What if creation was never meant to stop? What if believing hard enough didn’t just shape ideas, but worlds?

Ross Evans lived in a world without magic, gods, or miracles. Then a violent rupture tears him out of it and drops him into Teraulis, a ruined technological realm patrolled by metallic guardians and scarred by a catastrophe it helped create.

Teraulis has merged with Pasaulis, the original world where magic flows through everything and creation itself was born. Between them rages a war more than a thousand years old, fought across realities as the veil between worlds thins.

The truth is worse: Ross’s world was created, built from the desire to erase magic entirely. Now, in a land that seems to recognize him, strange changes stir beneath his skin. With Sara, a hardened warrior with secrets of her own, Ross is pulled into deadly politics and ancient power he barely understands.

Long ago, the original god of creation tried to end it all. Defeated and cast down, he is returning, and using creation itself as a weapon. As reality fractures, Ross must choose whether to cling to who he was or become something else to keep existence from collapsing.

Trading Existence is a dark fantasy sci-fi novel about fractured realities, forbidden creation, and a man caught between the person he was and the one he may need to become.
