A Foreigner in the Place Unburned
A character-driven dark fantasy of grief, found family, and a forest that remembers. For readers of lyrical, intimate epics.
Adam arrives in Thalarelle carrying nothing but ash. The forest keeps him anyway — in root-lit chambers, behind doors that hold rather than close, among strangers who choose each other like kin. But the forest remembers everything, and so must he.
The Judgement Archives
Testimonies of the Last War
Twelve voices speak from the far side of Armageddon. Eleven refused the same truth — in different languages, for different reasons. One was given a commission instead of a question. A work of literary apocalyptic fiction, precise and deeply human.
