A Fractured Reality. A Desperate Fight for Survival. A Past That Shouldn’t Exist.
Trapped 189 years in the past, Cullen Aven is thrust into the First Inferno—a scorched mirror of his world where werewolves stalk ruined streets and danger lurks in every shadow.
Together with Sharael Maldeen—a mysterious mage who greets each wonder with childlike awe, yet guards secrets that may have sparked the world’s ruin—and DagGar, a cat-like glider who wields a lightning-charged blade and has a knack for mischief and ill-timed humour, Cullen must survive Sansa’s twisted landscape, challenge demonic forces and relentless threats, navigate unseen dangers, and confront the fragile bond growing between him and Sharael.
With no clear way home, Cullen must fight to endure the Inferno—or be consumed by it.
Self-employed computer technician by day and lifelong storyteller by dawn, I grew up in Sherwood Park, Alberta, where secret tabletop RPG sessions sparked my creativity. After a rebellious detour that included forging my own diploma, I eventually settled on Vancouver Island, raising a family and refining my craft. Inspired by friendship, loss, and decades of world-building, I’ve spent nearly 40 years writing science fiction and fantasy, including The Dark Razor Chronicles.View all by Mike Carmel
