And the letter begins — not with urgency, but with care. As she follows its presence into deeper corridors and candle-lit rooms that shouldn’t exist, the past begins to unfold beside her.

With a background in biological research and a deep interest in how life evolves under pressure, he builds fantasy worlds where ecosystems feel lived-in, and where rivers, roots, and bond-creatures shape the fate of cities hanging on by their fingertips. His ongoing World of Tethys saga follows exiles, wranglers, and root-listeners clinging to a cliffside civilization above a dangerous prehistoric sea.
