A fearless warrior…nearly broken by blood.
An innocent child…marked by darkness.
For fans of Christopher Buehlman and Joe Abercrombie!
When the small town of Drassox is massacred in a sudden and ruthless attack, veteran Captain Lothar finds himself thrust into an unexpected role: Protector of Kael, a quiet, wide-eyed boy with a mysterious past—and a terrifying future.
Hunted by a ruthless holy order hellbent on exterminating all the children in the area and haunted by terrifying dreams, it becomes clear Kael is no ordinary child. As the pair are forced to flee deeper into the wilderness, Lothar must confront dark forces far beyond mortal reckoning, including whispers of an ancient evil, eager to return to the world.
With allies scarce and dangers rising, Lothar faces a harrowing choice: trust in the rumors of a hidden sanctuary—or forge his own path to keep Kael safe. But the further they travel, the more the line between salvation and damnation begins to blur.
Before the end, Lothar’s honor and morals will be tested.
And a battle for Kael’s innocence and soul will begin.
‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness and wickedness’
Beneath the Ashen Sky is a gripping Grimdark tale of sacrifice, honor, and the quiet courage that changes everything.
Although Beneath the Ashen Sky is a standalone novel, I am currently working on a sequel – Due out before the end of 2025!
