The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1

Dragon Face on Fire

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 


The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 is the opening book in an epic dark-fantasy trilogy set in the war-torn realm of Triken, where death itself can be harnessed as magic. The story centers on Torg, a Death Wizard, whose terrifying gift allows him to die voluntarily and return stronger each time, drawing power from the agony of his own demise. He is both champion and outcast—feared for what he can do, yet desperately needed as the last real defense against a rising tide of darkness.
Across Triken, brutal armies, monstrous creatures, and powerful sorcerers battle for control. Ancient forces stir, long-buried prophecies awaken, and a malevolent foe seeks not simply to conquer, but to break the world. Torg is drawn into a brutal conflict that will test his body, mind, and moral center. His struggle isn’t just against armies and tyrants, but against a deeper, more intimate threat: a monstrous enemy intent on devouring everything—and everyone—he loves. The series blends large-scale warfare with intimate character arcs. There’s rich world-building, a complex magic system based on the mechanics of death, and a tone that moves between visceral, violent, sensual, and deeply philosophical. While the battles are intense and the stakes apocalyptic, the heart of the story explores fear of mortality, the cost of power, sacrifice, trauma, and what it really means to be alive when death is never final.

MORIARTY: The Napoleon of Crime

Three Sleuths standing together.


MORIARTY: The Napoleon of Crime


“The Napoleon of Crime left behind one final puzzle: his own story.” MORIARTY unveils the Victorian underworld through the eyes of Holmes’s greatest adversary. After Reichenbach, Holmes discovers the Professor’s private journal in a discarded coat—a manifesto that confirms his darkest suspicions while revealing depths he never imagined.

In these recovered pages, a mathematical prodigy becomes London’s shadow emperor: equations turn to weapons, chess to choreography, and the grimy streets of 1890s London become his laboratory. Through Moriarty’s own words, we witness genius weaponised—discipline, strategy, and the cold precision that built an empire. Yet one mystery haunts every page: why would a man who ruled from the shadows risk everything in hand-to-hand combat above the chasm at the Reichenbach Falls?
Canon-faithful, meticulously researched, and psychologically razor-sharp, MORIARTY confronts the riddles that have intrigued readers for generations—including the enigma of Colonel James Moriarty, who defended the Professor’s name. This atmospheric Victorian noir stands alone as Book One of The Victorian Moriarty Saga.
Perfect for readers of historical thrillers and the dark psychology of criminal genius.

MORIARTY is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle. Audiobook is coming soon—visit moriartybook.com to be notified the moment it's available

Under Fluorescent Lights

  Sillohette of woman in front of a city out the window.


Under Fluorescent Lights


In the glossy world of corporate ambition, the real game is played behind closed doors… and someone is always watching.

At Valor & Watts, a global consulting firm with offices in Madrid and London, success is measured in strategy decks, whispered alliances, and perfectly timed betrayals. Into this world steps the French girl. She is elegant, ambitious, and disturbingly unreadable. From the moment she arrives, rumors follow her: Why Madrid? Why now? And what is she really after?

As she rises through the ranks, she navigates icy colleagues, corporate politics, and a dangerously magnetic connection with Jack, a married British manager who knows how to play the game... and how to break the rules.

But under the fluorescent lights, secrets fester. A missed client meeting. A forbidden romance. An anonymous email that changes everything. As her carefully curated image begins to crack, the question becomes not just how far she’ll go... but who’s already plotting her downfall.

Tense, addictive, and razor-sharp, Under Fluorescent Lights is a scandal-filled tale of ambition, betrayal, and the high cost of being seen.

Article Five: A World War Three Novel

 Military Man with Helicopters in Back


Article Five: A World War Three Novel


It was supposed to be a fool proof plan… Until the world caught fire.

When a newly elected U.S. President abandons NATO, Russia seizes the opportunity to strike, launching a full-scale invasion of Estonia. As Europe stands alone, British forces scramble to hold the line against an unstoppable enemy.

In London, MI6 operative John Rafferty hunts a Russian defector—until a sleeper agent turns the streets into a war zone. At sea, Commander Anderson of HMS Daring fights to keep critical supply routes open as Russian warships close in. On the frontlines, Sergeant Johnson and his tank crew face overwhelming odds in a desperate battle for survival. And in the shadows, a traitor at the highest level is pulling the strings, tipping the balance of war.

From the corridors of power to the heart of the battlefield, Article Five is a pulse-pounding geopolitical thriller where loyalty is fragile, alliances are crumbling, and the world is one misstep away from global catastrophe.

Will NATO’s most sacred principle—Article Five—hold? Or has the first domino of World War Three just fallen?

Fans of Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney, and Frederick Forsyth won’t be able to put down this gripping, high-stakes military thriller.

The Silent Witness : A Trial Against Power


A locked room. A dead senator. A city trembling in silence.

In a city ruled by power and secrets, the truth doesn’t just hide — it is hunted. Senator James Harding is found dead in his private office. No prints. No note. No way in, or out. It should’ve ended there.
But it didn’t.
Prosecutor Emma Carter isn’t one to back down. Fierce, brilliant, and unshakably loyal to justice, she takes on the case that could end her career or expose everything. Her only lead? A man who hasn’t spoken a word in three years.
Jonah Reeve was once a fearless investigative journalist. Until the night a car left him broken and voiceless. But silence doesn’t mean surrender. Jonah remembers. And now, through trembling hands and American Sign Language, he’s ready to tell the story they tried to bury. As Emma and Jonah unravel a trail of hidden files, whispered threats, and buried witnesses, they discover something more dangerous than a murder: a conspiracy stretching into the highest offices of justice itself.
But some people don’t want the truth uncovered. And they’re willing to kill — again — to keep it quiet.
A silent witness. A fearless prosecutor. A city on the edge.

Shard Awakening

    Two people in Sand dune with red eyes in the distance


Shard Awakening


A galaxy on the brink of war. Newborn twins enter the universe carrying something no one fully understands: the Shard, an ancient alien intelligence long mistaken for a disease. It is not a sickness. It is a power. A weapon. A sentient force that has waited nearly ninety thousand years to awaken again. The moment the twins take their first breath, everything changes. The hunt begins. The Federation unleashes its full strength, willing to burn entire worlds to seize what the children carry in their blood. To their pursuers, the twins are not children at all. They are strategic assets — the key to winning a war that has smoldered for generations, and the means to unlock an ancient evil force capable of consuming everything. With nowhere left to run, the family makes one final gamble. Their only chance of survival lies on Earth, a planet erased from all official galactic records and believed lost for centuries. But Earth is no sanctuary. Beneath its surface, something older than civilization is stirring, a dormant and ravenous presence waiting to rise again. As the twins grow, their abilities become increasingly difficult to hide. Their only hope lies with a sworn Protector and a sarcastic AI whose motives are as mysterious as the Shard itself. The twins are not merely the key to survival. They are the spark of a future that could save the galaxy… or end it forever.

Fragments of Wrath

  Boat with Pink lights in the sky.


Twelve-hundred years ago, the Bloodmoon shattered. Now, a single, wrathful shard has fallen into Skeltryal. The Reckoning has begun. On a night that should have been like any other, a wrathful shard comes crashing into the Astern Sea, igniting a clash between those devoted to the Blood gods and the worshipers of the Celestial realms. As the wrath of the gods stir once more, Skeltryal is threatened with a war that could reshape the world into a living Abyss. Mysteries are unraveled and tensions rise between the four elemental kingdoms. Six must find their place. The astronomer, who will unravel the Blood gods’ dark ambitions; the assassin, bound to Insanity; the atheist, conflicted by belief when fables become reality; the Bloodkissed, discovering forbidden truths in the lands of the lost; the Scholar, who defies his sanctum’s laws to stop a looming war; and the Hollow, who begins a descent into darkness from which he may never return. As fate draws their paths together, each must choose where they stand in the coming storm—beneath the Bloodmoon’s wrath or against it.
