The Living Lore Series

Book 1: The Shades of the Abyss

They Came from The Abyss….

An old prophecy is being revived. Texts from an ancient time read of events happening in the present day. In the city of Checcheri, where cathedrals rise and merchants trade wares, a young apprentice of the Grand Archivist discovers secrets tied to ancient legends that mirror the events of the present.

It all leads back to a book, the long journey once walked by an explorer of eras past, and a contract with the Shades from the Abyss. Baxter must learn what he can and embark on a quest to ensure the repetition of history does not come with a new, dark ending….

Book 2: Horde of Shadows

A cursed tome can rewrite history. Baxter just hopes it won’t erase him first.

When Shades begin clawing their way into the world, three unlikely heroes leave their cultured home of Checcheri behind to find the truth buried in the Old World. Their only guide is Daemondimonium, a forbidden book that can twist the past into the present with a single spoken line. The more Baxter reads, the more reality changes around them… and not always for the better.

Hounded by a rising Shadow Army and haunted by ancient daemons, the group pushes toward the Mountain of the Abyss. Derek, ever the defender, charges into danger with sword and shield in hand. Eidel, sharp-eyed and sharper-tongued, navigates foreign lands filled with treachery and fractured empires. Baxter? He studies, he recites, and each time he does, the darkness inside the book glances back at him.
