War stirs once again in the tropical archipelago of Maradika. Perplexity fills the Datu of Hamabar as peril looms among the upriver realms.

A vagabond, who wields mystical powers, stalks the valley for bounty before stumbling across a young woman who enlists him as her companion. Though reluctant, he decides to embark on a journey with her.

As was rages on and a rival empire seeks to land on their shores, the path toward their destination may not be as straightforward as the vagabond initially believed.

Book I of The Moksa Trilogy.

Now, after years of uneasy peace, the God King and the Navo'ri Empire have returned, this time with a mighty fleet, casting a shadow over the land. The fate of Torryn now rests in the hands of its diverse defenders: the Xeldorian conjurers, master summoners through their art; the Faiths of Highmoon, wielders of Elemental sins; the Forgers of Dhul'ar, renowned for crafting sin weapons and their prowess in battle; the Craglins, avatars of the earth; and the Battleborns, fierce warriors sworn to protect their homeland. Amidst this rising tide of war, a young conjurer named Lest stands at the brink of his destiny. As he uncovers his abilities, he will navigate a world where art is power, faith is weaponry, and the very fabric of their society is threatened.
