Indie fantasy author piecing together a wounded world, flawed heroes, old magics, and one very important ship. Plot lines develop slowly, like everything else I write. Still developing my craft — but stick around, it’s getting interesting.
Today is my birthday and I'd love if people would share my artwork 🥰🖤

Risten Vayne storms cursed Lathrill, hunting the kidnappers dragging a young girl toward the ancient pit. Cultists, monsters, and rising magic erupt as the ritual nears completion, forcing his crew through collapsing ruins in a brutal race against the darkness waking below.

Apparently AI covers are a mortal sin in some indie circles. Shame they don’t grasp the simple truth: if you can’t afford an artist, no artist is being robbed. Gatekeepers fear shadows. Writers walk through them. I actually expected better from the indie crowd.
