Book 1
Null Tier
LitRPG / Progression Fantasy / Sci-Fi
Ten years after the Convergence cracked reality and opened rifts to parallel dimensions, Kai Nakamura mops floors at the Pacific Rift Aquarium in Neo-Seattle. He's a Null — Tier 0, no rift absorption, no powers, no future. He's mostly fine with that. Then a void rift opens in Hall C that nobody else can hear, his best friend's bootleg scanner goes off the charts, and a HUD overlay only he can see starts showing him fragments of a world that nobody else remembers existed. Kai's about to find out his Tier 0 reading was a misread by ten orders of magnitude — and the only Tier 9 in the world built his career on making sure nobody else ever climbed the ladder. Book One of the Resonance Trilogy: a funny, heartfelt LitRPG about a janitor with the wrong number on his file and the friends who help him figure out what to do about it.
Book 2
Signal
LitRPG / Progression Fantasy / Sci-Fi
Kai Nakamura is no longer the kid who mopped floors at the aquarium. He's a Tier 4 Resonant, the face of a global movement called the Rememberers, and the only person on Earth who can give people back the world they lost when the Convergence rewrote reality. Cherry blossoms grow where he walks. Songs nobody has heard in a decade play from empty rooms. And in Geneva, the First Resonant is finally paying attention. As Kai's team pushes deeper into the Cascadia Rift Zone and toward the Mariana Void — the deepest void rift on the planet — the cost of remembering starts catching up with the people he loves. Book Two of the Resonance Trilogy. Bigger team, bigger spectacle, harder hits. Every victory leaves a mark.
Book 3
Threshold
LitRPG / Progression Fantasy / Sci-Fi
The world has split into three. The GRA has militarized under Voss and his warnings about Tier 10. The Rememberer Coalition follows Kai. The Unbound Network answers to no one. Above the Mariana Void, a structure has risen out of the ocean — a cathedral of fractal geometry the Architects call the Threshold — and on the other side of it is the space between dimensions itself. Kai is closer to his mother than he has been in eleven years. He is also closer than any Resonant has ever come to a tier nobody is supposed to reach. The conclusion of the Resonance Trilogy is a love letter to everyone Kai has lost, and a question the series has been building toward since the first chapter: what would you bring back, if you could bring anything back at all?
