Cacoethes — The itch to write.
Robert Placido
Writes at the intersection of heroism, humanity, and high stakes. Found family, moral courage, and what people do when the ground gives way.
The music opens the door. The book is where you live.
Book 1 of The Sunstone Prophecy
The Architect of Whispers
Some secrets are forged in light. Others are paid for in ashes.
Kaelen Voss was a farm boy on the edge of the Direwood until an army of silent, bone-skinned nightmares killed his parents and took his sister. He is left with his father’s quarterstaff, a cold amulet, and three people who decide he is worth following: a cynical thief, a fiercely protective blacksmith, and a cleric who sees things. What hunts him is after the divine spark he never knew he carried.
