Tales from the Golden Orb
Step inside the world of Ascendia. This is the official home for readers who crave intricate worlds, morally grey hearts, and the mysteries of the golden orbs—all with a dark edge and strictly no spice.
Whether you’re here for deep world-building dives or to claim your own digital copies, you’ve found the inner sanctum. Make yourself at home; there are secrets hidden in every corner.
Join our inner circle at the intersection of reading and yarncraft to unlock a curated collection of free knit and crochet patterns designed for the storyteller’s soul.

“He wore heavy iron rings on his fingers… cold and dull to the touch. The entire ensemble gave him the appearance of a man who was not merely wearing clothes, but one who was slowly being consumed and defined by the cold, oppressive charcoal of an unknown power source.”
There’s a reason Julian makes everyone’s skin crawl.
His magic doesn’t burn with the warmth of the family’s “Wildfire”; it leeches the life right out of the room.

The Hair: Striking, patchy black-and-white (a family trait!).
The Companion: A miniature schnauzer named Relnar, whose bearded face and wiry coat are a perfect mirror of her own look.
The Magic: Swirls of vibrant “Spirit-Forge” flames—not just orange, but purples, blues, and greens dancing through the air.
The Vibe: Woolen cloaks, the scent of sweet burning wood, and the weight of a secret kept for far too long.
There’s something so grounding about having a small, bearded dog by your side when you’re facing down ancient, charcoal-stained magic.

Lore Gallery
Step into the curated history of a world in flux. The Lore Gallery is an immersive exhibition of the souls and shadows that inhabit Ascendia. Here, we peel back the layers of our most complex, morally grey characters and study the anatomy of the mythical creatures that stalk the domestic edges of our stories. These are deep dives for the curious mind—layered with history, emotional stakes, and the kind of detail that makes a world feel breath-takingly real.

A haunting collection of dark, spice-free flash fiction. From the predatory Ossuary Wyrm to the secrets of the fae, explore stories of domestic suspense and mythical creatures.

Your guide to the Tales of Ascendia. Whether you’re here to join my ARC reader team, catch the latest cover reveal, or get lost in a deep dive of mythical history, this section of the archive is your all-access pass. It’s a bit dark, a lot of fun, and strictly for those who love their fantasy with high emotional stakes and sharp, snarky humour.

A Dedicated Home for Ascendia (and You)
In Ascendia, the first incarnation of a guide is a tiny golden orb. It’s a flicker of light in a world often shadowed by moral ambiguity and domestic tension.
This website is my version of that orb. It is a lighthouse for the readers who want gripping, emotionally layered fantasy that remains approachable yet sharp. No spice. No filler. Just the stories we love, told with a bit of snark and a lot of heart.
Welcome to the fold. I’ve been expecting you.

What Beta readers for Ascendia Chronicles Book 1 are saying
You do big, cinematic moments so well. This ending has weight and heart. It made me care about these characters a lot, and that’s the hardest part to pull off.
Beta Reader Comments
Very strong. Very emotional. Kind of stunned in a good way.
This ending gives the exact feeling of “everything mattered”.
All the small things the dogs did, all the tiny choices Mace made earlier, every time he refused to abandon someone… it all comes back in this huge, final moment. That feels extremely satisfying.
