Author of the Reflections of Shadow tales – a dark fantasy epic allegory for our harrowed times.

Book 1: Nemesis Spawned

Alexander Cadeyrn was born and baptized in blood and turmoil. Since the day that he took his first breath, his life’s course has been steered by forces beyond his control or understanding.  He strives to achieve the destiny that was promised him – a world to rule, and the power to rule it – but he soon learns that reaching his goal may be far more difficult than he had hoped.

Alexander is thrust into a world that has been ravaged by decades of war and strife.  He tries to integrate into an unfamiliar and frustrating society, but he’s unable to reconcile his twisted values with those of the clansmen around him.  The malevolence in his soul threatens to tear apart all that he’s fought to achieve.  Even before the darkness can consume him, however, Alexander is betrayed.

Alone and adrift, Alexander struggles against the machinations of those who would make him their puppet.  And, as he rebuilds his shattered existence, he tries desperately to restore balance to a life burdened by a terrible yearning for murder and vengeance…

Nemesis Spawned is the first tale in the Reflections of Shadow series.
