Everett Dwyer, rendered in gold linework against a bare field, ragged cloak and travel-worn boots.

Book One of
The Maelum Trilogy

When an eyeless family staggers out of Wulsvil Forest, Everett Dwyer assumes a wild beast took their eyes. He soon learns a worse truth: they blinded themselves to escape something coming. Something they will not name.

The only clue is a dead word. It survives in the town’s old black ledger, yet no one can tell Everett what it means. It belongs to no language. It has no history. It is as though the world agreed, all at once, to forget.

That word is Religion.

The answer to what is coming lies in the word the world destroyed. Everett must uncover why Religion was erased from history before the Expatria burn him with it.

“A sweeping, epic fantasy, with a little romance, that had me smiling, laughing aloud and, on a few occasions, crying. The magic system has so much potential.”

“A riveting and distinctly, wonderfully human tale. This is, simply put, an astonishing debut novel from an immensely talented indie author. I feel part of something truly special.”
