The Shards of Color Trilogy

The Brothers Grimm never told a story like this, and Mother Goose's egg would crack under the allegorical weight of this dark fairytale.

The Shards of Color Trilogy is a battle cry of resilience for any person who's ever felt as if they are not good enough. Built from the true life of the author, this trilogy explores the human psyche with a fresh look into the path of healing. With loving queer relationships at its core, this dark fantasy follows one man's story as it unfolds into a multi-generational epic. Classic fairytale tropes shatter in satisfying and surprising ways. In Evenhere, survival depends upon emotional intelligence, radical vulnerability, and psychological integration. In a universe where emotions are physics and color is physical force, Jethran Frye must learn to trust himself and to lean upon his chosen family. From the oppressive dystopian style beginnings to the scifi fantasy followup to the lovecraftian horror of the conclusion, this saga promises deeply strong characters in a living world of vibrancy and magic.

Book Two: A Faded Quest

The colors are fading.

Four years after Jethran restored color to Evenhere, the Silvarii are facing the Fades Crisis. Now Jethran must team up with Saga, a Silvarii who blames him for the fading of her people, and Stanza, a criminally perfect Colorista who complicates everything. Together, the three must seek out the Pixxels of Power, seven ancient beings whose existence predates the world itself. What they find will shatter every truth Saga was raised to believe.

A Faded Quest is a dark fairy tale with a slow-burn sapphic love story, set in a queer-normative world. This story is about finding family in the most unexpected places and what you discover when you finally look beyond the stories you were told.

Book Three: Echoes of Foreshadow

Twenty years after color was restored, Evenhere is living in a time of hard-won peace. But when a dark force that was long forgotten begins to unmake the world and the people in it, Jethran is faced with his greatest foe yet. He must find a way to stop this entity of erasure and save his family before the entire Kingdom of Evenhere is wiped from existence. Saga must atone for the actions of her past while she and her future wife prepare for motherhood. The final battle for the safety of the kingdom will demand heavy sacrifices. When the shadows part, those who remain are left wondering if the cost of winning is too great. Echoes of Foreshadow is a horror fantasy that asks if love really is the answer, if the past can truly stay hidden forever, and what happens when the beast beneath your skin is nothing.

Shards of Hope: A Tweaker Witch's Memoir

Is recovery possible while remaining in active addiction? Mainstream recovery narratives say no. They present a singular path to survival requiring absolute sobriety. Shards of Hope shatters that limitation to forge a new route toward healing.

In this gritty and unflinching memoir, Jeff B. White chronicles his survival through childhood horrors and using crystal meth to cope. Facing an HIV diagnosis and the alienation of a society demanding conformity, he embraced harm reduction and spiritual reclamation to construct a sustainable life. Through the wisdom of witchcraft and the power of self-love, Jeff reveals how he navigated the shadows of his past allowing him to step forward into a hopeful future.

This narrative explores queer resilience in a way that is rarely done. With honesty and hilarity. Most importantly, with humility and intention.

If you are a queer person who has read recovery stories and thought "That kind of sounds like me but it's missing something..." This book is probably for you.

This story also serves as the foundational truth behind The Shards of Color Trilogy. The vulnerability detailed within these pages and the lessons found along the way are retold through the magic that defines Blush Born. Readers will discover the reality behind the fantasy while witnessing how pain can be alchemized into undeniable magic.
