In the Works
Prologue: The Forgetting
More than seven thousand years before Algeo, the last battle of the war against the Vuurbir: the day Varnur's calendar begins, and the story the world forgot.
Adult Fiction
The Algeo saga
Written for adults: it contains war, loss and violence.
Algeo is eleven when, one night, soldiers storm the village at the foot of the mountain where he lives with his family. He flees into the woods alone, with little more than what his father taught him about tracking and survival.
On the mountain he is found by one of the three Firstborn, who takes him in as an apprentice and teaches him the rarest art of magic there is.
But Algeo cannot forget what he saw before he ran. Those soldiers did not act like soldiers, and no one will tell him why. That strangeness sets him on a hunt that will carry him through kingdoms at war and lands few dare to cross, and that will shape the rest of his life.
And he carries a wound that never heals: the fear of letting someone close and, once again, failing to protect them.
