Violence & Vigilance is book one of Turesia Untamed, an epic fantasy series featuring an eternal vendetta, scars of grief and loss, untethered rage, and hope against all odds.

Irdessa the Undying, a renowned arena fighter in Fohrvylda, has escaped imprisonment but at great cost. Broken and alone, she must outwit and outfight her pursuers.

Basalt Kale, a failed Consonant monk of the lowest order, embarks on a quest to improve Ausgan but discovers vile secrets of his order that he cannot abide.

The heathens of Fohrvylda amass ships and beasts of war to sail the Faithless Sea and assault the monks of Ausgan, who will greet the steel-bearing invaders with elemental destruction.

Violence & Vigilance is a story of survival with dark humor, exotic settings, savage beasts, and damaged characters. If you enjoy the grittiness of Joe Abercrombie's First Law or the urgency of Pierce Brown's Red Rising, you'll love Violence & Vigilance.

"This is in the top 15% of debuts I’ve worked on as a freelance editor since 2002."

John Jarrold, editor and legendary literary agent

"[Irdessa] is a total badass but with complex emotions and vulnerability - think Furiosa from Mad Max, but with a spear."

LE Brooks, author of AVELINA

"... a diverse range of characters, all with their own interesting motivations and character arcs."
"... an interweaving plot that never gets dull or lingers."
"The story is taking place in a natural, living, breathing ecosystem with an interesting political past, present, and future unfolding for the characters within it."
