Even as Ian trains to master his gifts as a mage, war looms.

Beyond the Wall: Book 1 of Peredur’s Saga (2025)
Britain has fallen into anarchy.
In 500 A.D., the former Roman province is invaded from all sides. One man—Arthur—seeks to stem the tide and fight for what has been lost, and could be again: a unified kingdom.
Joining him in time to face a new invasion, a Pictish army sweeping down from the Scottish Highlands, is sixteen-year-old Peredur (Percival) of Gwynedd. He has sworn vengeance against the Saxons who killed his older brother, but his first campaign will test him far beyond revenge.
Wolves of Caledonia: Book 2 of Peredur’s Saga (2026)
The only thing that makes the dying lights of civilization shine a little brighter is the reflection on blades of steel fighting the darkness. In the far north of the island of Britain, the legions of Rome have vanished, gone to fight in the wars of a disintegrating empire. In their stead rides the cavalry of Arthur, Tribune of the last Romano – British fighting unit that pledges their lives to no petty king, but to Britain as a whole.
Peredur of Gwynedd has survived that most dangerous of times, a soldier’s first encounter with combat, and now rides with ease and respect among his companions. Arthur, impressed by Peredure’s courage and composure, sends him beyond the old Roman borders. His mission to accompany Arthur’s counselor, Myrddin, and his protégé, Morgana, into the lands of Dal Riata on a diplomatic journey.
The situation in the Old North presents hazards at every turn, however. Surrounded by rival kingdoms, shifting loyalties, and enemies who are not always what they seem, Peredur discovers that words can be as lethal as open battle. Far from the safety of his unit and stripped of certainty, he is forced to confront the realities of leadership and the cost of responsibility in a land where Roman law no longer holds sway.
Along the way, the young soldier is drawn into a quiet, dangerous search for the Grail—an object bound to Rome’s fading legacy and Britain’s uncertain future, whose true nature is as elusive as the peace Arthur hopes to secure.
Book Two of Into The Darkness, a tale of the unknown valour when men turned into legends or get lost in the depths of time.
The Siege of Badon
Book Three of the Into the Darkness trilogy. (2027)
Britain stands on the brink of destruction.
The Saxon kingdoms have united, gathering the largest army Britain has seen in generations. Their goal is simple: march west, crush the remaining British kingdoms, and finish the conquest their fathers began.
Standing in their path is Arthur and his Red Dragons.
For Peredur, the coming war is more personal than ever. No longer the inexperienced boy who first rode to Caer Lleon, he is now a proven warrior with men who look to him for leadership—and a family of his own to protect. But months of bloody fighting have taken their toll, and the Saxons are stronger, more organized, and more determined than ever before.
As the enemy closes around Caer Badon, Peredur and his companions must face the battle that will decide the fate of Britain.
Not all of them will survive it.
The Siege of Badon is the third and final novel in the Peredur Trilogy, a gritty retelling of Arthurian legend grounded in the history and warfare of post-Roman Britain.
The Broken Company, Book 1 of the Headhunters Trilogy (2026)
The Headhunters have survived every battlefield the Untveski Empire has thrown them onto. Until now.
For years, Owen the Blue has fought alongside one of the most feared mercenary companies in Alaris. The Headhunters are his friends, his family, and the only home he has ever truly known.
When the Empire launches a punitive expedition into the forbidden forests of Shuwa-Reyneth, the Headhunters are paid to lead the way. Their target is the elusive wood elves—an enemy said to have slaughtered entire legions and left no survivors.
The stories are true.
In a single devastating battle, the Headhunters are destroyed.
Owen and a handful of survivors awaken as prisoners of the very elves they were sent to kill. Stripped of their company, their purpose, and nearly everyone they loved, the mercenaries must learn to survive among their enemies. But as Owen is drawn deeper into the strange world of the wood elves, old loyalties begin to fracture and uncomfortable truths about the Empire they served come to light.
Some wounds heal.
Some hatreds only deepen.
And the survivors of the Headhunters may discover that losing their company was only the beginning.
