Two young men. Two worlds that should never touch. A love that begins in dreams, crosses impossible distance, and eventually asks the universe a dangerous question: what if destiny is only the beginning?
Elias Hammond lives an ordinary life on Earth until sleep begins dropping him into places he cannot explain. Draxton Zoōak lives under twin suns on Osmeia, heir to a thousand-year legacy and hiding a truth his world has made dangerous. Their paths should never intersect. They do anyway.
A story of identity, fate, forbidden love, strange worlds—and the courage to choose someone even when the universe has already chosen for you.
The Tattoo Series follows Elias and Draxton as the mystery of their connection widens from the intimate to the cosmic.
Elias wakes where he should not be. Draxton begins seeing a stranger who does not belong to his world. What first appears to be an impossible accident becomes a path—one shaped by the Guardians, a hidden mission, and a bond neither boy can dismiss.
The story begins hereAfter the rules of their connection change, Elias and Draxton are forced into a world stripped of the protections they once relied on. Survival becomes ordinary. Time becomes unreliable. And the question is no longer whether they were meant to find each other—but whether love still matters when destiny stops answering.
The journey continuesEarth and Osmeia mirror one another in unsettling ways: similar bodies, similar relationships, similar ideas of home—built inside very different histories.
A world beneath two suns: advanced in energy and biological science, old-fashioned in social order, breathtaking in its natural color. At Oceanmoor, the Zóoak Estate stretches from vineyard terraces to a glowing blue bay.
Elias’s home begins as the familiar half of the story—Ottawa streets, family routines, hospitals, highways, phones and ordinary life. Then Earth becomes strange in its own way, proving that you do not need another planet to become completely lost.
At the center are two boys learning that fate may arrange a meeting—but it cannot live the relationship for them.
Curious, anxious, stubbornly human—and suddenly capable of crossing impossible distance in his sleep.
Heir to a powerful family, quietly resisting the future chosen for him and the laws that deny who he is.
Draxton’s closest friend, observant and fiercely loyal, with more knowledge of the Guardians than she first reveals.
Loud, funny, loyal and impossible to ignore—the kind of friend who stays when the story turns dangerous.
A travelling psychic medium whose strange perception makes her one of the first people to believe Elias—and one of the first to understand that his impossible experiences are real.
The series begins with a mark on skin, but its mythology reaches far beyond it—into language, consciousness, inherited memory, the Guardians, and an ancient connection between worlds that began long before Elias or Draxton were born.
The second book trades certainty for displacement. Familiar oceans feel wrong. Shelter is temporary. Time begins to fold around memory and choice. Elias and Draxton must discover who they are when no system—human, Osmeian or divine—can promise the next step.
