Penticore Prime:
Tale of the Exodus
In a world where immense towers rise into geosynchronous orbit, death is not a matter of biology but a choice. In the city of Tulacoss, a majestic dome encloses a vast landscape overflowing with light, color, and incredible architecture. Yet there are reasons why they confine themselves to fifteen cities—facing dangers that threaten to fracture this ancient and powerful civilization.
Candor Romero is a man thrust onto this alien landscape, caught between two worlds by an act of fate. His desperate struggle to reconcile reality threatens to fracture his sanity and end his existence. Yet the clock is ticking, and as the danger grows, Candor discovers more than he could imagine.
Challenging his view of evolution and time, Candor is forced to answer the questions. What if humanity is just a link in the chain of cosmic consciousness? How far would you go to save the ones you love? And who is Jeremiah Strange?

Author's Note
Penticore Prime was one of my favorite novels to write. The dynamic relationships between the characters run more than skin deep. Candor is just a "normal guy" who gets his world turned upside down. And when you add in a dash of childhood trauma and the fate of the universe, the stakes get taken to a whole new level.
​
Along with that, I wanted to craft a society that was utopian in nature. Not perfect, but with a defined sense of self. Penticorians know who they are and their essential role in ensuring their species' continuity.

This version is a rewrite from several years ago. As I continued my lifelong study in the art of writing, it became apparent that I needed to sharpen the story, add and remove elements, make updates, and, as every author knows, edit...edit...edit.

It's the same for Azrael: Dominion. Originally, Azriel, The Angel Chronicles. With all my stories, first, I want you to be entertained, amazed, and thrilled. While woven between that, I want you to feel a deep connection with the characters. So you can celebrate their success, mourn their loss, and identify with the hardships they face.
