The Gray Paladin is the first book in the Paladin Series by author Garet Davidson. It is an H.P. Lovecraft-inspired, faith-themed fantasy. The Paladin Order once protected mankind. Half a century ago Ildradath, the Adjuror of the Order, led a crusade into the Abyss to destroy a powerful artifact needed to awaken the Dread One. Now the lone survivor of that crusade wastes away in a tower in grief-stricken isolation and wounded faith.

When Lilium’s family caravan is attacked by a creature of the Abyss while fleeing to the Western Heights, she finds herself alone, cowering and praying to be rescued by the very man who believes his own prayers go unanswered. The Old Ones and their cultists are busy fulfilling the Dread One’s schemes, and they will not stop until the world is under his control and madness and ruin consume everything. The beneficent Divines, with unseen hands at work, know a quest to confront these horrors must be undertaken and that the fate of mankind will depend on a miracle.

Can those who have lost everything find reason to hope? Can faith be enough against the machinations of the dark powers, or will the tides of the Abyss forever spill into the world?

This series is recommended for those who enjoy dark fantasy in a fictitious medieval setting. Those who enjoy Lovecraft mythos may enjoy how it is borrowed from or interpreted in this series.

It is 1393 in East Sussex, England. John, Bodiam Castle's master cook, sits on a platform being pulled across the moat in an attempt to rescue the black cat spotted in the nearby village.

Cats were believed to be witch familiars and agents of the devil. A bounty has resulted in their extermination. Then came the rats, the famine, and the plague-curse of the ravenous dead.

They are wrong about the cats. They need them.

John is out of his depth. He knows food, not fighting. He is tired. He is afraid. Most of all, he is hungry.

Ravenous is a historical fiction and horror novella set in 14th-century Bodiam, England. It is a medieval zombie tale. Story situations will make readers frequently uncomfortable and unsettled. There is violence and gruesome imagery.

Earth has united under a worldwide government known simply as the High Council. History books affectionately refer to the first High Council as the Fathers. Following contact with the United Federation of Extraterrestrials and being uplifted, man has used the technological leap to advance corporate ambitions and war in fulfillment of galactic manifest destiny.

Members of the Warrior Caste have been sent on a mission to Venus III to terminate a research colony that is believed to have fallen into the hands of a group of rebels aligned with the UFE. In need of a replacement guardian warrior for the mission, the dreadnought Beacon of Light docks over Titan VII.

An unlikely candidate with no military training is chosen against his will for augmentation. He will discover that things are not as they appear; that Venus III has secrets which threaten all life; and that man’s existence is shrouded in an even darker history.

Sins of the Fathers is a dystopian sci-fi novel exploring humanity and personhood through the intersection of biology, technology, and artificial intelligence in a universe oppressed by a techno-oligarchical fascist world order.
