Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I’m Chadwick Rye — a Christian and a fantasy writer living in North Florida with my wife and four sons.

I write Christian dark fantasy — noble dark stories about ordinary people, hard roads, and the kind of courage that doesn’t make a lot of noise. Most of it is serialized right here, one chapter at a time, so you can start any series from Chapter 1 today.
