Conjunction Born

Worlds coming apart. A galaxy bleeding into another. And a generation blamed for both.

Across five planets, people are dying—paralyzed in mid-step, dead before they hit the ground. And in the skies, another galaxy is seeping into the Yuna, dragging their worlds into a once-every-twenty-six-year cosmic alignment known as the Prime Conjunction. Consumed by panic, a crumbling society has found someone to blame: the Conjunction Born, gifted outsiders birthed during the alignment.

Dorik is cursed with seeing what no one else can: the gnarled pathways of time and reality—and the shadow-creatures creeping through them, devouring what is left of his timeline. When his magically gifted sister, Odrid, is dragged into those branches, Dorik is blamed for her death. He screams the truth to anyone who will listen.

No one believes him.

Hunted by his own world and by the horrors that feed on time, Dorik’s sanity-shredding ability is the only thing standing between what was and what could be. His only hope lies in uniting a band of fellow outcasts:

• Timia, a weaver whose combined heritage gives her control over time that terrifies everyone near her.
• Cerric, a conjurer marked for sacrifice and denied by the friend who shares his birth.
• The psion, Alarea, who can tilt the odds of any future in her favor.
• Py, a technologist determined to use her brilliant mind to prove the Conjunction Born are worth saving.

To survive, the Conjunction Born must convince the very societies that curse them that outcasts are the only thing holding time together.

Conjunction Born is the first book in The Root of Infinity, a four-book science fantasy series featuring a queer and multiracial ensemble cast. Perfect for readers who love magic braided with quantum mechanics, feared outsiders who turn out to be the last hope, and time-travel paradoxes that end in heartbreak.

The boundless

The timeline is fracturing. The Horde is advancing. And the sister he mourned is still alive.

Hunted across the five worlds, Dorik and his fellow outcasts are running out of time. Dorik has been named as the Guide—the only one who can navigate the infinite, gnarled branches of the Boundless to find the single, narrow pathway where their world survives.

But the Horde is determined to destroy the Yuna from the inside out. Seeding confusion and treachery, they’re determined to find the Boundless’ center and unleash their devouring Spores across the branches of time.

As their paths converge, the Conjunction Born are thrust into the battle for their worlds’ survival:

Timia must wield her terrifying mastery over the fabric of time to stop an inevitable collapse. 

Cerric, pursued by the Horde’s forces, races to find and warn the others of the enemy’s plans—while struggling to forgive the man who betrayed him. 

Alarea bends probability to her will, even as she is hunted by an assassin whom strangely no one else can see. 

Py turns her temporal lens toward the Boundless, calculating the arrival of an entity that will bring either their salvation or their destruction.

Dorik’s uncontrollable ability is the only thing standing between what was and what could be. To prevent total collapse, he faces an impossible choice: master his gift and abandon his new friends to save his sister, or protect the present and watch his new family — and Timia — perish as time unravels around them.

With enemies closing in from every timeline, Dorik must walk the razor’s edge between saving his sister and losing their universe forever.

The Boundless is Book Two of The Root of Infinity, a four-book science fantasy series featuring a queer and multiracial ensemble cast. It delivers one breathtaking reveal after another for readers who love magic braided with quantum mechanics, feared outsiders who turn out to be the last hope, and time-travel paradoxes that end in heartbreak.

In the Father’s Shadow

Togan was raised to be a tyrant. Turns out he’s terrible at it.

His mother was the first to understand what he was. She wrote him a book — everything she knew about the magic waking in his blood, everything she would not live to teach him. His father killed her for the tenderness. Togan was made to watch.

His father is the Kroeten, the warlord whose dark magic has broken half the world. Togan was taught to rule with cruelty and brute force, but his mother’s bloodline lets him See the hidden strands of magic itself. In his father’s fortress, that gift is an execution order.

So he runs.

Fear of his kind races ahead of him, and he arrives under a name that isn’t his. Togan seeks quiet refuges—first at a school for mages where magic is studied for joy, and later on a remote farm where hard work leaves his hands tired instead of bloody. But his father’s armies are on the march, and no haven can stay hidden forever.

Half a world away, Jisra commands a desperate army in the last coalition standing against the Kroeten. Gifted with Foresight that reveals battle a heartbeat early, she and her close-knit circle of warriors are losing the war—and they know it.

When an encounter with a god permanently alters Togan’s magic, his cover begins to fracture. As his father’s forces close in, Togan faces an impossible choice: keep hiding to save his own life, or weaponize his father’s dark heritage to defend the people who took him in.

Book one of the completed Mage’s Cradle trilogy—an epic fantasy saga of a villain’s son, a hidden heritage, and three refuges that could not hold.

For readers of sprawling secondary-world fantasy, morally gray heroes, found family, and an ensemble where queer characters and characters of color are simply part of the world.

a sister’s sacrifice

A villain trying to be a hero. And a world that will not let him be one.

Everyone in Dinota knows who Togan is, and they are terrified of him.

He told them the truth himself. He is the son of the Kroeten—and confessing it has cost him Jisra, his uncle, and every shred of the life he built in exile.

Distraught and alone, Togan sets out to find the only family member who might understand: his aunt Sonna, rumored to live in self-imposed banishment. But when Sonna is captured by the Kroeten, Togan must race back to the land of his birth before his father discovers her secret—that she knows how to bring down the Dinotian Shield.

To free her, Togan is forced into a dangerous bargain with his sister, Malara, who terrorized him throughout his childhood. Meanwhile, as the Kroeten prepares his final, crushing blow against Dinota, Jisra and her circle make a desperate last stand. The ancient prophecy still binds them—but it never meant what anyone believed. With the man she loves revealed as the son of her greatest enemy, Jisra must decide if centuries of hatred can be overcome.

As mortals crash against the machinations of gods who have manipulated Togan since birth, the ultimate battle lines are drawn.

Villains become heroes. And Togan’s final stand at the Mage’s Cradle—the fountainhead of the gods’ power—will shift the balance of magic forever.

The thrilling conclusion to the completed Mage’s Cradle trilogy—an epic fantasy saga of a villain’s son, a hidden heritage, and a love that endures against all odds.

For readers of sprawling secondary-world fantasy, redemption arcs, hard-won found family, and an ensemble where queer characters and characters of color are simply part of the world.
