"The world is yours...to destroy."

4 years ago, Vance's mother went missing. Everyone thought she was dead...but Vance knew better. What he did not know was that his search for her would take him across multiple parallel dimensions filled with psychotic killers, demented warlords, righteous angels and bloodthirsty demons. As Vance learns more about his lineage and his new surroundings, the stakes will rise, until his journey takes him to the end of the universe itself, and he comes face to face with the one who created it.

Those who enjoy descriptive, deep stories with plot threads linked across multiple chapters and strategic, action-packed battles will not be disappointed here. As human as it is otherworldly, at its core this story is about family, love, loss, and growth midst tragedy.

"Some claim life a nightmare, and wouldst do well t'off themselves!" Saffron continued, spiraling around on the skinny light fixture. "For others, 'tis an illustrious dreamscape, a cacophony of wondrous events and excitements!"


"Forsooth, we must live suicidally," Saffron exclaimed. "For every moment doth herald the end."
