SCI-FI • ACTION • ADVENTURE • FANTASY

I write books that speak to the power of the human spirit and our ability to triumph over our inner struggles. My themes transcend the practical aspects of storytelling and venture into rich themes reflecting the spiritual battle between the Light and the Darkness. Templar: The Last Remnant is a sweeping adventure about an embittered warrior who must learn to let her old self die so her true self can rise from the ashes.

Ordained by the Light but consumed by vengeance. How can she be the galaxy’s last hope when all she feels is hate?

For eons, the Templar were known as the warriors of the Light—guardians who fought to preserve the peace and stability of a galaxy plagued by darkness. But in time, the seeds of corruption ignited a war that tore the seven bloodlines of their order apart and scattered them across the stars where they were hunted down to the brink of extinction.

After centuries in exile, Aliya Minjassu is among the precious few who remain. Scarred and embittered by tragedy, she has forsaken the Light to seek vengeance against the dark immortal who murdered her family. But when she is drawn into a quest to recover a relic once coveted by her father, she will be confronted by a power and responsibility that she can no longer deny.

Torn between the Light and the Darkness, Aliya must now choose the path she will follow as she joins a band of renegades on a galaxy-sprawling adventure that will lead her toward an inevitable encounter with the enemy of her soul and a battle for the fate of the galaxy.

WRITTEN INSPIRATION

“Throughout my years of research, these were the three books that I kept coming back to. They helped me grasp the deeper meanings and themes behind my favorite stories and inspired me to weave those ideas into my own work.”
