The Revenant's Mark

A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution

Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back.

Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods.

As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.

Epic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant’s Mark blends dark Americana, supernatural horror, and historical fiction into a haunting tale of war, identity, and the ancient forces buried in the soil of a still-fighting land.

Perfect for fans of Robert McCammon’s Speaks the Nightbird, HBO’s The Revenant, and the eerie mythos of The Witch.

Thoughts on my Thoughts V:

The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

Author: Walter R. Hoge, DVM

“Life offers lessons in every moment—if we’re still enough to listen.”

A Reflection on Thoughts on My Thoughts V

In a world moving at lightning speed, it’s easy to overlook the gentle wisdom that often resides in stillness. Thoughts on My Thoughts V by Dr. Walter Hoge reminds us that God speaks not always in thunder, but in whispers—and it is in these quiet moments we find peace, clarity, and purpose.

The fifth volume in Dr. Hoge’s devotional series goes beyond traditional reflection. It becomes a heartfelt dialogue between the reader, scripture, and the soul. Each entry opens with a Bible verse and flows into personal insight, drawing meaning from everyday encounters, spiritual trials, and moments of grace. His reflections offer readers not conclusions, but invitations—opportunities to see the divine in the daily.

Dr. Hoge’s voice is humble and sincere, grounded in both scriptural understanding and lived experience. Themes such as perseverance, grace, humility, forgiveness, and divine timing shape this collection, making it a steadfast companion for those navigating a chaotic or uncertain season.

What sets this volume apart is its balance of honesty and hope. Dr. Hoge acknowledges the tension between faith and doubt, encouraging readers not to have all the answers—but to walk thoughtfully with the One who does.

“A mind-expanding collection that intertwines science, spirit, and the soul of service.” – Greg P.

Whether used as a daily devotional, a tool for deeper Bible study, or a source of personal reflection, Thoughts on My Thoughts V offers both comfort and challenge. It reminds us that every thought, no matter how fleeting, holds potential when brought before God—and every moment is a chance for transformation.

This isn’t just a record of Dr. Hoge’s reflections. It’s an open invitation to explore your own.

NAGA SATRIA – THE SERPENT’S HEIR

 

NAGA SATRIA – THE SERPENT’S HEIR

by KAL KAMEL

Imagine a world of volcanic islands, dense jungles, and shimmering turquoise seas. This is Nusantara, the 13th-century Southeast Asian archipelago, a vibrant maritime crossroads teeming with a thousand cultures. It was a world of immense wealth, where sprawling port cities were home to Javanese kings, Malay sultans, Bugis sailors, and merchants from Arabia and China. Here, empires were built on the spice trade, fleets of massive wooden ships ruled the waves, and the fate of kingdoms was decided by the monsoon winds.

Into this world steps Arya Suryanata, the grieving son of a legendary general from the Singhasari kingdom. He inherits not only his father’s command but also Naga Satria, a sentient, soul-bound keris (a distinctive dagger from Southeast Asia known for its asymmetrical and often wavy blade), a magic blade humming with the ancient power. His first command from the ruthless king of Singhasari is absolute: lead a fleet, find the defiant trading kingdom of Selat Kenchana, and break them.

But the King’s orders betray every principle of honor Arya was raised to uphold. He is torn between his duty as a soldier and the legacy of his father, a man who wielded power with wisdom, not just brutality.

As Arya's fleet navigates treacherous mangrove swamps, he finds himself in a shadow war against an unseen enemy. He is confronted not only Selat Kenchana's prideful war chief, but also by Melati, a beautiful, intelligent and enigmatic envoy who speaks of peace, forcing Arya to question if his king’s path is the only one.

Haunted by visions from the blade and tested by a power he can barely control, Arya must make a choice. The path of duty leads to destruction and a loss of his soul. The path of honor could be seen as treason. With the fate of kingdoms hanging on his command, Arya discovers that the most dangerous serpent he must master is not the one in his sword, but the one coiled around his own heart.

Background

The book was meticulously researched to bring the incredible world of 13th-century Nusantara to life. The politics, the real historical figures, the design of the ships, and the spiritual beliefs around the keris and the Nāga are all rooted in actual history and mythology. Being from Southeast Asia and from Malaysia in particular, my aim was to create a story that isn't a generic fantasy setting, but rather, a real piece of world history, a "hidden history" brought to life.

You’re busting your knuckles in the cold, the chaos, the mud—believing it’ll pay off. A company truck. A competitive salary. A seat at the table. A life on your terms.

Wake up.

You know how to build a map—but no one taught you how to read it. Countless tradesmen and contractors are left stuck without a clear path to elevate their position, their company, or their life. Feeling stuck isn’t unique. What you do about it is.

If every weekday feels like a rerun, here’s your wake-up call: You haven’t changed—but you’ve expected everything else to. The ones who win? They adapt. They grow. They lead. The real Decision-Makers don’t just swing harder—they master people, profit, perception, and potential—they accelerate.

This is the essential guide for the blue-collar worker who’s done waiting—and the contractor who’s not done building.

Tradesmen will master the social jungle, build allies, stack high-value connections, speak with purpose, influence outcomes, eliminate costly mistakes, and skyrocket their value.

Contractors will build better assets in the field—and stronger balance sheets in the books. A team with the right mindset and skills reduces turnover, increases accountability, boosts safety, sharpens communication, and drives productivity.

This simple, effective roadmap delivers high-income skills, strategic insights, and weekly jobsite challenges to turn you into a decision-maker—the kind contractors fight to keep, promote, and invest in.

Stop waiting for permission.
