Author Description

And at the heart of this promethean creation stands a single figure, destined from birth to be a living conduit between the elemental forces that shaped his people and their worlds.

Ranging from the streets of America to the furthest reaches of time and space, this epic saga will uncover long-hidden secrets from Orion’s past—and provoke the ultimate reckoning for his future!
