Just 6 Days Left to Back King’s Reckoning!
Happy end of April everyone! I can hardly believe how quickly 2026 is flying by or how much has happened already! Things are starting to cool off down here in the southern hemisphere so winter must be on its way. Maybe I’ll get some skiing in this year (or maybe I’ll see about a little vacation to someplace warm instead xD). We’ll see where the year takes me!
In the meantime, my Kickstarter for the Limited Edition Hardcover of King’s Reckoning is flying high. If you haven’t already pledged to add another one of the special edition hardcovers to your Aaron Hodges collection, don’t forget to hop on over to the page! This will also be your best chance to grab ALL FOUR HARDCOVERS of the Trials of the Aegis series for a discounted price by backing the special series tier.
In other news, I’ve been working hard on a new novel. I still haven’t thought of a title, but it follows a master swordsman who turns his back on his queen and kingdom after learning an uncomfortable truth. It follows his time in exile, hunted by the very people he once fought alongside. I’m hoping to finish off the first draft this week, make some notes on pieces I want to improve, and then launch straight into the second draft!
Alrighty, that’s it from me for now. Don’t forget to help out with the kickstarter before you go!
Write on!

“The powerful will not go quietly. So long as they rule there can be no hope. To save this world, first it must fall…”
The Magisterium branded Kaila Dwyn a monster. She’s stopped trying to prove them wrong. Broken by loss, she no longer cares about rebellions or a better future. She carves a bloody path through the countryside, slaughtering any Warden who dares hunt the Gifted. Some call her a hero. Others a heretic. Kaila alone knows the truth—she’s a coward, fleeing from the wreckage of everything she failed to save.
While Kaila drowns in violence, Theron wages a different battle. The Elysian rebellion is haemorrhaging. Someone is feeding their secrets to the Magisterium, and the noose tightens with each passing day. Desperate, he turns to the last people who should be trusted: the noble houses, now outcasts like the Elysian, have their own score to settle with the crown.
But neither see the greater game being played. Ancient powers have waited centuries for this moment, and they’re not about to let a miner’s daughter or a band of thieves thwart their plans. War is coming—not the one they’ve been fighting, but something far older and more terrible.
The girl who once dreamed of protecting her people now holds their future in her hands.
The reckoning has begun.

“The facts of the Magisterium cannot be challenged. They do not want you thinking for yourselves. Otherwise, someone might realise there are questions they cannot answer.”
Her entire life, Kaila Dwyn has dreamed of joining the Wardens—a noble order of warriors tasked with shielding humanity from evil. By day, she studies under the watchful gaze of the Sisters; by night she trains with her father, preparing for the trials that will decide her fate. She is ready to prove her devotion to the Magisterium and the kingdom of Fresia.
But nothing could prepare Kaila for a thief by the name of Theron.
When he steals forbidden agimet crystals from Kaila’s village, she is framed for the crime. With the entire world turned against her, Kaila must make a choice: surrender herself to the mercy of the Wardens, or flee with Theron, and be forever branded as a traitor to her people.
