REFLECTIONS OF SHADOW Book 1: NEMESIS SPAWNED
Alexander Cadeyrn is no hero . . . but he is destined for greatness.
His ruthless father, Saelen—one of five immortal avatars and Lloryca’s creator—has ambitious plans for his son. He knows that Alexander is fated to touch a rare metaphysical phenomenon called a schism and inherit its deific power and he wants to use his son’s power to subjugate the entire universe. Unbeknownst to Saelen, however, the other avatars have already set efforts in motion to sabotage his nefarious plans.
As Alexander awaits the moment when he must claim the power he’s been promised, he is thrust into a Lloryca scarred by centuries of war. He seeks to unite the clans and become their king but he knows that he must overcome his own sociopathic tendencies to do so. He clings to the moral teachings of his beloved surrogate father, Owen, but cannot resist the siren call of violence in the guise of ambition and vengeance. Saelen, for his part, only encourages Alexander’s sadistic nature, knowing that it will only aid his ascension.
Will Alexander curb the malevolence in his soul that undermines his hopes to become a hero? Will he overcome the machinations of those who would make him their puppet? Will he restore balance to a world soaked in blood and shattered by reckless ambition . . . or merely tip the scales even further?
Nemesis Spawned, the first book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy, is an epic fantasy tale that weaves a multi-dimensional exploration of sociopathy into elements of classic myth, visceral horror, and cosmic/elemental power.

REFLECTIONS OF SHADOW Book 2: WORLDS SUNDERED
Two men. Two worlds. Two fates . . .
Alexander Ganainmh is two men now. The aspects of dark and light that once warred within him have been fractured and made flesh, the product of a metaphysical schism and the machinations of immortal, god-like avatars.
In Seteris, a world ravaged by the chaos of broken timelines, Val Feidhlim leads an army of heroic warriors of all races in an epic struggle against the nightmare forces, and wanton destructive ambitions, of Val Ciarawn. Epic battles drench the landscape in blood, but the horror of war is merely a backdrop to the fight against Saelen—the avatar bent on universal domination—and both Val Feidhlim and Val Ciarawn are inexorably drawn into the tangled web of the gods.
In Lloryca, Alexander Cadeyrn has disappeared—now merely a villain of legend. The Bryn’Meadhn clans have mostly unified under the leadership of Seamus Domhnal, a man with two adopted sons: Wendell and Cillian—Feidhlim and Ciarawn reborn. Wendell, a shy outcast, has spent his youth bullied and tormented by his twin brother, the cruel and charismatic Cillian. While Wendell seeks only peace and the affections of his unrequited love, Cillian and his friends plot to bring the world to its knees.
In the epic struggle of light versus dark, which can truly conquer the other . . . and what will remain of that which survives?
Worlds Sundered, the second book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy, continues the epic fantasy journey that weaves a multi-dimensional exploration of sociopathy into elements of classic myth, visceral horror, and cosmic/elemental power.

REFLECTIONS OF SHADOW: SYZYGY REVEALED
Convergence.
The dark threads of fate are drawing the greatest powers in the universe towards an inevitable and explosive conjunction.
Alexander Cadeyrn returns to the world after decades in exile. His experiences have left him scarred and broken, with only vengeance in his heart—vengeance against his father, the immortal avatar Saelen, and the two fractured versions of himself that now call themselves kings.
Cillian Domhnal, embodying the dark aspects of Alexander’s nature, has poisoned Bryn’Meadhn culture. Under the guise of creating prosperity, Cillian has perverted their values to prize greed, selfishness, and cruelty. As his enemies close in, he casts aside all pretences and embraces his desire for destruction and chaos, squeezing every drop of pleasure from the pain that he inflicts.
Meanwhile, Wendell Domhnal, embodying the light aspects of Alexander’s nature, has been crowned king and has finally harnessed the great power inside him, though he still doubts himself. With his motley crew of unlikely friends and the woman he loves, he assembles an army and leads it north, hoping to cure the blight that Cillian has gleefully unleashed in Bryn’Meadhn.
With universal destruction at the hands of a despotic avatar looming, can balance finally be restored when Alexander, Cillian, and Wendell finally face their own reflections?
Syzygy Revealed, the third book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy, concludes the epic fantasy journey that weaves a multi-dimensional exploration of sociopathy into elements of classic myth, visceral horror, and cosmic/elemental power.
