Timothy Tibb and the Rise of the Yellow Robes
The hidden war is about to go public.
In Las Vegas, a man plummets from the sky before a horrified crowd-Tatiana's cult proving it can strike anywhere, at any time. For Timothy and his companions, the city becomes a battlefield, its stadium chosen for a spectacle that could shatter the world's illusion of safety.
But Tatiana's empire has spanned centuries. From her rise in the 7th century to her modern grip on Altruistic Inc., the immortal cult has turned rejuvenation into control-and rebellion into ashes.
As Timothy fights to keep his found family alive, the past and present collide in a fast-paced epic fantasy thriller that blends conspiracy, history, and survival.
The Rise of the Yellow Robes delivers flawed heroes against an immortal enemy, an urban fantasy thriller where every choice could ignite war.
Vegas will burn-and the world will never be the same.
Appeals to
* Readers of conspiracy thrillers (Dan Brown, Rollins) who want ancient cults + modern action.
* Fantasy readers who enjoy hard-rule magic mixed with real cities (Rivers of London, Dresden).
* Fans of large ensemble epics (Stormlight Archive, Wheel of Time).
* Readers who like fantasy grounded in real-world structures (law enforcement, crime).
* Fans of darker urban fantasy (e.g., Benedict Jacka, Ilona Andrews when they get gritty).
* Thriller readers open to magic.
What You'll Experience:
* A high-stakes battle between flawed heroes and immortal enemies.
* No wings. No dragons. Just raw, reality-bending powers and the fight for truth.
* A secret cult of yellow-robed zealots-and the woman leading them from the shadows.
* Meet Tatiana: ageless, ruthless, divine to her followers-and deadly to her doubters.
Two timelines. One truth.
* Travel from a war-torn ancient past to a perilous modern world linked by magic portals and prophecy.
Heroes with real struggles
* Timothy Tibb: scarred by loss, burdened by guilt, but unwilling to let evil win.
* Catherine: a healer who can't fully trust.
* Dennis: a tech genius in a battle against unseen forces.
* Jade: A brave, no-nonsense fighter with a painful past and sharp instincts. She battles her own trauma while risking everything to protect the people she loves.
* Barton: lost for centuries in a magical prison-freed by friendship.

About the author
Timothy L. Drobnick Sr.
36 books70 followersTimothy L. Drobnick Sr. writes thrillers where ordinary people are pulled into extraordinary danger and where the truth is never as safe as it first appears.
He is the author of multiple series, including Rescued by Ghosts, the seven-book supernatural true-story thriller series that has earned hundreds of reader ratings; the Timothy Tibb Epic Fantasy Thriller series, a fast-paced blend of fantasy, conspiracy, ancient secrets, and supernatural physics; and The Calder Files, a Boston detective thriller series about crimes hidden inside procedure, official records, and institutional power.
Timothy’s stories often combine high-stakes suspense, moral pressure, hidden systems, and characters forced to question the version of reality they have been handed. Whether he is writing epic fantasy, supernatural suspense, or police procedural conspiracy thrillers, his work explores the same core question: what happens when ordinary people discover the truth is bigger, darker, and more dangerous than anyone expected?
Timothy’s storytelling journey began long before he published his first book. As a child, he was often accused of “not paying attention” in school, when in truth his mind was busy building stories. In 1995, after becoming a single parent of three children overnight, he turned that imagination into a way to support his family—writing short stories, building an email readership, and creating products from home while raising his children.
Years later, he transformed the strange and extraordinary events of his own life into Rescued by Ghosts. Since then, he has continued building fictional worlds filled with danger, mystery, faith, doubt, hidden forces, and characters fighting to survive the truth.
When he is not writing, Timothy enjoys researching unusual history, exploring the psychology of belief and power, and building story worlds where every answer leads to a deeper question.
