Fantasy · Political thriller
Two sagas about law, rebellion and the ordinary people who decide where justice ends and obedience begins.
The Making of a Tyrant · Book One
When Chancellor Elsabeth Preest dies without warning, executive authority in the Federal Republic of Darahgon falls to the one person its machinery cannot function without: Desria Bothram, the quiet and indispensable Administrator General. She is not interested in power. She is interested in order.
A political thriller built inside a fantasy world — a novel about how republics fall not through violence but through patience, through the slow legislative dismantling of safeguards. It is also a heist. You won't know that until the final page.
Also writing as Samuel Odekunle
An epic of law, rebellion and the making of a republic — from flintlock warfare to steam-driven revolution.

Born into power, raised in fear, Brius Juriis learns that justice is not the same as obedience — and that the law can bury the innocent as easily as it protects them.

A runaway cadet rises through the Navy of Aitherena to lead a revolution — and discovers the true cost of the peace she is fighting to build.

A republic born in blood must survive its own founder's family. Flintlock warfare, steampunk invention and heartbreaking loyalty collide.
