/ACTION/ADVENTURE  |  COMING 2024

When hard-edged green-thumb Reiuk arrives in the jungles of Taen Lua to save a rare and precious flower from extinction, he finds the outpost a timely opportunity to escape the city, its sea of people, and the life he hates, to boot.

In this far flung tangle, the air steams and ruins lie awaiting discovery. The inhabitants have long since fallen out of memory and his chances of having to talk with anyone are slim — until a sabotaged boat and a murder change that...

Cut off from the world, Reiuk, along with the snap-witted journalist Kindri and the unlikely, distant archaeologist Teth will have to keep together and survive — before the jungle's secrets devour them whole...

THIS EMERALD CRUCIBLE is a PART ONE of a two-shot story, set in the world of Aliru.

THE BINDING OF SILTARI

FANTASY  |  IN-PROGRESS

The Storn have controlled every aspect of life for over a thousand cycles, the past and the outside are forbidden topics, and even mentioning the mythical, ancient force known as 'nathri' is punishable with subduction or death.

Awoken and raised in the colossal, stone citadels known as 'Velar', the Storn's acolytes and adherents, the higher mediaries, and even the lofty auscultos live to serve. Their work, their dedication to the Beings, and gratitude to the Preservers are sacred. And nobody would dare question, otherwise.

Unless they stumbled upon a hidden place with a powerful and dangerous secret, that is.

THE BINDING OF SILTARI is the first book in a series.
