Welcome to The Sundered Realms

By the Weight of Blood, the final book of The Reckoning trilogy, is coming soon!

Millennia ago, a war was fought between fae — those who hungered for the magic inherent in humanity’s blood and souls, and those who recognized that hunger for the evil it was. 

The hungry lost. But so, too, the victors. 

Because the cost of that victory was the sundering of worlds, magic that consumes life itself and a curse upon Azar’s line. 

And a Promise.

These are the stories that echo from long ago and shape those we tell today. Of heroes. Of villains. And of those simply trying to survive.

  • Whispers from the Realms: Offerings
    Whispers of the Realms are fragments—moments caught and carried from across the Sundered Realms. They are not full stories, but glimpses. Echoes of lives lived under the weight of magic, memory and choice. Some are quiet. Some are sharp. All of them belong to the world beyond the page.

  • Randomness
    Cleaning out an old notebook and ran across this gem: “My enemies are worms, cool days and most of all woodchucks.” I have no idea what that’s from. If it’s a quote from someone, please tell me, because I need more. Beware the woodchucks! 🤣
