Genesis of the Fall

Book 1 of the Derivations Trilogy

COVER COMING SOON!

War grows old in the conquered south of Húr, its people crushed under the ambitions of the Easausian empire.

Akrik Guilyn, the Hollow Prince of Easaus, is no stranger to austerity. Once second in line to the throne, he now feels the emperor’s eye upon him—hostile and calculating. As conquest turns to occupation, his value to the empire’s high-court diminishes, and whispers of the headsman’s block grow louder. Caught between courtly schemers and paternal disdain, Akrik must fight for relevance in the harsh landscape.

Loira Falds, a once-proud captain of the Húrian army, sees the noose drawing tight around the neck of her nation. Years spent fighting and losing her kith and kin have made her desperate. And reckless. She is a woman waging peace, at the risk of her own morality.

The gods yet stir, seeking a mortal vessel to wield their wrath. Akrik flees toward their offered salvation. Loira races to defend her country from it. The future of the known world hangs in the balance.

Genesis of the Fall—the first book in the Derivations Trilogy—plunges readers into a world of high-stakes conflict, fractured loyalties, and the brutal cost of survival.

The Hook

Meet the Main Instigators

Cowardly kings and princely peasants. There are no heroes here, just characters with a vague sense of morality and a penchant for survival. At all costs.


  • Once Captain in the Húrian war-machine. Now rebel in the nation’s dwindling resistance against the invading Easausian Empire. Loira Falds fights on in desperate insurgency, at risk of losing herself, and all that she loves, to the invading scourge from the south.


  • The disavowed and firstborn son of Easaus’ Emperor. Remanded to Húr and given the improbable task of conquering an unwilling nation with too few empirical legions. The Hollow Prince survives on the goodwill of his estranged father.

    TO BE COMPLETED


  • Staunch advisor to the Hollow Prince and ranking member in service to the Easausian Church of Telon, Anika Morglays is as cunning as she is pious. A shrewd politician and survivalist, Clergess Morglays is loyal to only two things in life. Her Prince, and the God.
