MY LATEST BOOK
What if Rome never fell? What if Christ never walked the Earth?
Step into a world reimagined in The Seven Seeds: Shepherd of Souls, where history takes a daring turn, and the stakes are nothing less than the soul of civilization itself. Torn from the sanctity of the Vatican, Pope Gregory finds himself thrust into an alternate reality—a Rome that never fell, untouched by Christianity, where mythical gods of conquest and power reign supreme.
Lost in a world ruled by ambition and relentless power, Gregory uncovers an ancient manuscript revealing seven transformative virtues: compassion, humility, forgiveness, justice, wisdom, courage, and sacrifice—The Seven Seeds. These timeless ideals are key to challenging an empire’s unyielding brutality and forging a bridge between two worlds divided by conflict and despair.
As Gregory struggles to plant the seeds of change, he must navigate the grandeur and cruelty of a timeless Rome. With the help of unlikely allies, he begins a mission to spread these virtues, risking everything to defy a merciless Emperor and inspire hope in the hearts of the oppressed. Each step brings unimaginable trials, testing Gregory’s faith and forcing him to confront the beliefs that have defined him.
The Seven Seeds is an epic tale of transformation and redemption. History collides with what could have been, and humanity teeters on the edge of profound change. For readers who yearn for sweeping narratives, richly imagined settings, and stories that challenge the very nature of human destiny, this novel offers a journey that will grip their imagination and stir their souls.
"Creativity is the alchemy of the soul, turning grief into grace, pain into purpose, and the scars of loss into enduring art.”
