Someday I'm afraid the words

will outgrow me. So I write them down.

Fantasy author and lifelong story-collector, currently writing The Chronicles of Dalibor: a series about a continent built on a lie, a kingdom that forgot how to be afraid, and the generation that arrives as the walls begin to fail.

Where the stories come from

I've been building worlds since before I understood it was something you were allowed to keep doing. A journalism degree in Brasil taught me to chase a story anywhere. A literary studies master's across the world taught me how to shape one.

Now I write fantasy with folklore in its bones, grief in its margins, and the kind of magic that stays with you after the last page. The Chronicles of Dalibor is the story I've been quietly building toward all along.
