“Mother Altalune will judge my soul. The people of Chantara judged the blood spilled by my hands.” — from Cobeah’s restored personal writings, once banned throughout Chantara as seditious. Queen For A Day, a dark fantasy tragedy. Serialization begins Jan 2027. #BookSky #DarkFantasy #IndieAuthor

I'm CJ Mann III and I write literary dark fantasy and speculative fiction about myth, grief, doomed crowns, divine debt, queer devotion, and beautiful ruin. My current project, Queen For A Day, begins serialization in January 2027. #BookSky #DarkFantasy #LiteraryFantasy #IndieAuthor
