Description: [edit] [history]

In a prosperous world, ruled by great kings and powerful mages, a danger lurks beyond the veil. From there come monsters, long ago called demons. They prepare to strike, believing themselves unmatched, for the ancient warnings were forgotten a millennia ago.

The shadows grow, and Jonas Espian stands as a misfit.

He is distrusted by his peers because of the magical gifts that he has wasted, and he isolates himself because of the grim curse he must bear. Only Florencia, his childhood friend, and secret love, is the one constant in his life that seems wasted and dull. But after a long-anticipated night of passion, a terrible tragedy strikes, and their lives fall apart.

Then, as years pass, the Enemy advances, and the world around Jonas and Florencia deteriorates. Slowly, a terrible truth emerges--this may only be the beginning.

Hiskandrios Genesis, book 1, is finished. Over 250k words published. Hiskandrios Genesis is the first book in my ambitious series called The Dark Age of Magic.

It is a First Person POV fantasy story, with some grimdark elements, about a tragic man who must bare the weight of responsibility he never wanted and become a demon hunter. The setting is the fantasy world I created over 20 years ago.

In this story, you can expect an extensive list of characters, some of whom has a large role to play, while other fade into irrelevancy. It is taking place in a well-crafted and intricate world, full of varied interests and conflicting ideas. Add to that dark conspiracies, coupled with romantic entanglements, featuring royalty, powerful wizards, noble knights, along with graphic violence here and there.

I've also sprinkled in subtle hints for some nice payoffs for those who pay attention.

A word of caution, though. Don't expect a quick ride - this is a slow burn, a story that takes time to develop. There's no single enemy to defeat but a huge overarching foe and woven into the large narrative are many smaller conflicts which the characters must overcome.

I also like to change my cover image a lot, so beware.
