Six-book series
The Sun Maker Saga took over a decade in the making. It began as a simple fantasy and eventually took on the veneer of science fiction.
This is where I suggest you begin—with book one: Ruin Star.
The story is about unlikely individuals born in the most extreme and impoverished of circumstances and are swept up in an conflict exponentially bigger than they ever imagined.
They have secrets, dreams, and powers few can comprehend—and they each must choose between aiding or stopping the enemy of all existence: Tyranny.

Reviews:
“A gripping story of a dying world, where a novel Ruin Star ever rules the skies. The arc follows three compelling characters, whose lives intertwine in a cruel world governed by Wardens. Replete with action, romance and the mixing of futuristic, advanced societies with demolished peoples. Beautifully written, and engaging.”
