In the Shadow of Olympus — Fantasy Was Broken. I Came to Break It Harder.

So… you think you’re ready for an epic fantasy that doesn’t hold back? Where gods bleed, mortals bite back, and the world is one bad decision away from unraveling? Good. Because The Throneless Realms Saga isn’t here to play nice.


This is mythology re-forged in fire—full of brutal battles, divine power grabs, and characters so morally gray they make storm clouds look cheerful. It’s gritty. It’s cinematic. And it dares to ask: what happens when the gods lose control?

Welcome to a world where gods don't just whisper from the heavens—they stomp into battle, shatter kingdoms, manipulate fate, and occasionally get stabbed by mortals who are absolutely done with their divine nonsense.



In the Shadow of Olympus kicks off The Throneless Realms Saga—my unapologetic, gut-punching, genre-shaking debut fantasy series. This isn’t your typical “chosen one saves the world with friendship” tale. This is blood in the snow. Fire in the sky. A war between gods, and the broken mortals trying to survive it.


From the first page, you’re dropped into a world where the Greek and Roman pantheons clash like rival mafia families with way too much power and zero chill. The rules? Already broken. The balance? Teetering. The stakes? Biblical.


You won’t find half-measures here. In the Shadow of Olympus throws you straight into a storm of prophecy, vengeance, and power where no one walks away unscarred. Think crackling purple lightning, shattered temples, and characters clawing their way through trauma, loyalty, betrayal—and the looming threat of full-blown divine annihilation.


This isn’t just mythology reimagined. It’s mythology rebuilt with heart, grit, and a healthy dose of chaos. You'll meet warriors with haunted pasts, gods with too much ego and not enough mercy, and flawed heroes forced to choose between survival and sacrifice.


If you’ve ever read a fantasy book and thought, “I love this, but I wish it hurt more and hit harder,”—congrats. You’ve found your new obsession.


So whether you're here for an eBook, a paperback to dog-ear and destroy, or a hardcover signed with probably-too-much-coffee-in-my-system energy—I promise you this:


The journey starts In the Shadow of Olympus. But it sure as hell won’t end there.
