Book One

Title: Dum Spiro Spero

Genre: Historical Horror

Synopsis: This is a story of Spero, a young boy possessed and corrupted by the sadistic egregore, Solus, who seeks to escape the mortal husk that confines it. Following Spero’s two siblings, Alice, a heartless privateer weighed down by the responsibilities of her stature, and Felix, a cowardly scholar who lacks the courage to weave his own path, as they embark on a vast quest across the world to recover the assimilated Lunar Stories in order to manifest a newfound literary power entirely—one that could undo the grief and failures of their supernatural past. Told through the omniscient directions of the antagonist itself, Dum Spiro Spero is a historical fiction novel that incorporates horrific imagery to convey humanity’s never-ending battle with Fear and the importance of Responsibility, Courage, Love, Recovery, Freedom, and Hope in the metamorphosis of ruptured minds.
