The last thing Lucian ever wanted to be was a mage.
Everything changed when humanity discovered the interstellar gates. No one knows how, or why, but this event corresponded to the rise of the mages, those born with mysterious metaphysical abilities.
But the power to bend reality is far from a good thing. No one understands why the mages' powers lead to madness, in a deadly disease known only as "the fraying."
Exiled from Earth and marked by magic, Lucian must travel to the distant world of Volsung. He is to become a Talent, a mage dedicated to developing his powers in service to the League—even if cultivating those abilities will one day kill him.
But during the long voyage, a mysterious sorceress calls everything into question. She prophesies he is marked by the Manifold, the source of all magic. It might even be possible for the fraying to be cured.
Lucian must choose: to continue down the path prescribed to him. Or answer the call of destiny...

I'm not just an author: I'm a husband, a father of two young boys, and a full-time cat servant. And somehow, over the years, I've found a way to pen 20+ novels, most of them in long and epic series.
I'm a long-time sci-fi and fantasy aficionado. I first fell in love with both genres by reading Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and Asimov (and too many others to count). From there, I was completely hooked on new worlds and epic adventures.
I've always wanted to write a series that combined two of my favorite genres: space opera and epic fantasy. The Starsea Cycle was born out of that desire.
Besides writing, I love to travel, be outdoors, and spend time with my family. When I'm not doing those things, I'm buried in a doorstopper fantasy novel or hunting for my next read.
Starsea Book 1: The Mages of Starsea
Exiled and marked by magic, Lucian journeys to a distant world to become a mage, knowing his powers will one day lead to his demise.
But a prophecy and a chance at a cure upend his fate. Will he choose the path society has chosen for him, or heed the call of destiny?
Starsea Book 2: The Orb of Binding
Lucian has achieved the impossible: admission to the prestigious Volsung Academy. But survival is another matter.
As a Novice, he navigates Academy politics as he learns the fundamentals of magic, all while dodging the machinations of his peers. Being talented can be deadly, and expulsion means losing his only home.
Starsea Book 3: The Rifts of Psyche
Lucian must do the impossible: escape the Mad Moon, where frayed mages, monsters, and a hostile environment make survival nearly impossible.
Joined by a captain, a frayed mage, and a Mage-Knight, Lucian embarks on a quest across Psyche to find a way off the moon. But the cunning Sorceress-Queen has other plans, and those plans will change everything.
Lucian has defeated the Sorceress-Queen of Psyche, but his fight is far from over.
The Prophecy of the Seven is his only hope for finding the Aspects of Magic and saving humanity from destruction. But the prophecy leads him to the Golden Palace of Dara, the Queen's seat of power.
Lucian must harness new powers and face deadly enemies as he fights for survival and the fate of the Worlds.
Lucian's quest for the Orbs of Starsea is far from over.
The key to finding them is the long-lost Prophecy of the Seven, and Lucian must return to Volsung to uncover its location.
