After you read
If the Codex hooks you, begin with The Scarab for Roman conflict and resistance, or The Wisdom of Huracán for climate, grief, and sacred ecology.
Now Available from Nereidonia Press
Begin with the stories.
Two Nereidonia Press novels are now available: The Scarab, a tale of resistance at the edge of Roman expansion, and The Wisdom of Huracán, a story of climate, grief, sacred ecology, and survival.
The Scarab
An Alexandrian slave, a Phoenician captain, and a Roman navigator make an impossible Atlantic crossing — arriving at the edge of a civilization about to face its greatest threat.
The Wisdom of Huracán
A story of climate, grief, sacred ecology, and survival — set in the heart of the Nereidonian world at the moment the storms began to change.
What is Nereidonia?
