The Populist Revolt is a trilogy of novels set in Zendula where the Elves and Dwarves never entirely went away, Morlocks are not not urban myths but rather a frightening reality, and the Royal Werewolves are the hated symbol of the elite Hierarchy of the In Zendula, the Elves, Dwarves, Morlocks, and Werewolves of legend never disappeared—they became the hidden bloodlines, institutions, and ruling families of a modern nation now tearing itself apart. As the urban Progressive Diversity Party battles a loose alliance of rural Zendula First movements led by the populist Hood, the country’s ancient Pedigrees face political extinction, economic decline, foreign interference, and growing demands that they surrender their power—or disappear entirely. Behind the election, Morlock industrialists fight for control of Wellus House, Chinese spies target the nation’s technological secrets, alternative reporters expose corruption ignored by the legacy press, and a sentient artificial intelligence offers one struggling family the power to strike back against the system that betrayed them.
But Zendula’s political crisis is only the surface of a far darker conflict. A murdered Werewolf king haunts the royal palace, a vengeful banshee hunts those connected to a concealed atrocity, young Werewolves are kidnapped for illegal experiments, and the Mansion of Madness hides crimes linked to retired Western star Randolph Conall. As Hood’s coalition fights its way toward power, young Horsham becomes entangled with the mysterious Maeve, the secrets of his own family, and forces both supernatural and technological that could determine Zendula’s future. The trilogy builds toward a modern Guy Fawkes conspiracy to destroy the new government and assassinate Queen Regina—leaving Horsham and an unlikely alliance of reporters, sheriffs, Pedigrees, ghosts, and ordinary citizens to decide whether the country can truly be taken back, or whether victory will only awaken the next revolt.

Prequel: Broken Dreams
Lovell Rufus has not seen his son in fourteen years. Then Tommy appears on television. The footage shows a violent teenager attacking a refugee student. The news calls him a racist. A danger. A disgrace to Zendula.
Lovell travels to the capital expecting to confront the son he no longer knows. Instead, he finds an abandoned boy, an injured girl, a frightened generation—and a story the official media refuses to tell.
As riots spread through The Havens and ordinary citizens begin marching against a government they believe has forgotten them, Lovell’s search for his son becomes the first chapter in something much larger. A revolt is coming. But first, a broken family must decide whether it can become whole again.

A murdered child’s ghost demands vengeance. Young Werewolves are disappearing into a surgeon’s illegal laboratory. A foreign power is infiltrating Zendula’s institutions. And a sentient artificial intelligence has decided that protecting its creator may require destroying his enemies.
