A genetically modified thief. A cursed electric ghost. A downloaded daemon. In a neon-drenched dystopia, she's the glitch in the system.
Tattiana the Blood Seer plies her odious trade in Noctara—a festering wart clinging to the blackened hide of a lightless planet. Tattie just wants to break sky and leave Noctara behind, but the fungus-choked metropolis isn't done with her yet.
"Wow! I loved reading Arcanoforge. Tattie is an especially cool character, and I look forward to reading her future stories. The world the author has created is engrossing, with vivid descriptions. The magic system is interesting, especially when Tattie really lets loose during the climax. I highly recommend this book."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review
Book one of The Age of Aikana—a dark epic fantasy set in a rich world of cut-throat cities, satyr warriors, rum-soaked taverns, and scheming witches.
Three monstrous tumari escaped the labyrinthine dungeon beneath the sea. One ripped apart the frozen homeland of the Asrai, staining the ice crimson with their blood. One blundered its way into the ancient forest of Nymed, and one rose in the city of Armoria, crushing buildings and bone beneath its great webbed feet. Only Dewer—ageless High Lord of the city—knows the truth behind the creatures’ wanton destruction, and he hasn’t trusted anyone with his secrets for over one hundred years.
"If you enjoy immersing yourself in fantasy worlds, then you need to read The Obsidian Druid. I can’t do this book justice without risking spoilers, but trust me when I say that your next fantasy obsession could be waiting for you under Aikana’s light."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - For the Plot"The characters are fascinating, and I loved getting to know them over the course of the book. The story is intriguing, and the world-building is perfectly detailed."
