Books

The Desolation Cycle is a series about war, regret, corruption, and consequences.

It all begins with The Autumn Crusade, which will be released in two volumes starting with The Squire’s Dream.

This is a saga for those who love quirky, complicated characters, political entanglement, awkward romance, and a character-driven journey spanning a “slow-burn” coming-of-age tale to an explosive, world-spanning war. The Autumn Crusade is about the power of narrative itself, and what happens when our dreams become a tragedy of our own making.

📖The Autumn Crusade: The Squire’s Dream (2027)

As cracks form in the Kingdom of Bargandy’s golden age, Webb Horner lives a humble life in the town of Oldwood, attending Dalen School, playing in the orchestra, and hanging out with his best friend Darford. But, what if he could have more? What if he could emulate his favorite myths? What if the rhythm of his life fit his favorite symphonies?

When a questionable mentor gives him a choice, Webb ignites a fuse that had always been waiting for him, beginning a series of events that tears his childhood apart and leads him to witness the true nature of the world.

📖The Autumn Crusade: The Last Sword (TBA)

The REAL fantasy begins. Oldwood and Bargandy fade into history. The pain of memory burns wild, but Webb and company go forth in search of meaning, destiny, and maybe a selfish sense of fulfillment.

Old friends seem lost to the past, but new friends are abundant and ripe with betrayals, revelations, and determination rivaling that of Webb himself. Along the way, Webb gains something curious: a powerful sword said to bear limitless power. Just how far can it take him?
