Today marks a special moment in my creative journey — the official release of Shores of Fortune, the first book in the Chronicles of New Horizons series!
If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping ashore on an untouched island, feeling the promise of a new beginning in every shifting wave and whispering palm — this story is for you.
🌊 What is Shores of Fortune ?
It’s a blend of historical fiction, gamelit progression, and settlement-building adventure, inspired by the timeless joy of games like Anno 1602 — where every structure matters, every citizen counts, and progress is earned plank by plank.
📖 The Story
Modern-day historian Dr. Samuel Arden never expected that an ancient journal — one with his handwriting in it — would pull him into the 16th century. Suddenly on a merchant ship with a dead captain and a bewildered crew, he must build a settlement from nothing but sand, sweat, and hope.
From the first tents and campfire to a bustling coastal outpost — and finally, to the moment the King demands tribute — Shores of Fortune is a story of leadership, community, discovery, and what it means to build something worth protecting.
