Kirrin begins with very little: no family name worth mentioning, no place in Tatak Rhe’s powerful circles, and no reason to believe his life will ever reach beyond the streets that raised him.
But Kirrin is quick, observant, and very good at surviving.
A chance encounter with one of Tatak Rhe’s most powerful overlords changes the course of his life. Impressed by Kirrin’s quick mind, nerve, and refusal to be easily intimidated, the man sees potential in the street rat others would overlook.
What follows is Kirrin’s transformation from survivor to weapon.
Training opens doors that were never meant for someone like him. He learns to fight, spy, deceive, and move through the hidden machinery of a city ruled as much by secrets as by wealth and power. As his skills grow, so does the value others place on them, drawing him deeper into dangerous alliances, political games, and conflicts where knowing the wrong secret can be as deadly as drawing a blade.
Every step upward gives Kirrin more power over his own fate. It also forces him to decide what kind of man he is willing to become in order to keep it.
The Chanmyr Chronicles is an adult fantasy series of intrigue, dangerous alliances, hidden agendas, and one street-born survivor finding his place in the shadows of Tatak Rhe.
ON BORROWED LUCK
On Borrowed Luck is the first book in The Chanmyr Chronicles. Kirrin is a sharp-tongued, streetwise troublemaker in Tatak Rhe who survives on nerve, quick thinking, and a talent for finding trouble.
One reckless encounter brings him to the attention of the powerful So’har Hak’kar. Rather than punish him, Hak’kar recognizes Kirrin’s potential and offers him training, a place in his household, and a path into a world Kirrin never expected to enter.
It is the beginning of Kirrin’s transformation from street rat to skilled fighter, spy, and assassin.
LUCK'S PAWN
Luck’s Pawn is the second book in The Chanmyr Chronicles. After a failed mission costs Kirrin his overlord’s favor, he is given a chance to redeem himself with an assignment far from Tatak Rhe: spy on a potential ally and return with information Hak’kar can use.
But the pieces Kirrin uncovers don’t quite fit, and returning home with half an answer could be as dangerous as staying. His search draws him beyond ordinary political intrigue and into a world of ancient ruins, restless ghosts, and creatures he never expected to encounter. What he discovers may be enough to restore his position, if he can survive the journey home.
LUCK'S RUIN
Luck’s Ruin is the third book in The Chanmyr Chronicles. Kirrin has come a long way from the street rat who first stumbled into Hak’kar’s service. Now he is trusted with theft, sabotage, spying, and the dangerous work his patron cannot afford to have traced back to House Charam.
His latest assignment sends him back into the southern desert, where an accidental discovery has revealed ancient Faenyr ruins hidden beneath the cliffs. Accompanied by a scholar and his enigmatic shadow-dancer mentor, Kirrin begins uncovering a mystery tied to old magic, forgotten history, and Hak’kar’s growing obsession with prophecy.
But the deeper Kirrin digs, the more he begins to question what his patron is really searching for — and whether proving his value to Hak’kar may come at a greater cost than he expected.
LUCK'S DAGGER
Luck’s Dagger is the fourth book in The Chanmyr Chronicles. Kirrin is no longer the street rat Hak’kar first took into his service. Years of training have made him a skilled fighter, spy, and assassin, trusted with the work House Charam cannot afford to have traced back to its doors.
But greater skill has brought greater danger. Kirrin is drawn deeper into Hak’kar’s ambitions for Tatak Rhe, where political alliances shift quickly and usefulness is often the only thing standing between a servant and a knife in the dark.
As Kirrin’s influence grows, so does the risk of becoming a weapon in someone else’s game.
