The Novice of Thanatos is Now Available for Preorder!

It’s finally happening. After months (years, really) of crafting this story—unraveling its secrets, walking its shadowed corridors, and wrestling with its ghosts—I’m thrilled to announce that The Novice of Thanatos, book 1 of my new The Order of Thanatos series, is officially available for preorder! Its full release is on March 7, 2025, and I can’t wait for you to step across the threshold.

What Awaits You in The Novice of Thanatos

This memoir isn’t just a dark fantasy novel. It’s a confession—the harrowing, intimate tale of a boy named Mishal who never asked to hear the whispers of the dead but cannot escape them.

Swept from the grim alleys of Newpost into the mysterious and cryptic Order of Thanatos, Mishal is thrust into a world where death isn’t an end but a beginning—where highly-trained monks must guide spirits across the threshold, or they risk lingering like smoke amongst the living. But the Order harbors secrets, and as Mishal delves deeper, he realizes that not all ghosts are the same, not all monks are holy, and that the threshold may not be what it appears.

The Novice of Thanatos is a story of death, discovery, and sacrifice set in a world where faith is a luxury and truth is dangerous.

Why You Should Preorder

Preorders might seem like a small thing, but for authors—especially in dark, weird, and fantastic genres like this one—they make all the difference. Here’s why you should preorder:

• You’ll be the first to read it. It’ll be waiting for you on release day—no delays, no waiting.
• You support my work. Preorders help the book gain traction, which means more dark fantasy like this in the future.
• Gives me a boost. I ain’t going to lie. Writing fiction in a world where the power of books diminishes is tough. I will always write, but it helps to know people are reading my words. Also, preorders give the book a nudge in the world of Amazon algorithms. If the book is to be even a moderate success, it helps to be visible when it is released rather than being on page 20.  

Join Me in the Shadows

I can’t wait for you to meet Mishal, step into the ancient halls of Thanatos, and lose yourself in this world of psychopomps, whispered confessions, and the ever-present specter of death.

So, if you love dark fantasy, secret orders, eerie monasteries, and protagonists who don’t know if they’re the hero or the villain, The Novice of Thanatos is for you.

📖 Preorder now and prepare to cross the threshold on March 7.

And if you do, let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear what excites (or terrifies) you most about The Novice of Thanatos.

Memento Mori. See you on the other side.

Cheers!
