I'm looking at a five book series, potentially six depending on what is needed to close to story out the right way. There will also be a few more novellas and short stories mixed in with that as well!

I'm absolutely delighted to hear you're enjoying it so far!(less)

The end of 2025 has finally come.\n


This has been a strange year for me. It’s been one of the greatest years of my life, both personally and professionally. But it has also been filled with challenges and despite writing a metric fucktonne of words, I didn’t actually release anything this year except for a short story by the name of The Blood th

Quotes by Ryan Cahill  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are demons within us all that we must face. They only ever surface when we are at our lowest because they are not strong enough to challenge us at our highest.”
Ryan Cahill, Of Darkness and Light

“I told him that the sun will set, and it will rise again, and it will do so the next day and the next. The gods are in charge of such things, but it is by our own will that we pick ourselves up when we fall.”
Ryan Cahill, Of Blood and Fire

“That’s where prophecies belong, Calen. In stories and fairy tales. Prophecies and fate are words that are used by kings and queens to send young men and women to their death with smiles on their faces, dreaming of becoming heroes. Fate is fluid.”
Ryan Cahill, Of Blood and Fire

“I told him that the sun will set, and it will rise again, and it will do so the next day and the next. The gods are in charge of such things, but it is by our own will that we pick ourselves up when we fall.”
Ryan Cahill, Of Blood and Fire

“Love, my son, cannot be quantified by how and why. It is the intangible tether that connects your heart to others. It holds no conditions or rules, for if it did, it would not be love, but simply convenience. It is not found in the ‘because’, it is found in the ‘and yet’. Your father is strong, compassionate, and understanding, but it is not because of those things that I love him. Rather, they are why I admire him. He is also foolhardy, pig-headed, and he always says the wrong things. And yet, I love him anyway.”
Ryan Cahill, The Exile

“It is never weak to grieve for the ones you love.”
Ryan Cahill, The Exile

“There are demons within us all that we must face. They only ever surface when we are at our lowest because they are not strong enough to challenge us at our highest.”
