Flower Amid the Devastation: Servants of the Flower World, Book I
About this ebook
Flower Amid the Devastation is the opening volume of a five-book series, drawing inspiration from Southwestern cosmology and the medieval tradition of epic quest. In this tale, power flows not from domination but from those willing to risk all for others, refusing to let the forces of might and control prevail. A farmer who dreams true, a prince and his warriors, a half-Flower mage, Little People who tend otherworldly blooms, and primordial Water Beings are drawn into a single, perilous journey. As their unity is tested, they discover that service—not conquest—may be the only force strong enough to meet the coming darkness. Perfect for readers who loved The Lord of the Rings and are ready for an indigenous-rooted cosmology. Here, Three Worlds are bound together, and battles in the Above World and the Underworld converge upon This World. Here, the challenge is not only to preserve the Flower of Life amid the devastation, but to learn how to flower amid it as well.

About the author
The author draws on his research into Ancestral Pueblo history and Eastern Woodland cosmology to shape the mythic landscape of this fantasy world. His long engagement with symbolic traditions—through dreamwork, teaching, and the study of Indigenous archetypes—deepens the story's inner resonance. Increasingly, he experiences his writing as part of a larger flow, a collaboration between universe, imagination, and reader. Servants of the Flower World emerges from this meeting place: an epic built on an alternative cosmology where sacrificial love enters at decisive moments. He now invites the reader to step into that world.
