An Angel Behind Black Curtains

History remembers the suicide pact. It forgot the daughter.

In the secluded peaks of Berchtesgaden, Klara lives a life of untouchable privilege. To the world, she is a ghost. To Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, she is the secret legacy of a thousand-year Reich. Raised in the opulence of a crumbling empire, Klara’s childhood is a tapestry of elite theater, mountain skiing, and the absolute devotion of her father’s inner circle.

But as the Soviet drums thunder toward Berlin, the gilded cage shatters.

Trapped in the suffocating concrete of the Führerbunker, Klara’s 12th birthday becomes a funeral for the world she knew. With her father’s finger on the trigger of a final, family suicide, her mother commits the ultimate act of treason: she chooses life for her daughter.

Smuggled out of the subterranean tomb by Jan Helmbrecht—a high-ranking SS officer with a shadow of his own—Klara must navigate a landscape of fire, betrayal, and ruins. As they flee through the jagged remains of occupied territory, the girl who was promised an empire discovers the truth about the man she called "Papa." To survive the peace, she must first escape the father who would rather see her dead than defeated.

                                                                  The Final Conversation

History remembers him as the man who washed his hands. They forgot the man who couldn't wash away the nightmares.

Pontius Pilate is a man of Rome—a decorated soldier, a favored protégé of Emperor Tiberius, and a devoted father to his adopted daughter, Adah Julia. But the rewards of Cappadocia are traded for the dust of Judaea, a volatile province that will become his undoing.

What begins as a routine execution of a local Nazarene spirals into a haunting obsession. As the sun sets on the hills of Jerusalem, Pilate is plunged into a world of visions, denial, and a bone-deep torment that Roman steel cannot protect him from. The truth of that day is enough to reshape the world, but for Pilate, the ultimate cost of the crucifixion isn't measured in empires—it’s measured in the fate of the child he loves most.

The Grissum's Tale of Behn Farling-the Elvan Supertramp

Behn Farling has the cheekbones of a god, the bank account of a king, and the common sense of a concussed garden gnome.

As the heir to Forgrynnal’s most obnoxious fortune, Behn’s future is a glittering cage of arranged marriages and soul-crushing etiquette. But Behn doesn't want a throne—he wants adventure. Or, at least, what he thinks adventure looks like from the safety of a velvet balcony.

Trading his silk tunics for an itchy knapsack, Behn hits the open road to find himself. Instead, he finds hostile empires, questionable sleeping arrangements, and the startling realization that "the wild" involves significantly less indoor plumbing than advertised. From the perfumed chambers of beauties to the sharp end of an imperial conspiracy, Behn is about to learn that if you leave home with a knapsack, you’d better come back with a very large sword—and a better excuse for your parents.

This is book one in the series of Pangaea: The Elvan Chronicles

Coming this April! Under A Fallen Sky series!

From the ashes of Konigsberg

In the ruins of a fallen Reich, survival is the only law. Johan Kuhn, the son of a high-ranking SS officer, is thrust into the freezing, visceral nightmare of the East Prussian forests. Alongside his sister, he flees the encroaching Soviet tide, finding himself the de facto leader of a desperate band of orphans and disenfranchised soldiers—men left behind by a war that has already moved on.

Amidst the ruins of a broken world, Johan finds an unexpected light: Mila, a beautiful survivor whose spirit matches his own. But in a landscape defined by starvation and silver-tongued betrayal, love is a dangerous luxury.

Their journey from the dark, haunted woods to the rebuilt streets of West Germany is only the beginning. In the frantic vacuum of the post-war era, Johan discovers that the skills used to evade the Red Army are perfectly suited for a new kind of battle. Enticed by the lucrative, high-stakes underworld of international smuggling, he must decide how much of his soul he is willing to trade for a future.

In a world of new intrigues and old ghosts, Johan’s climb to fortune may lead to the ultimate sanctuary—or his absolute destruction.
