Fragmented Eternity Series

Shattered Sky

Fragmented Eternity Book 1

The world has ended. A cataclysmic storm has torn everything apart, and Enoch, steward of the Citadel of Starmeer, is turned to stone along with the rest of the Citadel’s servants to weather the tempest’s wrath, all while the lord of Starmeer gives his life to turn the storm aside.

Enoch unpetrifies a thousand years later to discover the very ground shattered and the landmasses floating in the sky. He ventures into this new world to uncover its mysteries as he awaits his fellow servants’ awakening. Peaceful monks, princes noble and foul, humble merchants, greedy mercenaries, and deadly pirates drag him into far more than he planned for, and set him on a path from which there is no turning back.

The Raven and the Angel

Fragmented Eternity Book 2

Enoch is captive to the mysterious White Raven, the secrets of his home daily in danger under the pirate’s scrutiny. Prince Andris is himself under suspicion of treason, and soon imprisoned and awaiting execution. The hope for both their freedoms lies with Yomiko of Starmeer, though her desperate recklessness could prove the undoing of everything. Worse, their liberation would bring the paths of prince and Exemplar crashing together, sparking the battle they have long sought, dooming one or the other to the grave.

But a greater threat looms in the form of ancient evil reawakened. Can Enoch and Andris put aside their grievances to face this foe, or will Ranistar collapse beneath the pursuit of their justice?

Crownless Kings

Fragmented Eternity Book 3

Life returns to the Citadel of Starmeer. The rest of the servants are beginning to unpetrify, and through their help, the Citadel is being rebuilt. Enoch is glad to finally relax… until the ancient monster which once ruled Starmeer begins to return, and Enoch and the other servants must scramble to find some way to prevent disaster, or else, to face a foe they are woefully unprepared for.

Meanwhile, the kingdom of Ranistar has descended into civil war. Prince Andris makes for the capital to save his cousin Minch from Sinderion Wisdom’s schemes. In his way stands old comrades-in-arms and the people he is supposed to protect. Yet even as he sails closer to his destination, the kingdom fractures further, and he is faced with the question of what his duty is.

The Angel’s Throne

Fragmented Eternity Book 4

The introduction of Starmeer to the wider world has sent ripples across Ranistar and beyond. The new King Andris faces a storm of cries for war even as he struggles to return the kingdom from the brink of its own civil conflict, and the more distant polities of the Septet Theocracy and even New Heaven turn their eyes towards the Citadel.

But Enoch is ready. Starmeer gathers its forces to prepare for one of its greatest challenges yet: a festival, meant to impress its detractors into silence, or even better yet, alliance. An army of visitors sails for Starmeer, armed with tension, criticism, skepticism, and outright hostility. Secrets will be uncovered, preconceptions tested, and a great share of laughter, too long forgotten in the Citadel’s halls, will fill Starmeer once more.
