OF BLOOD, BONES, AND TRUTH
Brimstone & Fire, #1
For fans of genre-bending science fiction and fantasy, Of Blood Bones and Truth is a modern take on classic epic fantasy stories featuring murder mystery, front-and-center queer representation, MM romance, and unique magical technology.
Kellan Manchester, an indentured political assassin, wants to lead a life of his own choosing. But as one of the Fallen - celestial descendants who are still paying for their ancestor’s mistakes - he has no choice but to do as he’s commanded.
All Cassian Evermore wants is to pay off his father’s debts and ensure his mother’s safety. Being forced to work for someone he hates is soul-crushing, but when he meets Legion assassin Kellan in the garden of a target’s home, he can’t help but wonder if he’s finally found something interesting.
Thanks to a fortuitous reunion in a nightclub, the two men form a tentative agreement to work together to solve a brutal string of murders in Spiral City. Kellan finds himself struggling to connect the dots, while Cassian juggles the emotional toll of targeting someone he’s come to see as a friend.
And neither of them can ignore their budding feelings for one another, even while the bodies continue to pile up.
Kellan and Cassian are two men with no control over their own fates - but this case could spell the same for the entire world.

THE PHANTOM FLAME
Brimstone & Fire, #2
The Phantom Flame is the angsty, action-packed, and demonic sequel to Of Blood, Bones, and Truth! Featuring an epic quest, heists, and higher stakes than ever, will Kellan and Cassian be able to reunite and save the Empire as it slowly falls to chaos?
Four years after losing Cassian to the Hells, Kellan Manchester is fighting demons day in and day out. His grief and anger threaten to consume him, and even though he has friends to keep him grounded, nothing seems to ease the sting of loss. When new information about Cassian resurfaces, Kellan is determined to break the shackles that keep him bound to the Legion and Spiral City.
Cassian is alive, but stuck. He finds himself in the Hells and in a pact with a demon named Zalmelloth. Although his power has grown significantly, all he can think of is getting back to the material plane, and back to Kellan. As his knowledge of the Hells grows, Cassian realizes there is much more to the other planes than he’d originally anticipated.
Secrets await both of them in their quests for freedom, secrets that can change everything they know about Ileron and the Empire. Their journeys will lead them to revelations that will rip apart the very fabric that holds their worlds together.
