The Crimson Rada Series
Solarium - Releasing June 21
Pre-order available soon
On June 21st 2026, the summer solstice, Solarium enters the world.
The longest day of the year has always carried symbolic weight. It is a moment of fullness, of illumination at its peak, of light that seems unchallenged.
Yet from that height, the slow return toward shadow begins. That paradox sits at the heart of Solarium, and at the heart of the Crimson Rada series itself.
This new installment does not begin a story. It continues one that has been unfolding across revolutions, continents, bloodlines, and centuries.
To fully appreciate Solarium, one must first step back into the firestorm that gave birth to the Rossignol saga.

The World That Changed Everything
The world of the 1790s were not simply turbulent. They were transformative.
The Haitian Revolution shattered the illusion of colonial permanence. The French Revolution redefined sovereignty and reordered Europe.
Monarchies and empires trembled. Ideologies once whispered in salons erupted into streets soaked with blood. Across oceans, old hierarchies fractured, and the modern world began to take shape. It also set the stage for the final days...
It was an era when theology, politics, commerce, and violence collided in ways that permanently altered the course of history.
The Rossignol family stands at the center of this upheaval. Plantation owners, merchants, scholars, soldiers, believers.
They are not observers of history. They are immersed and participants in it. Their fortunes rise and fall with the tides of revolution. Their faith is tested by chaos. Their loyalties are pulled between land, family, and survival.
The Crimson Rada series unfolds this era for you to experience first hand how this time truly was.
What emerges from the series is not merely a story of a displaced family. It is a lineage marked by responsibility towards to divine, by questions of inheritance that reach beyond property and into something older and more mysterious.
Sugar - Land and Legacy
Sugar begins in Saint-Domingue, in the shadow of cane fields and colonial ambition. The novel immerses readers in the fragile architecture of plantation society just before its collapse.
Wealth and elegance coexist with instability and moral tension. The question of revolution is not if, but when.
Through the Rossignols, readers experience the disintegration of a world believed permanent. The novel explores how quickly order can unravel, how systems built over generations can dissolve in months,
and how families are forced to make impossible choices when history turns violent.
At its core, Sugar is about land. About ownership. About rootedness. But beneath those themes lies a deeper current: inheritance. What do we truly pass down? Property? Trauma? Faith? Secrets?
The seeds planted in Sugar are not merely historical. They are metaphysical.

Blood - Lineage and Hidden Currents
With Blood, the narrative expands beyond the Caribbean and into Europe’s corridors of power. The Rossignols scatter, adapt, and survive.
Yet survival reveals something unexpected. Their family history appears intertwined with forces older than revolution.
Hidden manuscripts, sacred relics, whispered societies, theological fractures that stretch back centuries, Blood introduces the idea that lineage may carry more than memory. It may carry calling.
The novel explores secret fraternities, the manipulation of history, and the tension between faith and power. It raises unsettling questions without prescribing easy answers.
Is destiny inherited? Are certain families positioned at spiritual crossroads? What happens when sacred knowledge becomes currency?
Blood deepens the series’ architecture. It widens the scope from land to lineage, from survival to purpose.

Vigilantia - The Awakening of a Calling
Vigilantia is not merely a continuation of the story. It is a revelation of the family's calling.
Set largely in Italy, the novel brings the Rossignol family into direct confrontation with truths long hidden beneath centuries of ecclesiastical power and the secrets of history.
Rome becomes more than a setting. It becomes a vault. A threshold. A place where archives hold secrets that were never meant to surface.
The title means vigilance.
Not political vigilance. Spiritual vigilance.
In Vigilantia, the spiritual calling of the Rossignols is realized.
Through discoveries tied to Vatican records, ancient manuscripts, and guarded relics, the family begins to understand that their lineage carries custodianship.
The schism hinted at in earlier books, the tension between preservation and corruption, between sacred inheritance and its distortion, becomes unmistakably clear.
Italy serves as the stage for this awakening. Within its cathedrals, private libraries, and shadowed corridors of authority,
the Rossignols uncover fragments of a spiritual conflict that stretches back far beyond the 1790s. What once seemed like coincidence reveals structure. What once seemed personal reveals purpose.
The novel deepens the theological dimension of the series without reducing it to abstraction. Faith is tested. Institutions are questioned. Allegiances are clarified.
It is revealed that the Vatican is an ancient institution wrestling with forces both internal and external.
Vigilantia marks the moment when the Rossignols understand that they are now part of a greater story.
Survival becomes responsibility to all mankind.
And the quiet war beneath visible history steps into the light.

Solarium - Illumination and Reckoning
Now comes Solarium.
Through dual timelines, historical and modern, the descendants of the Rossignols confront the consequences of what their ancestors carried. The relics and manuscripts once hidden now resurface in a world shaped by technology,
political instability, and spiritual fragmentation.
The modern world is losing its bearings and the Rossignols are finding themselves with the task of saving it.
The modern thread examines a society wrestling with nihilism, accelerating artificial intelligence, collapsing moral consensus, and global tension.
The questions raised in earlier books become urgent. What is time? Is it linear, or layered? Can the past be sealed away, or does it echo forward with increasing intensity?
Solarium sharpens awareness to the broader questions of concisiousness and purpose. It suggests that history is not finished, and that some conflicts transcend generations.

The Road Ahead
The Crimson Rada series is not nearing its conclusion.
Four additional books are already mapped out, extending the narrative arc deeper into both historical, modern, and mythological threads.
The architecture of the story has been designed with long continuity in mind. Each novel reveals new dimensions while preserving the integrity of what came before.
Book Five is already well underway. The first draft is nearing completion and, if all proceeds as planned, it could be released as early as the winter of 2026.
The journey that began in the cane fields of Saint-Domingue has expanded into a multi-generational exploration of faith, power, time, and inheritance.
It is a saga shaped by research, by historical fidelity, and by a willingness to ask uncomfortable questions about the foundations of civilization itself.

Welcome to the Crimson Rada Soundtrack
The Crimson Rada series has never existed on the page alone.
From its earliest conception, the world of the Rossignols carried a sonic dimension - the pulse of something ancient beneath something modern. The story demanded sound.
That sound became a companion project: a progressive, cinematic soundtrack released under two albums that mirror the narrative arc of the novels.
Vigilantia
The self-titled Vigilantia album accompanies the spiritual unveiling that unfolds in Italy within the novel. It is atmospheric and brooding, and has a progressive rock intensity.
The music explores themes of hidden archives, sacred inheritance, internal struggle, and watchfulness. The soundscape mirrors the tension between faith and secrecy, revelation and restraint.
Where the novel reveals the calling of the Rossignols, the album gives that calling a pulse.
Solarium
The second album from Vigilantia, Solarium, shifts in tone while deepening in scope.
Where Vigilantia carries shadow and tension, Solarium carries separation and reunion. It is expansive, celestial, at times almost transcendent. Synth layers stretch wide like open sky.
Guitar passages feel luminous rather than brooding. Orchestral movements rise with a sense of revelation.
The album reflects the themes of illumination, convergence, and reckoning that define the novel. It explores the architecture of time, the weight of inheritance, and the tension between two people stuck in different worlds.
There are moments of quiet contemplation. There are moments of overwhelming crescendo. As with the story itself, the light is powerful — and not without cost.
Together, Vigilantia and Solarium form the sonic foundation of the Crimson Rada universe. They extend the narrative beyond the page and invite readers to experience the saga not only as literature, but as atmosphere.
The story has a voice.
Now it has a sound.
