Realm Strider
In a World That is Written, a Slave Takes The Pen.
A slave in a tomb of dragon bones. A false god of madness poised to break free. A gift of light the seven realms cannot afford to lose. Merik has known only the mines and the lash. Then the world opens before him: a chance at escape. A promise of power. A warning whispered through the dream-visions of a ghostly light. Now the false god stirs, its voice seducing him: “Take this power. Control your fate. Never be a slave again.” But power granted always demands its own price. To save the realms, and to save himself, Merik must learn to trust those who offer hope rather than domination. He must choose the risk of love instead of the safety of control. He must embrace freedom when safety lies in chains. If he fails, all that is good and free will be plunged into suffocating madness. If he wins, he will become the light the darkness always feared.

About the Book
A slave in a tomb of dragon bones.
A false god of madness poised to break free.
A gift of light the seven Realms cannot afford to lose.
Merik has known only the mines and the lash. Then the world cracks open: a chance at freedom, a promise of power, a warning whispered through the dream-visions of a wandering light.
The god in the mirror stirs. Its voice is patient, reasonable, irresistible. Take my power. Control your fate. Never be a slave again. Every power in the seven Realms wants to use him. But the darkest temptation is not a return to the chains. It is the chance to be the one who holds them.
To save the cosmos, his friends, and to save himself, Merik must learn the one thing slavery and an innate proficiency in Veicraft never taught him: trust. He must choose the risk of love over the safety of control. He must embrace freedom when chains feel safer.
If he fails, all that is good and free will be swallowed by madness.
If he succeeds, he will become the light the darkness always feared.
Realm Strider — an epic fantasy about the war every person must fight inside themselves before they can fight the one in front of them.
