An illustrated journey into a living myth.
Mythos Penta is a five-book mythic anthology written and illustrated in tandem. Five interwoven volumes exploring transformation, memory, exile, and return. Written and illustrated as a single evolving practice, it is a living mythos shaped through drawing, revision, and silence as much as through story.
This project began not as a plot, but as a pressure, an accumulation of images, fragments, symbols, and unfinished sentences that refused to remain separate. Over time, these fragments cohered into a mythic structure: a world shaped by memory, exile, transformation, and the cost of becoming.
Each volume of Mythos Penta explores a different mythic axis, identity, loss, embodiment, transcendence, and return. They are not sequels in the conventional sense, but echoes, refracting the same deep questions through different figures, eras, and states of being.

What are the books about?
Mythos Penta is a mythic saga about a mortal love shattered by divine interference and stretched across a thousand years, where sovereignty battles possession, memory battles erasure, and grief becomes a force capable of bending reality itself. When the storm-god Veyros covets Valisse and secretly marks her lover Thalion through the Empusa Mormo, a destabilizing seed is planted that ripples across lifetimes. Valisse endures a millennium of divine captivity with her memories suppressed, while Thalion survives profound losses that fracture his soul. Upon their reunion, buried forces awaken, leading to the rise of the Necralarch—an embodiment of grief amplified into apocalyptic sovereignty. A guardian sacrifices himself to seal a corrupted timeline, restoring Thalion in one branch of reality where Valisse cannot exist, while she remains in another world, immortal and alone, choosing restraint over intervention. In the end, the saga is not about defeating gods, but about whether love can remain sovereign when reunion itself would collapse the balance of existence.
