About the Author

I write character-driven fantasy that doesn’t hide behind sprawling maps or endless lore. My stories are lean, raw, and focused on people – what survival, grief, and betrayal make of us.

I was born in Hungary in 1992 and now live in Dublin, where I balance a background in economics, finance, and criminology with my passion for storytelling. Those studies taught me about systems and power, but my fiction asks a different question: what happens inside us when the world breaks us down?

My debut novel is the first in a planned trilogy, but it stands on its own – a dark, intimate tale about mercenaries, witch-nuns, and a girl caught between prophecy and survival. It’s less about warring kingdoms and more about the hidden wars inside people – the choices that turn us into tyrants, martyrs, or survivors.

I’m fascinated by fast-paced, emotionally honest writing that strips away the fluff and dives straight into the heart.
