About the Book

History Has Been Keeping an Account.

Across centuries, a hidden ledger passes from hand to hand. Those marked by the carved eye confront choices whose consequences reach far beyond a single life.

PARADIGM explores the cost of balance, the burden of choice, and the ancient forces watching from behind the veil.

About the Author

Daniel Applegarth is a 41-year-old writer from a small town in Nebraska.

Growing up there wasn’t much to do, so he did what he did best and gave most of his time on reading and writing.
His passion for writing started in the 10th grade, around 2002, when he was assigned a five-page short story. It just kind of grew from there. Twenty years later, it’s still his main hobby.
His style has been heavily influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and George Orwell, specifically 1984. He’s also a big fan of Ayn Rand, especially Atlas Shrugged. Those authors really shaped the way he approaches storytelling.
He’s the kind of guy who wears a black suit and tie, peers through wire-rimmed glasses, and keeps a lot of thoughts to himself. But give him a blank page, and he’ll fill it with dystopian dread, cosmic horror, or a rant about individualism. Writing isn’t his job, but it’s definitely his escape.
