Dynamicist

"Strong characters face a maelstrom in this intense, intellectually rigorous fantasy series." - Kirkus Reviews Recommended Read

"I highly recommend Dynamicist – it’s a well-thought-out, high minded fantasy with a very satisfying set of twists and turns that’s not quite like anything else I have read in high fantasy. And to me, that’s a great accomplishment indeed." -J. Scott Coatsworth, Liminal Fiction

Would it kill you to create something genuinely new? In Robert’s world, it used to.

Divine retribution for invention is now a thing of the past. Young, optimistic, quick of mind and quick to act, Robert thinks being invited to the New School is an invitation to change the world.

Nothing is as simple as it first seems, least of all change. Robert is surprised and frustrated by everything from his classmates Koria and Eloise stalking him, to protestors claiming that the new grain is poison and its inventors should be murdered like in the old days. Worse yet, Robert has a dangerous, flash temper that is triggered by a campus assault. His anger has ties to a forgotten childhood, but Robert cannot change the world if he does not even understand himself.

At the same time as Robert struggles on campus, a powerful, ruthless sociopath known only as the Lonely Wizard journeys across a desolate wilderness to return to his dying mother. As Robert and the Lonely Wizard head towards a collision, Robert finds that instead of entering a golden age of innovation, he may instead be on the brink of a cold war and a return to the stultifying, changeless dark age.
