Must read 🏆 5-star rating
“If you want a book that will massage your brain, this might be the one. It is not so in a boring way of trying to stuff knowledge down your throat, but the story that is being told is great proof of the power of planning before putting pen to paper.”

"A stellar second installment of the Reign of the North Forest series. The world-building of this realm is impressive, combining narrative elements of medieval fantasy, gene-hacking thriller, cutting-edge sci-fi, visionary fiction, and more, but it is the character depth and variety that make the novel difficult to put down. All in all, this is a chilling, creative, and captivating next installment of a uniquely genre-bending series."

My Story
Writing a novel has always been on my bucket list, but it had only ever been a fun hobby. Working around my day job, I'd tinker with ideas constantly and scribble down inspiration as it came. "Write what you know" is 100% true here. Reign of the North Forest is an adult futuristic political, science fiction series and a reflection of social issues that are important to me.
When I realized I wanted others to experience Eiyesa and wanted to share my beloved characters with the world, I turned my attention to formal publishing. Breaking into a new industry is challenging. With guidance, I kept my focus. And finally, here we are.
I am so grateful.
