The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1

Dragon Face on Fire

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 


The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 is the opening book in an epic dark-fantasy trilogy set in the war-torn realm of Triken, where death itself can be harnessed as magic. The story centers on Torg, a Death Wizard, whose terrifying gift allows him to die voluntarily and return stronger each time, drawing power from the agony of his own demise. He is both champion and outcast—feared for what he can do, yet desperately needed as the last real defense against a rising tide of darkness.
Across Triken, brutal armies, monstrous creatures, and powerful sorcerers battle for control. Ancient forces stir, long-buried prophecies awaken, and a malevolent foe seeks not simply to conquer, but to break the world. Torg is drawn into a brutal conflict that will test his body, mind, and moral center. His struggle isn’t just against armies and tyrants, but against a deeper, more intimate threat: a monstrous enemy intent on devouring everything—and everyone—he loves. The series blends large-scale warfare with intimate character arcs. There’s rich world-building, a complex magic system based on the mechanics of death, and a tone that moves between visceral, violent, sensual, and deeply philosophical. While the battles are intense and the stakes apocalyptic, the heart of the story explores fear of mortality, the cost of power, sacrifice, trauma, and what it really means to be alive when death is never final.

Fragments of Wrath

 Boat with Pink lights in the sky.


Twelve-hundred years ago, the Bloodmoon shattered. Now, a single, wrathful shard has fallen into Skeltryal. The Reckoning has begun. On a night that should have been like any other, a wrathful shard comes crashing into the Astern Sea, igniting a clash between those devoted to the Blood gods and the worshipers of the Celestial realms. As the wrath of the gods stir once more, Skeltryal is threatened with a war that could reshape the world into a living Abyss. Mysteries are unraveled and tensions rise between the four elemental kingdoms. Six must find their place. The astronomer, who will unravel the Blood gods’ dark ambitions; the assassin, bound to Insanity; the atheist, conflicted by belief when fables become reality; the Bloodkissed, discovering forbidden truths in the lands of the lost; the Scholar, who defies his sanctum’s laws to stop a looming war; and the Hollow, who begins a descent into darkness from which he may never return. As fate draws their paths together, each must choose where they stand in the coming storm—beneath the Bloodmoon’s wrath or against it.

The Outward Shows the Least

 Large House With Glowing Lights


The Outward Shows the Least


Some doors were never meant to be opened. 

Dr. Marcus Stavros has spent fifteen years being called a crackpot by the archaeological community. His theories about pre-Christian sites containing ancient secrets have cost him his career, his marriage, and his reputation. But when he discovers identical architectural patterns beneath Greek Orthodox monasteries across the Mediterranean, he knows he's finally found proof that will vindicate everything.

He assembles a team of damaged experts, each bearing wounds that run deep. And those wounds make them perfect vessels for something that has waited in the dark for eons.

Beneath the monastery on Kymolos, they discover a library of forbidden knowledge and a binding ritual designed to contain Erebus, the primordial darkness that predates the Greek gods themselves. The ancient seals are failing. The fragments of a shattered god are calling to the broken places in their souls. And to save the world, they must make an impossible choice: accept the paradise that darkness offers them, or become the prison walls for an entity that hungers to unmake reality itself.

The Outward Shows the Least is a psychological horror novella that explores the terrible price of obsession, the weight of trauma, and what it means to sacrifice everything, including your humanity, for a truth no one else will ever know.

For fans of cosmic horror, Greek mythology, and stories where the monsters aren't the only thing to fear.

Souls of Blackwinter (Sinbound Book 1)


Three slaves of Blackwinter wanted only freedom. To claim it, they must bleed for it.

Brothers Vael and Rhyne Rex’Vayne have known nothing but chains, their lives spent spilling blood in the pits for the pleasure of a dying throne. Beside them stands Sera, healer and lover, her light scarred but unbroken. Together they dream of escape, of leaving the sand and the lash behind.

But the Hollow King Drizak and his veiled corpse-queen Lierith see more than defiance in them. They see a vessel for power. To claim it, the heroes must be broken, not with blades, but with temptation. With sin.
All Vael, Rhyne, and Sera must do is stay true to themselves and to one another. But in Blackwinter, truth is fragile, love is a weapon, and even the purest hearts can be turned.

Sins have weight. And in a world where gods have fallen silent, even the broken may yet decide its fate.
