Introducing Jaxel Cain: A Rift Walker Rises

Discover the Beginning of an Epic Fantasy Adventure

Hey fantasy fans,

I’m thrilled to finally share the opening chapters of my upcoming fantasy series The Last Rift Walker. This story has been years in the making, and today, I’m inviting YOU to be part of its journey.

You can now read the Prologue and the first three chapters—for free. Yep, totally free. Just a taste of what's to come in a world where ancient bloodlines, forbidden magic, and a deadly curse collide across realms.

What’s It About?

The Riftwalker Legacy opens with a desperate act: Giddian, brother to the king, is racing through a besieged castle, a baby wrapped in burgundy swaddled in his arms. This isn’t just any baby. This is Jaxel Cain, born with the ancient and cursed Mark of Cain—the ability to walk between worlds. As demons breach the gates and shadow armies rise, the fate of an entire realm hangs on a single choice: betrayal or redemption.

Fast forward 17 years to a seemingly normal teenager, Jaxel Cain, a wrestling prodigy on the brink of a scholarship and a new life. But fate has other plans. One moment he’s celebrating a hard-earned victory, and the next—he’s thrust through a mysterious rift, landing in a realm that’s only lived in his bloodline's myth.
