When Heaven comes down to Earth, destiny is rewritten.
Inspired by the Book of Genesis, ancient Mesopotamia, and Babylon — a fantasy series that blends biblical allegory, prophetic mystery, and cosmic warfare into the making of a true king.

A rare fantasy series that explores redemption, destiny, and the making of a true king across three books — The Gate of Aleph, The Lost Tablets of Iyar, and The Shields of the Earth.
He escaped his father. He can't outrun the war between heaven and earth.
Shammah never wanted the throne. He wanted libraries, not kingdoms, and he wanted nothing to do with the goddess his father served. But when King Aikah falls gravely ill and he's summoned home, Shammah must return to the City of Kings. Mysterious beings intercept him and lead him toward Mount Aleph, a place of legend and dread, where visions, trials, and a power more ancient than the kingdom will reveal the truth about who Shammah is and who he was always meant to become.
They buried secrets for a reason.
Iyar isn't a hero. He's a merchant, and a ruthless one. When King Shammah's wedding to Lady Tamiym draws thousands to the city, Iyar arrives in a caravan full of goods and a head full of profit calculations. He also arrives carrying doubts. His journey has forced him to guard unwelcome secrets, secrets buried deep in his family's past that threaten the kingdom itself. Now the man who has spent his life looking out for himself must decide whether greed is still enough.
Dragons are a myth. Until they rise from the mist.
King Shammah has endured the loss of two children, the slow unraveling of his marriage to Queen Tamiym, and the treacherous rains killing his people. He refuses to believe the whispers that the strange green mist gathering over his kingdom signals the return of something ancient and terrible. Shammah's brittle peace collapses as Midvar's chancellor arrives with a gift that Tamiym insists is a veiled declaration of war. Betrayal lurks in every shadow surrounding the throne, and an ancient enemy emerges from the mist as the floodwaters rise. Shammah only wanted peace, but he must now embrace war or lose everything he loves.
