High Fantasy meets Whodunit Mystery

Epic fantasy is my first love, but sometimes I want to explore a new world without the epic battles. I also enjoy reading murder mysteries and thought it would be great to read about an amateur sleuth solving crimes in a high fantasy world. That was the premise for my debut novel Honor Bound.

Honor Bound

The Naergoth Mysteries

Book 1

Justice is blind. But some truths demand to be seen.

In the port city of Shiran, a wealthy merchant sprawls dead at his desk. With society guided by human gods, the death of someone thrice-blessed hints at darker motives among the most devoted.

Senior Judge Borgen is assigned the case. A rumored favorite of the god of law and justice, the investigation exposes uncomfortable truths that make him question his beliefs. Needing an unbiased view, Borgen turns to Neia, a non-human researcher.

Solving a murder holds little interest for Neia. After losing the ability to see threads - the emotional connections between beings - she just wants to be left alone. But a life-debt can’t be ignored.

While investigating, Neia’s faulty vision reveals a strange haze around negative emotions and various dead bodies. Intrigued by the anomaly, she ignores the murder to study the haze.

Neia’s preoccupation with the haze frustrates Borgen, but the darkness she sees around the gods terrifies him.

What do you write?

I write in several genres of fantasy: epic, cozy, and mystery. My debut novel, Honor Bound, falls in the fantasy mystery/cozy mystery genres.

No Romance: If you're looking for enemies to lovers, slow burn, or any other romance plot lines, then I am not the author for you. I enjoy reading a good romance, but it's not something I write.

No Grimdark: While my characters go through struggles and traumas, I do not write dark and gritty scenes, excessive violence, or morally grey characters.
