Rise of the Sovereign Guardian: A Dark Gaslamp Fantasy Action Novella

Sometimes, a storm is just a storm. Sometimes, it's the harbinger of ancient evil.

When former priest Pel seeks shelter from a raging tempest in the port city of Geth Rell, he expects nothing more than tea and solitude. But when Dzokaya — a desperate half-human girl — requests his help solving her parents' brutal murder, Pel discovers his quiet exile is over.

The storm isn't natural. It's a weapon wielded by a foe not seen for centuries — and it's intimately connected to Dzokaya's slaughtered family.

As another unnatural death appears in the city and an otherworldly horror emerges from the darkness, Pel and Dzokaya must uncover the truth before this ancient malevolence devours every soul in Geth Rell. But stopping a force that has slumbered for ages will demand everything Pel has left — his skills, his courage, and, most of all, his faith.

The fate of a nation hangs in the balance. Can a disillusioned priest become the guardian his country desperately needs?

Rise of the Sovereign Guardian delivers The Name of the Wind meets The Lies of Locke Lamora in a heart-pounding dark fantasy that launches an unforgettable trilogy.

Perfect for readers who love complex heroes, relentless action, and epic battles between light and shadow.
