A man-god and his army of religious zealots swarmed the South nine years ago. As a child, Malik watched severed heads falling, blood spurting onto concrete, and his dear grandfather run through by a black sword.
But there’s peace…somewhere. At least that’s what Malik tells himself as his body is ripped apart by whips at a religious conversion camp. That’s what his best friend whispers as he frantically creates new force jetpacks to rescue Malik.
Yet when war bursts through the skies, and the sky troopers, assassins, and heroes fall—when the world comes crashing down—Malik Zzoha stands strong amidst the sands, infidel of the state number one.
Golden Skies is the first book in the The New Order trilogy.
I’m a presidential scholar, residential assistant, and senior at Alabama Agricultural & Mechanical University. I endeavor to become a police officer and join a federal agency in the future.
When I’m not writing I like to play For Honor and pretend I’m a knight, laughing with happiness at my victories and then almost having aneurisms when defeated. Challenge me to a duel anytime 😀

- What is on your nightstand?
Iron Gold by Pierce Brown and a cup of water.
COCO
- What author would you totally fan?
Pierce Brown or Terry Goodkind for sure! Love both of their respective series or trilogies!
LOOK AT THAT FACE
- What makes you cringe?
Not many things…but if I had to pick something – perhaps very gruesome deaths. Like the Game of Thrones Red Wedding.
- Do you obsessively plot out each point or just go with the flow?
I mostly go with the flow in terms of dialogue and how the characters get to a goal. I only plot out the framework in detail. Going with the flow allows for off the cuff humor and style.
CUTEST DOG EVER
- Is there a word you love to use?
I only use it very sparingly – but “perspicacious”. I learned that one from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher series. I feel extremely fancy when I whip that out in my writing haha.

I love the cover and premise.
The premise is intriguing. Sounds like some one world religion agenda kinda stuff.
