The Metalist's Journey Series

Join The Metalist’s Journey and follow Irwin as he navigates the ruthless world of Urthis—a place where Telepaths rule over all; where shapeshifters can lurk in the shadows or trail you from the air; element yielding people can steal your breath or turn you into ash—a world that Irwin’s people are not native to. But he keeps a secret, a power so unique that could change Urthis forever, and if he were to be found out—if someone with evil intentions were to get their hands on him—the fate of the world could be at stake.


Book 1:  Secrets of Urthis

When Irwin meets the captivating telepath Yace and her fierce shapeshifting companion Kipp, he dares to dream of belonging. But their fragile bond shatters as Yace vanishes after a devastating encounter with her past. Hunted by the tyrannical Ishik Empire and haunted by shadows that shouldn’t exist, Irwin must master his abilities before they consume him.

Every ally could be an enemy. Every choice could lead to destruction. And somewhere in the darkness, Yace’s screams echo in his mind, driving him toward a confrontation that will shake the foundations of Urthis itself.
