In a dimension where reality bends and betrayal breathes, rookie smuggler Nate stumbles into Ipsulor—a realm of warped gravity, rogue portals, and one rule: trust no one. His mission? Deliver the Siphon, a device powerful enough to dismantle the Rifters Guild’s ironclad control over interdimensional travel. But when a cunning con artist, Kysta, strips him of the Siphon—and his dignity—Nate’s simple job spirals into a lethal game of shifting allegiances.

Kysta, revealed as the brilliant double-agent Laneea, plays both sides: selling the Siphon to her volatile ex-lover, crime lord Kroost, while manipulating Nate through her unwitting pawn, the enigmatic Jeek. Meanwhile, the fanatical Rifters Guild deploys Ziidik, a merciless enforcer, to hunt down every traitor—including Laneea’s crew—with sadistic precision.

Teamed with Avee, a shape-shifting guide as unpredictable as Ipsulor itself, Nate navigates neon-drenched criminal empires and the Guild’s slaughterhouses. But when a reckless venture into the Grey Realm binds an ancient specter to Laneea’s psyche, the stakes detonate. As factions collide in the labyrinthine city of Fornryre, attraction ignites between Nate and Laneea—even as her spectral hitchhiker plots its own catastrophic rebirth.

In a crescendo of chaos, Laneea gambles everything to unleash the specter into Ipsulor’s portals, crippling the Guild in a storm of disintegrating enforcers. But victory bleeds into dread: the entity within her stirs, hungry. Reality fractures. Trust shatters. And Nate realizes too late that in Ipsulor, every alliance is a trapdoor—and survival demands becoming as ruthless as the dimension itself.

A high-octane blend of interdimensional heists, psychic horrors, and noir-esque betrayal, SIPHON AND SPECTER Part 1 pits flawed schemers against collapsing realities—where the greatest threat isn’t the Guild… but what they’ve unleashed. Free on Kindle.

In an ancient future where air is currency, survival comes at a brutal cost.

Ten years ago, climate collapse and global war shattered the atmosphere, forcing the Empire and its colonies underground. Now, oxygen is scarce, food scarcer, and breathing has become a privilege reserved for the rich.

In just a few years, the underground oxygen supply became dangerously low, and so began The Suffocation—a violent reckoning where oxygen tubes are torn from the living, and chaos reigns in the depths of the Trenches. In the shadows of this dying world, three children—known only as the Girl, the Boy, and the Child—their names lost to legend, cling to survival.

When a deadly raid destroys their camp, the trio embarks on a desperate journey toward Nova Heofon—a mythical city where it is rumored that the air is clean and freedom might still exist. But in the tunnels of the Empire, danger comes from every shadow: mutated beasts, bloodthirsty bandits, and secrets more suffocating than the lack of air itself.

And when they finally reach Nova Heofon, they’re faced with a truth more devastating than the world they left behind. $0.99 on Kindle.

Bound by the ruins of a shared past and the tragedy at Ash Haven, they carry the weight of a loss that fractured more than just their friendship. As Kiradan teeters on the edge of final ruin, Orznak must decide whether hope is a lie told by the dying or the one thing that might still save them all. $2.99 on Kindle.
