Book I
What if death was just the start of your nightmare?
Waking up in the Afterworld, a broken realm ruled by foreign gods, Leon must navigate a world where souls are currency and power is forged from pain. Trapped in a land of betrayal and broken promises, he must fight to survive a reality twisted by ancient magic and ruthless design. As he uncovers the truth behind a mysterious mark on his arm, Leon is drawn into a war older than mankind—a war that could unravel the fabric of reality itself.
For fans of The Dark Tower by Stephen King and The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, Afterworld is a dark fantasy filled with dreamlike landscapes and brutal battles that will leave you questioning what lies beyond the veil and the price one must pay to survive. Don’t wait—grab your copy today!
The first edition of Afterworld was published April 14th, 2020 as an Ebook and Paperback. The audiobook was released two months later in June, but was soon pulled from the store due to technical and sound issues. It is being remade into a full-cast audiobook and expected to release by the end of 2026. You can listen to the previous version of the audiobook for free on the official YouTube channel.

“Power makes the weak blind and the strong weak. Ye think because ye’ve gained power that ye’ve somehow become immune to defeat? That because ye were stronger than most of us ‘hydronics’ that ye’re now invincible? Ye are but a child in the way ye see the world, but I suppose that is the way of the dark universe.”
