   One man's journey to remember his past...
                                                    ...and discover his future.
                      Can the foretold future be changed?

Anathema Story is told from the perspective of a young man without his memories. Awakening on a lonely beach and covered in blood, he must begin his journey to discover who he is and what happened to him. Along the way he finds old and new friends and enemies, all with a motive of their own--and he must face the difficult journey of learning who to trust even when it seems impossible.

The Magic Kingdom
Statistics: 16 chapters; 130 pages; 41,538 words; 12p.Times font 1.5 spacing; finished July 3, 2007
   A ruler who lusts after power will always fall... but he'll drag an entire nation down with him.
         This tale tells how greed can destroy a nation from the inside out.
     This is the tale of the Magic Kingdom.

The Magic Kingdom is a prequel to Anathema Story, taking place nearly a thousand years before. The Magic Kingdom is embroiled in a bitter civil war, between the faction still loyal to the king--the Loyalists--and the revolutionaries, or Firebrands. Shino Hamasaki is a Magician by blood and a Firebrand soldier, but his magic is weak, rendering him a societal outcast. He's wandered through life aimlessly, his only goal to keep near his adoptive father, the only man who ever cared for him--the Firebrand General Lloyd Avery. But the razing of Vallis by Loyalist soldiers will drive Shino away from everything he thought he knew and fling him into the center of the civil war to learn for himself what he fights for.

Magus Story (Working Title)
Status: Unfinished
   Ever since the Masters first set foot on her, Deva'al has been a land riddled with deep, dark secrets--secrets that remained even when their creators fell.
         Still breathing below lie living puzzles that threaten to tear the world apart.
   For regardless of how things seem on the surface, there are always darker deeds formed in the shadows...

Magus Story (working title) is the sequel to Anathema Story (all are to be read in order written, not chronological order). Four years have passed since the birth of the fledgling republic Eldevaal, and already times are changing some more. The first president has been voted out of office and the new one doesn't like Alexander. He can't kill a national hero, but he can send him away--and he ships him off to discover land to the east. But Alex and the others find a lot more than they bargained for. They don't just find land, they find a fallen empire. They find the ancient Kingdom of Magic.
