About

Project Quest is a fantasy universe that I’ve been working with for several years now. The primary work is a trilogy of novels that focuses on three main characters and their “quest” to stop evil from spreading in their world.

More than that, however, my hope is that Project Quest will be a story about people. Yes, they’re trying to save the world, but more importantly, they’re learning and growing into better individuals. Ultimately, Project Quest is less about the quest itself and more about the people on it.

The three main characters are:

Adrien, the crown prince of Reystrell. Born with a power that is illegal in the nation he’s destined to rule, he struggles with the idea of filling his father’s shoes one day. He wants to prove himself by becoming a battle-tested hero too, but is that really the only way to become a worthy king?

Myrina, a Lamorian soldier who finds herself wrapped up in this mess during a diplomatic expedition to Reystrell. When an attack on the Reyan palace throws her and Adrien together, she’s tasked with escorting him to safety. What should have been an short trip turns into an international search for a myth, and Myrina grapples with the role that she will play in their journey.

And finally, Silas, a bounty hunter and loner. After a routine job turns out to be a sham, he finds himself wrapped up in Adrien and Myrina’s quest for better or worse. He makes every effort to help them, but he is also forced to face the consequences of his decisions and the weight of the secrets that he keeps.

While these are the main characters, Project Quest has also led to the creation of dozens of other characters whom I love dearly. Most of them will only play a small role in the books I’m working on now, but I hope that their stories will also get told one day too. That’s partly why I consider this project to be a “universe” rather than just a series of books – there are so many stories within it that are waiting to be told, and I can’t wait until the day I can finally share them with you!
