Iβve started posting my new novel Silent Watcher on Patreonβand you can read the opening chapter right now for free.
This oneβs 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.
Hereβs the setup:
A dead Watcher. A town that wonβt speak. A truth someone is desperate to bury.
Anselma Versen arrives in Halborg to investigate a colleagueβs death. Officially, it was an accident.
It doesnβt feel like one.
The streets are scrubbed too clean.
The townsfolk speak like theyβve rehearsed it.
And the dead Watcher left behind a journal he was never meant to write.
Then things start to get⦠stranger.
Records donβt match.
Witnesses remember different versions of the same events.
And Anselma finds her own nameβher own signatureβon reports she never wrote.
At that point, itβs no longer just an investigation.
Itβs a system.
And itβs already accounting for her.
If she follows orders, she survives.
If she keeps diggingβ¦ she probably doesnβt.
If you like your fantasy with a strong espionage edgeβsomething closer to a spy thriller in toneβthis might be your kind of thing. Think conspiracies, institutional power, and a protagonist who refuses to accept the official version of events.
Iβll be posting chapters on Patreon, starting now, and the first oneβs free if you want to take a look.
π You can read Chapter 1 HERE.
If you give it a try, I hope you enjoy stepping into Halborg. Itβs not a friendly place.
