The bells should not be ringing

Over a village that should have had more time, the bells start to ring — and Kael has only minutes to become the man he buried years ago.

He takes up the blade he swore he'd never touch again, wakes his son, and rides into a night that will end everything Ronan has ever known.

The Story

Fear, dressed as virtue

Ahead of them lies a faith that conquers not with armies, but with fear dressed as virtue — and a father who must decide how much of the truth a thirteen-year-old boy can survive.

The Fallen Faith is a story about the lies that grow when no one dares question them, and the family caught in the fire when someone finally does.

I

A Buried Man

The blade he swore he'd never lift again — and the years of quiet it cost him to put it down.

II

A Watching Son

Ronan is thirteen. Before the sun rises he will learn what his father truly was, and what the world truly is.

III

A Gentle Empire

No armies. No chains. Only a faith that teaches you to be afraid — and to call that fear devotion.

Some lies you can live beside for years. Until the morning they come ringing for your door.
— Before the bells
