Equinox is a series of high fantasy / science fiction novels and short stories that has been in development since 2016.

The series draws inspiration from numerous sources, including but not limited to: Greek Mythology, Fullmetal Alchemist, Babylon 5, Lord of the Rings, Dune, Mass Effect, Space Battleship Yamato, and Chronicles of Narnia.

As high fantasy, it should be noted that while the main characters in this saga are similar to humans, our universe does not exist within Equinox.

The driving plot of the series revolves around an interstellar conflict between two races of immortals bent on oppressing the various mortal races throughout the galaxy, and the struggle by the protagonists to deliver their people into freedom over the course of thousands of years. Major themes include: family, perseverance, true heroism, and unity.

The main characters of the series are a pair of immortal Arion cousins who begin life in a steampunk age of a nation that is on the verge of incredible changes. The saga advances onward into the age of colonial space empires, ultimately getting swept up in the galactic conflict with the two interstellar antagonists mentioned above.

Equinox is notable for its length, detailed imaginary worlds, well-developed thaumatic (magic) system, and large cast of characters. Each of the novels and short stories ties together as key elements of the larger overarching saga.
