The Circle of Twelve, a novel for our times

My new novel, The Circle of Twelve is available now in paperback and eBook format. We live in an age of uncertainty. Around the world, old institutions are cracking, long-held truths are being questioned, and the future feels less stable than ever before. It is in such moments of upheaval that young people often step forward - full of conviction, courage, and a refusal to accept that the world must remain broken.

The Circle of Twelve was written with this spirit in mind. At its heart, the novel is about young people who discover that waiting for someone else to fix things is no longer an option. Instead, they must become the ones who stand up, who unite, and who shape the future - even when the odds seem impossible. The story blends myth and science fiction, but its themes are deeply grounded in our reality: the importance of friendship, the struggle to define identity, and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself.

There are several scenes in The Circle of Twelve where one or more of our protagonists face the barrel of a rifle and the threat of imminent death - but they do not back down because they stand for their faith in a higher purpose, a belief that "things can and will get better", and that some things are worth dying for (such as our friends, our families, and the ideals of our western civilisation).

In a time when civilisation itself feels fragile, The Circle of Twelve reminds us that renewal always begins with the courage of the next generation. These are not just characters in a book - they are a reflection of the real young people among us who are daring to believe, daring to act, and daring to hope for a better tomorrow built on the values of the past.
