The Outcast General
For fans of clever rogues, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes fantasy intrigue.
Dexter Falk and Lara Sigurd, the striking priestess of Zoryn with snow-white hair, are savoring a rare moment of peace in Tallesin when the sky-father sends her an urgent vision.
Trouble brews in Corfu, far across the Tiburn in South Gaugan, where the ruthless outcast Krugan leads a fanatical army bent on conquest. Heeding Zoryn’s command, the pair races by ship and road to confront him. There they plunge into bloody skirmishes and political intrigue until Dexter confronts Krugan in a desperate duel that leaves him fighting for his life.
With Lara at his side and the gods watching closely, their fierce passion is tested like never before.
Award-winning author John Spearman delivers another sweeping tale of gods, greed, and gritty adventure—where a silver tongue and a sharp blade are the only things standing between survival and oblivion.
One outcast general. One white-haired priestess. Gods who love to challenge their mortal agents.

The Storm King
For fans of clever rogues, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes fantasy intrigue.
In a world where gods meddle and mortals pay the price, one man stands between order and chaos.
Dexter Falk is no ordinary problem-solver. Touched by Sylvaris—the fickle god of merchants, travelers, and thieves—he possesses gifts that make him the perfect man for impossible jobs.
When a wealthy spice trader’s shipment vanishes despite holy protection, Falk takes the case, only to uncover corruption at the heart of a powerful temple. Along the caravan route across a storm-lashed isthmus, he meets Agatha Voss: a fierce, disguised woman with callused hands, a hidden knife, and a past darker than the Kryyder Islands. Once sold into a monstrous marriage to save her family, she now lives as a wagon driver, hiding from the man who wants her dead.
As bandits strike, priests lie, and ancient pacts unravel, Falk and Agatha forge an alliance that blazes into passion. But the price of justice may cost them everything.
Award-winning author John Spearman delivers a sweeping tale of gods, greed, and gritty adventure—where a silver tongue and a sharp blade are the only things standing between survival and oblivion.
One missing shipment. One forbidden love. One god who loves a good joke.
