Four Books. Two Worlds Worth Exploring.

From the political chaos of the Erstallius Chronicles to a close reading of the narrow road in Scripture, each book asks readers to look past the easy answer and dig for the true one.

  • When a mining colony is destroyed, Clan Erstallius is blamed for the attack. As war spreads across the district, Arlud Erstallius begins a dangerous journey to uncover the truth — and finds something far bigger than one attack, and more dangerous than all the clans combined.

    Chaos Rising

    • Volume One
  • Bev Colli is trapped in a strange new existence, searching for a way out while the worlds around her move closer to collapse. Arlud Erstallius faces a path he never wanted. Across dimensions, Bev and Arlud remain mentally connected — a bond that becomes both a source of hope and a warning that something larger is moving beneath the chaos.

  • Many people read Scripture through ideas they inherited before they ever opened the Bible for themselves. Lawless Tradition invites readers to step back and look again — examining how culture, translation, and centuries of religious tradition have shaped the way people understand God, Scripture, and the message of the New Testament.

Reader Feedback

What Readers Are Saying

“I enjoyed how the book introduces different worlds, cultures, and clan histories without slowing everything down. It has the kind of depth science fiction readers look for, with enough action to keep the pages turning.”

Rebecca Lang

“What stood out to me most was the mix of mystery and survival. Clan Erstallius is blamed for a terrible attack, and the search for the truth slowly reveals something much bigger than one destroyed colony.”

Marcus Ellery

“This is not a simple space adventure. There are old alliances, political pressure, hidden motives, and a growing sense that the real enemy is still in the shadows. It feels like the first chapter of a much larger story.”
