An epic new fantasy in a world of ice, fire, and magic, set on a bitterly cold place where people live below in cavernous cities that rely on geothermal energy, where power comes from binding people to the rocks and metals via life-threatening trials.

Book 1: FLAMES OF MIRA (July 2022)
Born through life-threatening trials that bind chemical elements to the human body, Ig was forged in the boiling volcanoes under Mira’s frozen lands. One of the most powerful known elementals, he serves as an enforcer for Magnate Sorrelo Adriann. Ig is blessed with great power, but cursed with a flesh binding that ties him until death to serve Sorrelo, and if he tries to disobey any one of Sorrelo’s cruel commands, the flesh binding magic will instantly kill him.
When Sorrelo is overthrown, Ig quickly learns he can do far worse than what has been asked of him so far. If he can’t escape the flesh binding in time, Ig will have to kill friend and foe alike to stop his master reclaiming the throne, or sacrifice himself trying.
“With some of the most unique and fascinating worldbuilding I’ve ever seen in a fantasy novel, Flames of Mira is a captivating read from start to finish.” – Nick Martell, author of The Two-Faced Queen
Book 2: INTO THE RIFT (Summer 2024)
After stopping the mercenary army and saving Augustin, Jakar and Efadora set their sights on Sulian Daw, where Jakar plans to hunt down the cultists who enslaved him and save the elemental children he grew up beside. But first, that will mean crossing the Rift, the most treacherous place in Ra Thuzan. Back in Mira, Ester, fledgling smith of the Foundry must track down the smith’s source of power after it goes missing. And if she fails, it will mean the death of everyone in the Foundry at the hands of the Sovereign and the child prince.
