In Grimoires & Gunsmoke, fantasy collides with the modern world in an epic struggle for power and survival. An emperor born from divinity and a dragon, holds aspirations for his own ascension into godhood. In a twisted act of ambition, the emperor orchestrates a deceitful pact with a devil, setting in motion a quest to harness unclaimed souls from another realm. His pathway to divine ascent takes an unexpected turn when a rift opens up in Ohio, bringing him face-to-face with a resilient human community unprepared to bow to a new deity. As magic clashes with machinery in the skies and fields of Ohio, alliances are tested, friendships forged, and the true cost of ambition laid bare. Witness a battle where the fate of worlds hangs in the balance. Will the emperor's ruthless quest for power triumph, or will the unrelenting machines of humanity prevail?

Everyone sees colors normally... except me. When people are angry, when they lie, when they mean harm... I see red. Threads, shadows, and eyes watching me from places that shouldn't be there. I thought my ability was just a curse, until the city began to change, and people disappeared one by one, as if something was awakening beneath it. And the closer I got to the truth... the red began to engulf me too.

A samurai promising his sister he'll return. A hundred elite soldiers marching north with him. A fenwulf knight without family or past. Only the republic that made her, and her will to die for it. The empire's perfect blade, and it's emptiest man. A warlord's daughter marching beneath a banner she doesn't trust. The most promising mind in the Magisterium, carrying a message that could end the world. An epic told through five eyes as a continent goes to war, and a centuries-old truth begins to surface beneath it all. This multi-POV fantasy story is written in style of Game of Thrones, featuring imperial legions, samurai, and knights, alongside elves, dwarves, beastfolk, and many other mythical creatures that inhabit the world.
