Read the opening chapter of Silent Watcher for free on Patreon. A dark political fantasy of espionage, conspiracy, and betrayal set in the Ravenglass Universe.
I’ve started posting my new novel Silent Watcher on Patreon—and you can read the opening chapter right now for free.
This one’s a bit different. Darker. More claustrophobic. The kind of story where the truth keeps shifting just out of reach the closer you get to it.
Here’s the setup:
A dead Watcher. A town that won’t speak. A truth someone is desperate to bury.
Anselma Versen arrives in Halborg to investigate a colleague’s death. Officially, it was an accident.
It doesn’t feel like one.
The streets are scrubbed too clean.
The townsfolk speak like they’ve rehearsed it.
And the dead Watcher left behind a journal he was never meant to write.
Then things start to get… stranger.
Records don’t match.
Witnesses remember different versions of the same events.
And Anselma finds her own name—her own signature—on reports she never wrote.
At that point, it’s no longer just an investigation.
It’s a system.
And it’s already accounting for her.
If she follows orders, she survives.
If she keeps digging… she probably doesn’t.
If you like your fantasy with a strong espionage edge—something closer to a spy thriller in tone—this might be your kind of thing. Think conspiracies, institutional power, and a protagonist who refuses to accept the official version of events.
I’ll be posting chapters on Patreon, starting now, and the first one’s free if you want to take a look.
👉 You can read Chapter 1 HERE.
If you give it a try, I hope you enjoy stepping into Halborg. It’s not a friendly place.
