THE BOOKS

Jestin Kase and the Masters of Dragon Metal (Book One)
Mankind lost the battle for its soul without knowing. Evil won. And no Chosen Ones are coming to the rescue.
Enter Jestin Kase, a foster kid on the run in Chicago. He finds himself drawn into the underbelly of civilization, where the Three Great Schools of Magic are crippled by their own corruption and unable to push back against the Great Dark. Monsters from Babylonian myth, demons, and the enthralled thrive beneath the notice of everyone. Only one force of good remains: an ancient magic called Dragon Metal. And Jestin is determined to learn its secrets.
But how much of a difference can one person make in a world that's already fallen?
There's no fate.
No destiny.
Only Metal. And those brave enough to wield it.

Jestin Kase and the Terrors of Shadow Metal (Book Two)
Coming May 2023
What happens when you give a group of kids the power to fight the ultimate evil? Trauma.
Now able to harness Dragon Metal, Jestin suffers from crippling panic attacks and visions of memory, pointing to the terrors of his past. The timing couldn’t be worse, as he finds himself up against a mysterious enemy leaving bodies wrapped in chains, a plot to cover Chicago with darkness, and a race toward the fabled First Relic coveted by one of the Three Great Schools of Magic. Not exactly an easy to-do list.
No, this isn’t a dystopian future. It’s our world, a world where mankind has lost the battle for its soul without knowing.
And in this world, there are no chosen ones.
No special destinies.
Only Metal.
And those brave enough to wield it.
