Book One of the Cúpla trilogy.
Veni, Vidi, Exitvs (Latin: I came, I saw, I left)
A time-slip historical fantasy set in ancient Ireland.
In first-century Hibernia, King Connor of the Eblanani is haunted by visions of battles yet to come—dreams that burden him with knowledge no ruler should possess—and a terrible choice: defy fate or submit to it. As Rome’s feared Ninth Legion advances under General Agricola, visions and bloodshed become inextricably entwined.
When Octavia, the daughter of a powerful Roman senator, flees the rigid world of Rome, finding herself in the wilds of Ireland, her path collides with Connor’s. Drawn together by an impossible attraction, and protected by ancient healing and older magic, their forbidden love threatens to ignite forces that could alter the course of history itself.
Millennia later, Professor Declan Reardon dreams of the same wars, the same warriors, and a king who feels like kin. As echoes of the past intrude upon the present, Declan is drawn into a legacy shaped by blood, loyalty, and lives bound across time.
Blending recorded facts with Celtic myth, Veni, Vidi, Exitus is a sweeping historical fantasy of echoing lives and forbidden romance. Set against the Roman invasion of ancient Ireland, living history refuses to remain in the past.
Perfect for readers of Outlander and The Mists of Avalon.
“When the boundaries of the past, present, and future blur, history loses its footing, leaving no basis for construction.”— Mug Ruith, Archdruid

Book Two of the Cúpla series
When fate spans two thousand years, no one escapes its shadow.
In ancient Hibernia, King Connor returns from Rome to a homeland on the brink of annihilation. Civil war, betrayal, and evil gods whispering through the veil force him into an impossible choice: break the cycle of bloodshed or let his world burn. As enemies close in and old loyalties fracture, the survival of his family, and his entire people, hangs by a single, fragile thread.
Across the centuries, Professor Declan Reardon awakens into a nightmare of modern power and ancient revenge. A ruthless adversary rises from the darkness, manipulating governments, weaponising history, and hunting Declan for a secret woven into his very blood. As London faces a catastrophic threat, Declan must confront the truth linking him to Connor, a bond forged beyond time, beyond death, beyond reason.
Two lives. Two eras. One destiny spiralling toward a reckoning neither man can escape.
Both must decide what they are willing to sacrifice… and who they are willing to become.
The past is calling. The future is dying. The time to Seize the Night has come.
To be released in April 2026, and Book Three is coming soon after.
