Death was only the beginning…

Traces: Songs of Destiny is a breathtaking spiritual fantasy that lifts the veil on the afterlife, introducing a world where angels walk, destinies are forged, and redemption awaits.

When Harriet dies, she meets a luminous being who shows her that the "afterlife," as she knew it, was just the beginning. Meanwhile, Adlai is born in a Kingdom of light as an Archangel in the making, marked for a purpose he can't yet see.

As timelines shift across the realms, earthly suffering and divine orchestration collide. With stakes that span spiritual warfare, healing, and reclamation, Traces explores the collision of human fragility and divine design.

Perfect for readers of The Shack, near-death encounters, or Frank Peretti, this first installment of an epic saga asks: Will you step into your eternal purpose?

Discover Traces — where death ends and destiny begins.

“You may not have experienced fullness in your earthly life,” said Creator, “but all things are reconciled in the true realm. My vision will be perfected, and you are a part of it because you are a part of Me.”
