OZMA Grand Prize Winner for Fantasy Fiction (2023)
He wakes with nothing but a prophecy and a letter that makes him question everything.
In a kingdom where magic means death and prophecies foretell destruction, Zephyrus finds himself trapped between two impossible destinies: a letter naming him an emissary of peace, and a prophecy marking him as either savior or destroyer. But with his memories shattered and his closest friend murdered before his eyes, even survival seems like a distant hope.
Forced into the arena as a gladiator in the royal games, Zephyrus must navigate a deadly web of court intrigue, divine manipulation, and his own fractured past. Every victory brings him closer to freedom, but also closer to uncovering a truth that could tear the kingdom apart. As gods wage their own wars using mortals as pawns, Zephyrus must decide:
Will he become the weapon of liberation his people need, or the peacemaker his enemies claim he was meant to be?
Yet the most dangerous game isn't in the arena… It's in the shadows of the court, where queens plot secret revolutions, princes play with fire and call it “honor and justice,” and even the gods themselves can't be trusted. With his very identity hanging in the balance, Zephyrus must answer one question before it's too late:
How do you choose your destiny when you can't remember who you were meant to be?
First in a completed trilogy that readers call "breathtaking," "masterfully crafted," and "impossible to put down," THE SCALES OF BALANCE weaves prophecy, betrayal, and divine intervention into an epic tale of survival, defiance, and the price of freedom.
Perfect for readers who love:
- High Stakes Arena Combat
- Complex Political Intrigue
- Fantasy Prophecies & Real World Applications
- Military fantasy with Magical Elements
- Stories of Identity, Destiny, and Redemption
SPARTACUS meets GAME OF THRONES in a world magic, mythology, and warring gods in this completed, award-winning Epic Fantasy trilogy.

About the Author
When Tim isn't writing epic fantasy, he can often be found in his garage-gym or in the mountains where he lives. A virtual fitness professional by trade, he integrates his creative passions into movement, training with maces, clubs, staves, and swords to unlock his inner gladiator.
More than writing, reading, gaming, playing music, hiking, and paddle-boarding, Tim loves story. If he's not working on his own story, he's helping others develop theirs as an author coach.
Living in Arizona with his wife, Colleen, Tim continues writing epic fantasy novels while exploring different storytelling mediums so he can inspire others to hope. To live. And to believe.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Peace bought by blood seldom lasts, for vengeance knows no end. The same is true for mortals and Gods alike. Decades, centuries, eras may pass, but the cycle remains. As war and revolution rise again, Zephyrus finds himself at the center of it all. Chosen by the Gods, hailed as a prophet of liberation, and forged as a weapon to break the kingdom and restore balance to the realm, hope rests squarely on his shoulders. If only he could remember.Enslaved as a gladiator and thrust into a prince's game of espionage, Zephyrus has only two clues to help unlock his shattered past: a prophecy foretelling destruction, and a letter to the enemy king, promising peace. Now Zephyrus must survive the dangers of the gladiatorial arena, the cunning fury of the Prince's enemies, and the Gods' torment if he is to find the truth of his identity and fulfill his fate. But to have any hope of breaking the cycle, first he must secure his freedom-and not just from his slavers.Within this vengeful realm, a queen protecting her kingdom, a prince defending his father, and a gladiator slave haunted by a prophecy each contend for their own brand of freedom. But the Gods have an agenda of their own, and they'll use any vessel-patrician, plebeian, or slave-to see it done.The scales must be balanced. By peace. Or by blood. Seller Inventory # 9798986285528
