Hello everyone!
On the Shoulders of Titans, the sequel to Sufficiently Advanced Magic, is finally completed and available on Kindle!
You can find it here.
The paperback edition is almost completed. I expect it’ll only be about another week or two. The audio book edition will take considerably longer. This is because the audio narrator will need to find time in their schedule to record it now that the book is finished. This could take a number of months; it depends on the narrator’s availability, as well as the amount of time it takes in post-production, etc. I’m extremely excited to hear what everyone thinks of the new book. Thank you all for the support!
Best,

There ye go. It's called on the shoulders of titans. A tip of you are looking for books in a series on Kindle, go to the authors page, it lists all their books
Also a heads up, on the 6th of December, book 3 arrives. It's called the torch that ignite the stars or something like that.
I would recommend checking out the six sacred swords series aswell. Same author, same universe, mostly same continent
Hey all,
The second book of my Arcane Ascension series, <strong>On the Shoulders of Titans</strong>, is on sale for 99 cents on the US and UK Kindle stores. Unfortunately, Kindle Countdown Deals are only available in those regions. =(
The audio book version of On the Shoulders of Titans is scheduled to launch on January 15th. Preorders are available here!
If you're not already familiar with the series, the first book is <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>.
The series focuses on Corin Cadence, a young student who is seeking to learn magic in order to find his brother, Tristan. Five years ago, Tristan entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower filled with ever-changing rooms, monsters, and traps - and never returned.
Style wise, the series is heavily inspired by Japanese role-playing games and other media, such as Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Ys, The Legend of Heroes, Tales of, Fire Emblem, and The Legend of Zelda. In the books, I attempted to make a coherent universe where game-like elements are part of how the setting functions - for example, there are rationalizations of why there are things like character classes (attunements) and "respawning" monsters. I've attempted to take those characteristics and integrated them into the local society, culture, and religion.
For those of you who have already read the books and are looking for updates:
- The Keras-focused prequel is currently at the beta reading stage. I am hoping to release it early next year.
- Defying Destiny, the third War of Broken Mirrors book, is still in progress. I'm hoping to have it out next year if possible.
- The third Arcane Ascension book will be after that, likely in 2020.
I hope anyone who picks up the one of the books enjoys it!
Edit: Realized preorders are available for the audio book and added a link!
Hiya all,
<strong>On the Shoulders of Titans</strong>, the sequel to <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>, is currently on sale on the US and UK Kindle stores. Due to how Kindle Countdown Deals work, unfortunately it isn't available on any other stores.
For those who aren't already familiar with the series, Arcane Ascension is a novel series inspired by Japanese role-playing games (e.g. Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Lufia, Fire Emblem, etc.) and similar anime.
It's told from the perspective of Corin Cadence, a seventeen year old who is seeking to climb the Serpent Spire, a colossal structure filled with monsters and traps. His primary goal is to find his brother, Tristan, who disappeared into the spire five years before.
To do this, he'll need to learn magic, and find all the help he can get.
The content of the novel is split between dungeon crawling sections in the spire (and other locations) and Corin learning magic at a university. As a fair warning, the magic system discussion gets extremely detailed. My style is to try to make sure that all of the spells, items, etc. the main character uses to solve his problems appear to be properly explained in advance. This type of style doesn't appeal to everyone.
Due to the JRPG inspiration, the magic and the setting come across as very RPG-like. This is deliberate; my intent was to draw from RPG tropes and create a setting where these tropes are organically integrated into the setting in ways that make sense. This isn't going to appeal to every reader, either.
P.S. For those of you still waiting for the audio book, my understanding is that it's finally being recorded this month. I'm hoping it'll be out by the end of the year.

Hey all!
<strong>On the Shoulders of Titans</strong>, the sequel to <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>, is now available!
If you're not already familiar with the series, my books are heavily inspired by Japanese role-playing games like Final Fantasy, the Tales of series, Lufia, Ys, etc. As such, the setting and magic are deliberately game-like, and I make an effort to take game-style tropes and explain them within a coherent and consistent setting.
The content is a split between a magical university and a bunch of dungeon crawling.
If you like JRPGs, anime, and detailed magic systems, you might like my books. If you dislike systemic magic, you probably won't like these books.
If you've already read and enjoyed these, you might also be interested in my War of Broken Mirrors books, starting with <strong>Forging Divinity</strong>. These books are a little more "standard" epic fantasy in style, with a third person limited perspective and multiple perspective characters, rather than a single main character like in the other series. They're still extremely heavy on the magic system side, though.

For those of you who aren't already aware, this series focuses on Corin Cadence, a young man who is learning magic. His goal is to gain enough power to find his brother, Tristan, who disappeared into a colossal monster-filled tower five years before.
The story is highly inspired by Japanese role-playing games like Final Fantasy, the Tales series, and The Legend of Zelda.
The magic system is extremely detailed, and learning those details is a big focus of the story. If you like that sort of thing, this might be something you'd enjoy. If you prefer more mystical magic, you might want to skip this series.
Looks like it's up now!
Well, the sequel to Sufficiently Advanced Magic released a couple days ago, so there's that.
On the Shoulders of Titans
Other than that, I can also recommend Mother of Learning, which has a similar feel. Past that, maybe check out some LitRPGs? My personal favorites are:
Everybody Loves Large Chests (occasionally NSFW, though hilarious)
