Even as Zeke struggled to put himself back together, he marveled at the scene playing out before him. Seeing someone like Oberon, who was no bigger than a child, standing tall against a planet-sized tree goddess was a sight to behold. To Zeke, who could see the breadth of their divine...
2025-07-01 13:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostAnupriya Pandey clutched the clay mug, savoring the scent of masala chai. It was bold, cloaked in the floral warmth of cardamom with a hint of cinnamon. The sharp, almost medicinal scent of cloves pierced through the more potent scent, accompanied by a tickle of black pepper. Gi...
2025-06-30 15:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostA beam of pure destruction ripped across the atmosphere, slamming into Aja with relentless fury. She batted it aside with contemptuous ease, but Zeke had expected as much. That was why he was already charging toward her.
Or flying, such as it was.
In reality, he’d simply...
2025-06-30 13:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostI already posted something like this on Discord, so if you've already answered there, feel free to ignore this. I'm about to start outlining books 11 and 12 of Path of Dragons, and I'm compiling notes right now. So, I thought it'd be a good time to ask you all a couple of questions. Look at th...
2025-06-29 20:30:16 +0000 UTC View PostElijah focused on the ripples.
With every passing second, a pulse of ethera sent tiny waves through the atmosphere, not stopping for hundreds of feet. He wasn’t certain where they truly dissipated, but he knew it was somewhere well outside the sensory capabilities of Soul of the Wil...
2025-06-29 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSadie stood stiffly, gazing across the city of Eldrathûn. The awe she’d initially felt upon seeing the city, with its crystal architecture, was long gone, replaced by irritation, worry, and excitement. Somewhere out there was a horde of trolls waiting to be killed. The potent...
2025-06-28 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostZeke watched as a thousand ships broke free of the staging ground, then sailed off into space. Most of his friends were on those ships. People he cared about, along with millions of kobolds, beastkin, and humans, were meant to descend upon the moons and do his monstrous bidding.
“You will leave him be,” came an authoritative voice. “You have no authority here.”
“I have authority wherever I go, goblin,” another, more feminine voice responded. “You will relinquish the creature or suffer the consequences.”
“Be certain you are prepared to inf...
2025-06-27 15:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostI just wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow's Death: Genesis chapter will be delayed until Saturday. Hope that doesn't inconvenience anyone!

2025-06-26 16:48:51 +0000 UTC View PostA wave of fire swept across the army, roasting the first few ranks alive. They did not survive, but even Incinerate wasn’t enough to destroy the entire force. Elijah had already killed a few via his biological bombs, but killing the army had never been the intention of that tactic.&...
2025-06-26 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostZeke sat beneath the tree, leaning against its trunk as he toyed with the threads all around him. He’d been experimenting for the past week, and he’d made stunning progress in manipulating the strings that comprised every part of existence. As he tugged on the thread, the leaf to ...
2025-06-26 13:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostFrustration stubbornly gripped Elijah’s mind as the landscape surrounding Benediction flashed beneath him. He scarcely paid attention to the terrain. He didn’t appreciate the wildlife or the ruins. Instead, he was wholly focused on his recent meeting with Benedict.
Onc...
2025-06-25 15:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostStanding at more than a hundred feet tall, the moss-covered wall loomed above Elijah’s comparatively small form. He’d spent the past few hours circling the structure, confirming that it was perfectly round. There was only one entrance, marked by a massive and imposing gate that cu...
2025-06-25 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostSadie ripped her sword free of the wild troll, showering the area with gore. The monster’s blood was oddly thick, and great clumps of hair came with its flesh. More distressingly, despite what should have been a fatal wound, it remained upright. And over the past ten minutes, ...
2025-06-24 15:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post“If there are any of Aja’s worshippers left in the Eternal Realm, they’re well-hidden,” said Jasper. The dark elf looked tired. His eyes had sunk deep into their sockets, and he’d clearly not been taking care of himself. However, there was a hard edge to him that told ...
2025-06-24 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post“I don’t understand why we haven’t bound ourselves to the grove,” Vesk announced, pacing back and forth across the room. Like nearly everything else they had, its use had been paid for by Elijah. Or Nerthus, rather, who acted more like a Druid than the actual master of the isl...
2025-06-23 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe Shattered Hold had survived, though it was a shadow of its former incarnation. Part of that was because of the damage it had endured. Deep cracks ran through the crystal surface, and huge chunks had calved from the main structure. That, in turn, had exposed massive sections ...
2025-06-23 13:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostIt occurred to me that I hadn't revealed the cover art for book two of Path of Dragons (at least not on the Patreon - I have on Discord, though). So, here it is:
I just got this from my publisher, and I think it looks pretty cool. So, I decided to share it. This is the cover for book three of Path of Dragons. Shadow of the Hunter will be released in January of next year on Kindle, Audible, and Paperback. I'll let you all know when the pre-order goes u...
2025-06-22 21:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostElijah chose his moment well.
From where he’d remained perched in a tree, he threw himself at the lone asharii. His talons flashed, ripping into the blue creature with ease. Blood – paler, but still blue – splashed across the undergrowth, and the thing let out a gurgling w...
2025-06-22 15:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostFor what felt like the thousandth time, Sadie surveyed her troops. Many were ill-prepared for what was coming, as evidenced by their obvious discomfort with their new gear. The armor itself was perfectly fitted, as befit a product made by the world’s most powerful blacksmith. ...
2025-06-22 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs he left the Seat of Benediction behind, two things occurred to Elijah. The first was that he didn’t need to solve the world’s problems on his own. By all rights, he probably should have left the devils to Benedict. He already had them in check – at least from how he des...
2025-06-21 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s not what it looks like,” Benedict insisted, holding his hands up in surrender.
“Oh. Good. Because it looks like you’ve been sacrificing people to summon demons,” Elijah said with mock relief. “And that your people are cannibals. Can’t forg...
2025-06-20 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostZeke was unmade.
His body unraveled as his mind scattered in every direction. Through willpower alone, he forced it to coalesce, maintaining his form. Then, the threads came again, this time from an entirely different direction. He endured that attack, same as the last –...
2025-06-20 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostElijah ducked down an adjacent hall, then turned another corner just in time to avoid being detected by one of the Watchers. He’d only learned their name recently when he’d overheard a conversation between two passing priests, but he had to admit that it fit the floating green eyeballs ...
2025-06-19 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostReality closed in on Zeke, suffocating and caustic. Pressure unlike anything he’d ever felt threatened to crush him even as his body dissolved. Yet, with [Hand of Creation], he managed to remain intact, if only barely. Days passed. Weeks. Months. He lost trac...
2025-06-19 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post“Do you think they’re ready?” asked Sadie as she surveyed her assembled force. Thankfully, Ironshore’s training yard was large enough to accommodate so many, if only barely. Some of the lower-level people only needed a little space for training, but the more powerful among the...
2025-06-18 15:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe city bustled with manic energy. To Elijah, it felt like the prelude to an explosion. Everywhere he looked, he half expected to see an eruption of violence. But the Seat of Benediction remained peaceful, though with a barely contained atmosphere of electricity. To call ...
2025-06-18 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostElijah spent the better part of an entire day studying the settlement and the pyramid at its center, but in the end, he had neither the expertise or the desire to learn its secrets. The best he could come up with was that it resembled the summoning mechanism used by the gnomish golemancer h...
