BUILDING FICTIONAL WORLDS WITH DEEPLY HUMAN TRUTHS.
THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF THE RESONANce SERIES
RESONANCE
A boy raised to hate an empire. An empire he needs to save.
When Vir is forced to reach into a bowl with no end, he draws a golden orb that marks him with a title he doesn't recognise and expectations he doesn't understand. Torn from his village and delivered to the heart of an empire he's spent his life resenting, what he finds is far more broken, and far more human, than he was led to believe.
An ancient force that once held everything in balance is quietly dying.
He didn't come to serve. He didn't come to save.
But the world doesn't care what he came for.
About the author
A DOCTOR BY DAY,
A WRITER BY NIGHT
I draw inspiration from history, science, medicine and my travels. My stories unfold in fictional worlds, but they echo the struggles of our own: shifting politics, global conflict, cultural tension, and a changing climate. At the heart of my writing are imperfect heroes. Through them, I explore what it means to be human; to experience loss, grief, love, and hope.
