CURRENT NOVEL PROJECT
Two Kings
A novel set in the world of Altherra
"Two brothers. One crown. A kingdom on the edge of fracture."
Two Kings follows Princes Baldur and Dodgric Oakhyll as the kingdom of Nordwynn is thrown into turmoil after the sudden death of their father. One brother seeks stability through duty and diplomacy, while the other is pulled between brilliance and indulgence, all as political tensions, hidden loyalties, and ancient rivalries threaten to fracture the realm.
Set in a world inspired by 9th-century Europe, Two Kings blends grounded realism with deeply developed cultures, religions, and political histories. The story explores the fragile weight of inheritance, the cost of leadership, and the quiet, human moments that shape the fate of nations. Through richly built kingdoms and multifaceted characters, the novel delves into the tension between duty and desire, faith and power, and the way history echoes through every choice.
Status: In active development — expected completion in 2027.
