But when betrayal strikes from the person he trusted most, Kael is exiled to the unforgiving desert-a punishment that should have meant his death.
Captured and enslaved in the empire's brutal gladiator arenas, Kael must learn to fight, not just to survive but to protect those who rely on him. With the empire threatening to crush the tribes, Kael begins to rise as a leader, forging unlikely alliances with warriors as broken and determined as he is. But as whispers of rebellion grow, Kael discovers that freedom comes at a cost-and taking back his homeland might mean losing everything he loves.
"Ashes of the Sun" is a gripping tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and finding strength in the unlikeliest of places. For fans of action-packed fantasy, sweeping desert landscapes, and fierce characters who refuse to give up, Kael's journey will leave you breathless.

Of Thieves & Kings
In the Known World, fire is more than power-it is destiny. Rebellion ignites in the desert city of Claethorpes, where a sinister flame colder than death itself threatens to consume Emberland. Leading his father's armies into battle, Cassian, the illegitimate son of King Darius, is tested in blood and fire long before he ever dreams of wearing a crown. But as the city burns, tragedy spreads to the heart of the empire. King Darius lies on his deathbed, leaving behind a fractured realm-and a dangerous legacy. Though he legitimized Cassian and named him heir, Queen Sophia and her son, Prince Gaius, will stop at nothing to seize the throne. As Cassian navigates the treacherous paths of war and court intrigue, he must also face the shadows within. Haunted by a white creature that stalks his dreams, and drawn to a fiery redhead whose beauty hides dangerous secrets, he struggles to hold on to his destiny. Caught between rebellion on the battlefield and betrayal in the royal court, Cassian must choose what kind of man he will become. Will he rise as the king his father believed in-or be consumed by the enemies gathering on every front? Epic battles, elemental gifts, and a kingdom at war with itself converge in this sweeping high-fantasy saga where every choice burns.
Two Graves in the Dust
Cassian never planned on betrayal-at least not from his own crew. Left broken and bleeding on the edge of the desert, he flees with nothing but the memory of guns and blades at his back. Survival shouldn't be possible... until he's found by Koda, a quiet tracker with secrets of his own. Bound by chance and desperation, the two men carve a path across towns that barely remember mercy and sands that swallow everything whole. Cassian carries rage like a weapon; Koda carries silence like a shield. Together, they forge an uneasy alliance that shifts, slowly, into something neither can name. But the desert is not empty. Pursuers close in, old debts rise from the dust, and trust-once broken-may never be repaired. To survive, they must decide what they're willing to fight for, and what they're willing to bury. Because in a land of betrayal and blood, there are only two endings: forgiveness... or two graves in the dust.
From the Ashes
In a land ravaged by war and destruction, it's not uncommon to find orphans and wanderers with no set path and little knowledge of themselves. Morana is no exception. Her life has been one of inconsistency, moving from place to place every few years, always trying to keep ahead of an unknown danger. But she can't hide forever, and danger is quickly closing in. When a brutal attack leaves Morana alone and on the run, she has no choice but to search for answers, both about herself and about the Dark Lord pursuing her. Her only clue leads her to someone who may have the answers she seeks, but can she trust one who was created by her enemy? Time is running out for everyone and the end of an age approaches. Morana will either rise from the ashes or find herself in a grave beneath them. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements.
