He borrowed the Dark God's power. Now He's coming to collect that debt.

The empire named him a hero. But the atrocities Randal committed for the sake of ending the war left him a broken man. Shipped off to a country estate and estranged from his friends, he drowns his sins in cheap ale at the local tavern.

However, when he rouses from yet another drunken stupor to find his manor burned down and his family murdered, the warrior in him claws its way back to the surface. The only path before him is vengeance.

His hunt takes him across the empire and beyond. With each step forward, whispers of a sinister cult grow. The massacre wasn't random. The war he'd ended never died, and the followers of the Dark God have returned, looking for him.

Hi! I'm Roderick.

The first story I remember writing was a retelling of 'Little Red Riding Hood', told from the perspective of the wolf. I wrote it as a play for my hand puppets. At the time, I thought it was incredibly inventive. And it was pretty terrible. I was also 8 years old.

I never did finish that story, but I did fall in love with stories and story telling. I'm never far from a good book. And while I'll read almost anything, I have a preference for reading and writing fantasy.

After dabbling with writing stories over the years I finally sat down to write a book in 2019. And I haven't stopped yet.

When I'm not writing I spend most of my time with my wife and two daughters. Any remaining time goes to rock climbing, gardening and trying to play the guitar.
