In a world where the sun bleeds crimson and the balance between life and death is fragile, Ducaine de Bordeaux must confront the sins of his past to reclaim a future stolen from him. Red Sun Rising is a gripping tale of vengeance, destiny, and the cost of power.

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, science fiction, history, morally complex characters, and epic world-building, this novel will pull you into a realm where even the brightest light casts the longest shadows.

Allen Lyle lives in Athens, Georgia, (GO DAWGS!) where he shares his home with his wife, four cats, a sweet pup, and several hundred books. A lifelong devotee of science fiction and fantasy, he fell under their spell at a young age and never looked back. He has always been drawn to the intersection of history and the speculative, asking questions like, “What if the Byzantine Empire had rockets?” or “What if Tolkien’s world had taken place in the Golden Age of Piracy?” 

His fascination with history extends beyond pixels and pages—he’s an enthusiastic collector of antiques, a lover of travel, and a devoted fan of minor league baseball. When he’s not writing, Allen can be found painting miniatures or reading.
