The Hand of Tæranon follows Richard, a struggling writer who is given a mysterious device that drops him into a living fantasy world.

What happens when a luxury cruise ship rescues a castaway who is anything but human?
Aboard the magnificent Tilburg, thousands of guests and crew are enjoying a tranquil transatlantic voyage. That is, until First Officer Leyton spots a shape on a remote atoll—a skeletal, sun-baked survivor named Luc.
But Luc is no ordinary castaway.
She swore to protect the innocent. Now, she’s being forced to destroy them.
Constable Emma Dowsett built her life on grit, duty, and a sharp mind. Until a single encounter shatters it all. Ray—a master manipulator whose control knows no limits—doesn’t just break her. He rebuilds her. Through relentless training, psychological conditioning, and a trail of morally ambiguous missions, Emma is forged into his most lethal instrument. From London’s backstreets to the volatile heart of West Africa, every step is calculated. Every move is watched. And every choice costs someone their life.
