Tenebris: The Unholy Darkness

A new take on the story of creation -- it's everything you thought you knew... but nothing like it at all.

Sectoraus saw his entire race nearly perish, before a seemingly divine being descended with the first rains and saved his people. Thandrua was worshiped as the Life-Bringer from the moment he first became conscious. Together, the two must weather the chaos of a rapidly changing landscape and bring the Serpenoids to a new world, their promised land.

However, their paradise may not be what it seems, and these trials are just the beginning for Sectoraus,leader of the Serpenoids and Lord Thandrua, Lifegiver of the Serpenoids. As they build a new life for their people and develop a new culture, everything they know is thrown into question when a stranger appears among them. Now they must wrestle with the realization that they are not the only ones in their promised land as their world is changed once again.

Tenebris: The Unholy Quest

The time has come to forge what has been mined…

The false deity has fallen. Lord Thandrua's dominion was overthrown following the slave revolt spearheaded by Lucifer. Now, the self-appointed Dark Lord reveals his wicked lust for power as he sends Lilith, general of his dark army, to expand his influence across Geom. Devastation lies in their wake as nothing is left unscathed.

Sectoraus finds himself on a redemptive quest to rescue Lord Thandrua and liberate his people from suffering. He proved his valor, saving his Cobra brother Solaris and the young Aviaan, Wakia, from the Arania's venomous grasp. Sectoraus must guide the trio through the unforgiving lands towards the last thread of hope: an alliance with the formidable Krocdylius warriors.

But as the dangerous wilds of Geom threaten Sectoraus' progress, his explorations yet again lead him to stunning new revelations.

With Teeth: A dark fiction anthology benefiting the Lakota wolf preserve

Hungry shadows stalk the tree line. They slip from fable to nightmare… only to bare their teeth where you least expect them.

Wolves have always lived in our stories—at the edge of firelight, in cautionary tales, and in the blood-soaked myths we never stopped telling. With Teeth drags them into the heart of fiction. Sometimes they are predator. Sometimes prey. And sometimes, the monster lurking within ourselves. Each story gnaws at themes of grief, survival, and transformation, blurring the fragile line between human and beast.

Beyond the page, the wolves are real. And their future depends on us. Proceeds from this anthology support the Lakota Wolf Preserve, ensuring real wolves continue to thrive even as their legends haunt our imaginations.

These stories have teeth.
