Ongoing Projects
A Full-Length Futuristic Fantasy Novel
A character-driven narrative that explores morality, trauma, and identity through a psychologically-driven magic system based on the Seven Virtues and the Seven Sins:
When a runaway boy encounters a near-death experience and comes out of it with a Virtue he never wanted, he calls it a curse. Society calls it a blessing. However long he tries to live in hiding, the world learns of his powers and demands that he takes responsibility for them by joining the Enforcer program, an elite Sin-fighting division in law enforcement. The one who discovered and recruited him? His best friend from childhood. In a city full of his regrets and past struggles, he must now navigate power and responsibility alongside the very faces he once left behind.
