Welcome to Ens & Naught, the publication for my short fantasy fiction!

Every one of my pieces is set within the same world. They feature overlapping concepts, locations, and occasionally even characters, while also each being designed to function as a standalone short story.

The century spans from 1.00–1.99 until turning over to Æ 2.00 with the Second Saint, Æ 3.00 with the Third, and so forth.
