LAWBREAKER BOOK ONE
Rich characters, deep world building, a unique magic system,
mind-bending horrors, chilling plot twists, and twisted plots
THE WORLD OF YRTHAI
A young filmmaker is pulled into an alternate reality through a cosmological glitch, where he uses magic to reverse engineer moving pictures, becoming the first Cinema Mage and traveling the land plagiarizing movies from Earth, sending irreversible ripples through the culture of his new world.
In Yrthai, Law is not just an idea, but a fundamental force of the universe — built into reality, as unyielding and inescapable as gravity, space, or time. Your every act and choice leaves a permanent mark on your soul. A system of magic with rules that must be followed with the precision of engineering. An ecosystem of plants and animals that metabolize concepts as well as they do prey. And a civilization balanced on a knife's-edge of forgetting their own history or entering a second age of enlightenment and discovery.
This is the state of the world of Yrthai, when Kel arrives and is forced to start a new life in a strange land. How will he survive in this new Finite Universe of Law? And more importantly, how long will it be before this traveler from the Infinite Plane inadvertently leaves his mark on such a carefully balanced system?
where to read Lawbreaker
Come 'ere. Lemme tell ye summit.
I have spent 20 years writing stories of different styles and genres. Some literary fiction, some sci-fi, some horror.
High fantasy, low fantasy, and even my favorite guilty pleasure of pulp trash. But like the characters I try to write, I am deeply flawed, and now have 20,000+ pages of half finished stories awaiting my attention.
Lawbreaker is my unleashing. I have cracked open the files, and am pouring all my ideas and characters into a single ongoing epic, with no expectation but to have the time of my life, and pull the rest of you, kicking, screaming, and laughing into my madness with me.
I hope you'll enjoy the ride half as much as I am in crafting it.
Going Through Rythdrawals?
LOVE? HATE? JUST CAN'T WAIT?
If you just gotta drop me a line, and can't reach me on Facebook, Royal Road, or Patreon... then your name's probably Bobby, and god damn it I told you to leave me alone!
I have no interest in teaming up for a Lawbreaker themed OnlyFans and if you don't quit rearranging my garden gnomes into suggestive and inappropriate positions I'm going to get a restraining order.
For anyone else, send me a message here or anywhere else and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I'd love to hear from you!
