I’ve gotten a lot of questions on this one. I suppose that I may not have made this particularly clear on my previous posts… so I’ll try harder… Yes, Damnation is a sequel… technically. It is a follow-up novel to Divinity though dealing with an entirely different cast in the same universe: Do Divinity characters make an appearance? Yes, but mostly as cameos. Does this … Read More Damnation… sequel?

This is a bittersweet moment for me. Up until now, General Xaphan and the entire cast of Damnation were all my own. They were characters that I created, gave personalities, and assembled into their story… but no longer. Now they are yours to go on an adventure with. After years of bleeding and sweating over creating and improving them, I have finally decided to let … Read More Damnation… Released!

VI Days earlier, Irius had an annoyed expression on his face as he looked out on the ancient, underground city of Maris Duengar. The city had stood for uncountable ages, but over the last sixty five years, engineers had taken note of several small cracks in the supports all around the cavern. A sense of dread came over them as rumors of what … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 6)

V After dinner, Taryn went back to her room to change. She looked through her wardrobe to try and decide what to wear. Elven semi-formal or human… Her closet was made up of both human and elven attire. While most of the rest of her family had assimilated into human culture and thus never really bothered with traditional, or even modern, elven clothes, Taryn … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 5)

She got off of Glide, who proceeded to park itself in the shed. Taryn walked up the stairs and headed inside, back to her room. She curled up on her bed and went … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 4)

III “Today is going by so slowly… too slowly…” Tired of conversing with Sentinel, Taryn shut him down and lay back on her bed for a few hours. Finally, she decided that she needed to get off campus and try to sort out these feelings. She needed to piece everything together, and staring at four walls wasn’t going to do it. She stood … Read More Another Abandoned Work… Taryn, The Legacy (Chapter 3)
