Awakener
AWAKENER is a Science Fantasy about a disgraced commander who, when sent to die on a planet about to be devoured by a mad god, must choose between redeeming himself with the military or opposing them for a cause he believes in. The right choice means more than survival; it means a renewal of faith in others and himself.
AWAKENER is a character-driven science fantasy full of lush alien worlds, gunless magic battles in space, and truths addressing how our past often defines who we are in the present.

AWAKENER is the first novel in a completed Science Fantasy series. The series itself is a blend of space opera and epic fantasy. Deep secrets and dark themes are hidden within snarky tones and a bit of low-brow humor.
The series has several underlying messages, the largest one stressing the importance of unity despite differences. Vilified species and even the villains themselves are more than they appear, some having deeper connections to the protagonists. Oh, and space battles with magic instead of ships and guns. The military and political aspects are light, focusing more on character relationships and internal struggles. How even the strong weaken themselves from within.
This planned series, The Symphony of the Stars, has five full manuscripts in total, and three novellas. A sequel trilogy is planned and partially written if the series does well.
AWAKENER was a Page Turner Awards Finalist and made the long list in 2023.
