Thrilling adventures! Treacherous foes! A time-lost secret, and a band of courageous misfits fighting like hell to recover it…

The Precipice is my work-in-progress fantasy novel about a mysterious abyss that grants people powers based on their worst fears, and a found family of trauma survivors who must rise above those fears to escape its depths.


Leap or die. The choice is yours, boy.”

This was the cruel ultimatum presented to twenty-two-year-old Asher by the militant, theocratic chieftains of Lumina—a reclusive, cliff-dwelling people who safeguard a mysterious ritual from outsiders.

For it is time-honored: when a Luminite comes of age, they will undergo the rite of Freefall. A terrifying abyss stands as a trial to those fearless enough to surrender to gravity’s influence.

Those who succeed in this trial return with burdensome powers, but an incomplete memory of the experience. Those who fail to return are presumed lost. Those who choose not to leap at all are forbidden from leaving Lumina—a grave offense punishable by death.

An offense Asher committed in desperation…

To Asher, his foiled escape attempt was justified. His brother Rohan leapt eight years prior and perished—leaving him bereaved, angry, and with the lonesome responsibility of mending their broken family. Rohan is only one of the many mounting lives lost to the Freefall ritual each year.

But as grim and powerful forces begin emerging from the abyss for the first time in history, Asher plunges to the depths and meets the unforeseen: a society of long-forgotten initiates, trapped in a perilous, dreamlike realm.

In order to stop this new threat and return home, Asher must partner with unlikely allies, master frightful abilities, and resurface the dreadful truth of his people’s history—and himself.

The world is at a tipping point, and nothing will be the same

But a courageous few will face themselves and brave the leap into a brighter tomorrow.
