Ambition glows brightest when the world begins to rot.
Glowing Ambition is a slow-burn epic fantasy for fans of high-stakes politics, creeping mystery, and morally complex protagonists.
In a world teetering on the edge of decay, disillusioned architect Barron Alarie claws for power within Nero Company-a prestigious design firm entangled in royal politics and hidden agendas. As the sentient planet of Tethia stirs beneath his feet and strange mushrooms spread like a sickness, Barron must navigate conspiracies, broken loyalties, and a city that punishes ambition.
This is a story where the emotional weight simmers beneath the surface, and the tension builds with each carefully laid brick in a sprawling world. Ideal for readers who enjoy layered worldbuilding, dry humor, and the slow unraveling of a larger, darker design.
