Companion State Map
Companion State Map
A hand-drawn map highlighting the rugged frontier where Book One unfolds. From the remote mountain passes to the lawless high country, this map captures the key regions and routes across Anjeer State.
Created to support the story’s geography without revealing plot details, it helps readers visualize the landscape, follow the gang’s movements, and deepen their connection to the world. Designed in the same visual language as the journal illustrations, it serves as a companion piece to the first book and the foundation of the world to come.
Final size: 15" x 17.5" and printed with premium quality in mind.
Coming 2026
Silas's Journal
Silas's Journal
Designed as an immersive companion to Book One, this journal recreates the rough, fragmented notes of Silas Mercer—sketches, observations, and the details he never speaks aloud.
Hand-drawn illustrations, field marks, and weathered pages give readers a deeper look into his world: the landscape he crosses, the people he watches, and the choices that haunt him. The journal expands the story without revealing spoilers, offering a grounded, character-driven window into the events of Anjeer State.
Coming 2026
The following stories in the Inheritance Trilogy are currently in development, continuing the themes of legacy, consequence, and transformation that drive the series. Each volume expands the world introduced in Book One—deeper histories, new frontiers, and the lasting impact of the choices made in Anjeer State. While details remain under wraps, both books are being crafted to build naturally from the first installment and lead the trilogy toward a powerful and resonant conclusion.
