Synopsis of Sins of the Maker
The Atlas of Dreams follows Sara, a young girl with unequaled intellect, as she is proclaimed the thirty-fourth incarnation of God. The day she is hailed ruler of the Galaxy of Solaria, Angelical creatures manifest upon her lands. Soon after, a man dubbed The Wanderer, bearer of unparalleled Fire, tries to kill her. The world's reaction to these events and her own search for answers will guide the main protagonists in a tale about our search for meaning and transcendence.
Forced to deal with a struggling world as well as the chaos inside herself, Sara gains allies and foes and seeks the means to face her people's destiny, as well as uncover the truths behind mysterious forces operating in her world.

The Atlas of Dreams, Episode 1, Sins of the Maker is self-published with its 353,000 words and its 776 pages, the most an amazon print-on-demand book can have.
The Atlas of Dreams, Episode 2, The Weight of Our Crimes is published, but then removed from stores due to issues and re-edits. This meant a rewrite of Episode 1! but it was all for the better, as the series is finally as intended.
The Atlas of Dreams, Episode 1, is re-published, with a new cover art, new interior design, and some essential rewrites that made the story more compelling. These happened because I decided the story would not go on for more than 3 books (original plan was 7).
The Atlas of Dreams, Episode 1, receives a new cover! Since all artwork is done by me, I have come up with several cover arts. This one being the definitive one.
More to come!

The Atlas of Dreams deals with philosophical and political themes, uses sporadic mature language and violence, and explores ideas of religion and moral emancipation in a fantasy setting. It is, at heart, a story about relationships, about love, and the costs of our choices.
The Atlas of Dreams follows Sara, a brilliant young girl, as she is proclaimed the thirty-fourth incarnation of God. The day she is hailed ruler of the Galaxy of Solaria, Angelical creatures manifest upon her lands. Soon after, a man dubbed The Wanderer, bearer of unparalleled power, tries to kill her and her knights rise to her protection. Their minds can delve into the sum of all history and so they can calculate instances of the likely future to become almost unbeatable. Still, they’re at a loss as the Angels rise in their crystal trees and as the Wanderer bares his fangs at God. The world's reaction to these events and God’s own search for answers will guide the main protagonists in a tale about our search for meaning and transcendence.
Forced to deal with an emerging galactic conflict as well as the chaos inside herself, Sara gains allies and foes and seeks the means to face her people's destiny, as well as uncover the truths behind mysterious forces operating in her world. The Atlas of Dreams is a fantasy epic adventure in which humanity strives to preserve the one thing that will always elude us, time itself.
Powerful magical warriors, incredible beasts, animal spirits, machines, clashing societies, and warring nations, all meet in a world where magic, nature, and our humanity have entwined to save and condemn what we love most.
