Where Fire Burns Brighter Than Magic

Writing fantasy as a Christian isn’t simple. There’s a line between imagination and conviction, and sometimes it’s hard to see. I want to tell rich, layered stories—stories with struggle and depth—without losing sight of biblical truth. I’m not interested in shock value (sorry, no steamy sex scenes here) or throwing in magic just because it sells. I want stories that burn with purpose. Stories that stay clean, not because they avoid darkness, but because they confront it with something stronger.

The world in The Fire and The Serpent series doesn’t run on spells or ancient enchantments. There’s no need for wizards or whispered incantations. Here, the power is older. Wilder. Alive.

The Fire is the driving force—fierce, unrelenting, and full of purpose. Once found, it doesn’t flicker quietly. It blazes. It battles the darkness and consumes what can’t stand in its light; breaking down strongholds and transforming hearts.

This is fantasy without the familiar trappings. No elves, no potions. Just a world where shadows stretch deep, and the Fire burns beneath it all—ancient, alive, and never indifferent. It’s a story layered in meaning, where the battle between light and darkness shapes both the world and the hearts that walk through it. But even in the brightest light, something stirs in the dark—and it’s coming for those who carry the Fire.
