When the world breaks, some boys shatter. Others rise from the ashes.
Collin lives tucked between a wild meadow and the safety of his mother’s lullabies—until the night he climbs a tree and sees the fire. Smoke veils the stars. By morning, the world he knows is gone.
Torn from everything he loves, Collin must navigate a fractured nation ruled by fear. Haunted by memory and grief, he comes of age in the quiet shadows of resistance, drawn toward the girl who once made space for him in her world—and the dreams of a future that may never come.
But in Crimisa, nothing stays untouched for long. When love, loyalty, and legacy collide, Collin must decide what kind of man he will become—and what he’s willing to risk for the chance to rise.
Sweeping and intimate, Lullaby from the Fire is the first book in the Songs of Crimisa series—a tale of rebellion, sacrifice, and the spark that starts a revolution.

The spark has caught. The storm is coming.
The silence of Crimisa is breaking. Whispers turn to fire, and fire to open rebellion. Collin and his friends are swept into a struggle where mercy is rare, and every choice carves scars into the heart.
But the path to freedom is never simple. Friendships are tested, vows undone, and longing lingers like a haunting refrain. As rebellion rises, every kiss, every promise, every loss becomes part of a melody both fragile and unforgettably painful.
The Fractured Melody, the second book in the Songs of Crimisa series, is a sweeping tale of passion, resistance, and sacrifice—where love and war entwine, and the fire of the heart survives the silence.
