Sequel to The Night of Shadows

The Scholar's Tomb

The Silence is breaking.

Centuries of peace have come to an abrupt end. The world revolts, the Silencers cling desperately to power, and the Abyss still whispers in the mountains. Amidst it all, one man is tasked with the impossible: Find the Great Scholar’s tomb and recover the Way of the Deep.

Jacob, survivor of the Night of Shadows and servant of the Deep, must embark on a perilous journey to Mount Collabria. There, he will encounter hostile allies, untrustworthy friends, and an enemy older than civilization itself. As rival factions race for the Tomb, Jacob has only weeks before they find it or a deadly illness claims his life.

The cure hangs in the balance, but Jacob’s survival could spell the ruin of all civilization. As he fights against darkness, light, and everything between, he must place his trust in villains and tyrants; that trust will either save or destroy him.

A story from across the Stone Sea

Shards of the Fallen

Light from darkness. Fire from ash. Glory from shadows.

When an ancient power awakens in the far reaches of the Thaeloran Empire, a young noble named Edwin Lystone is thrust into chaos. Torn between his father, his friends, and a horrifying magic, he has little time to unravel the truth before it destroys him

The dead speak. Storms shatter the night. Demons walk beneath the shrouded moon. As foreign myths blur into reality and his lies catch up to him, Edwin must challenge everything he believes and face his true identity.

Is he the worthy son of a noble household, tasked to restore his father’s good name? Is he a loyal fighter who stands beside the greatest monster hunter of all time? Or is he the inheritor of powers more ancient than legend, doomed to perish in the thralls of fear itself?

No matter his decision, he will suffer greatly for it.
