Blood of the Wild Gods
The Chosen Chronicles
From entrapment to empowerment, from silence to strength—a generational tale of survival, healing, and choosing when to stop running and start fighting.
The Complete Saga
The Chosen Chronicles follows Mira Roehart across eighteen transformative years—from a young woman trapped in religious extremism to a powerful mother ready to reclaim her world. This is not a story of quick vengeance or easy victory, but a generational tale that explores how trauma reverberates through time, how healing requires sanctuary, and how sometimes the greatest victory is simply surviving long enough to see your children grow strong enough to fight battles you couldn't win alone.
Beginning with psychological manipulation and systematic abuse, the series evolves through desperate escape, the forging of found family bonds, years of healing in magical sanctuary, and ultimately the choice to stop running and start fighting back. Each book represents a crucial phase in Mira's journey, building toward a confrontation eighteen years in the making.
A Journey Through Darkness
Set in a world where divine silence has left humanity vulnerable to those who would claim to speak for absent gods, The Chosen Chronicles explores the weaponization of faith, the price of belonging, and the courage required to stand apart. Mira's discovery of her Nimwe heritage—beings of void who seek balance between light and darkness—challenges the binary thinking that Zenith's Light uses to maintain control.
Through systematic isolation, gaslighting, and abuse, we witness how extremist movements operate—and more importantly, how survivors rebuild their lives, reclaim their power, and protect the next generation from repeating the cycle.
More Than Survival
While the series begins in darkness, it ultimately becomes a story of hope. Not the easy hope of divine intervention or magical solutions, but the hard-won hope that comes from choosing to heal, choosing to trust again, and choosing to believe that tomorrow can be different than today. Mira's son Kai, born from trauma but transformed into purpose, represents the possibility that even the darkest origins can give rise to powerful light.
The Four Books
Each volume represents a crucial transformation in Mira's journey from captivity to freedom, from isolation to community, from victim to warrior.
The Chosen
When charismatic leader Lucien Altheris arrives in Rivenglade preaching salvation through Zenith's Light, Mira Roehart finds herself trapped in a nightmare of religious extremism. Forced into marriage and stripped of everyone she loves, she must navigate systematic abuse while discovering her true Nimwe heritage and the void powers that may be her only escape.
The Forsaken
Pregnant and on the run, Mira finds sanctuary among the Forsaken—those cast out by Zenith's Light. But safety comes with its own price as she navigates resistance politics, forms unlikely alliances, and races toward the Verdant Veil while carrying a child whose mixed heritage could either restore balance or destroy it completely.
The Village
Deep in an ancient forest, Mira and young Kai (ages 3-8) find true sanctuary among nature spirits and Murmeleks. Here, far from Lucien's reach, Mira finally learns about her Nimwe heritage while mother and son build a harmonious life with the magical beings of the forest. This is a story of thriving rather than merely surviving, of healing old wounds and discovering what family truly means.
The Return
Ten years after the events of The Village, Mira and eighteen-year-old Kai are done running. Armed with knowledge, power, and allies gathered over years of preparation, they return home to confront Lucien and the oppressive grip of Zenith's Light. This is the story of reclaiming what was stolen, protecting what was built, and proving that sometimes the greatest power comes from those who were once powerless.
