The Tensorate series consists of four novellas published between 2017 and 2019. The first two, The Black Tides of Heaven and The Red Threads of Fortune, came out on the same day and can be read in either order. They follow twins Mokoya and Akeha, who grow up as children of the Protector, the ruler of their land. As adults, they find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing conflict.

The Descent of Monsters (2018) shifts perspective to an investigator uncovering a disaster at a research facility, and The Ascent to Godhood (2019) closes the series by looking back at the Protector’s rise to power. The novellas build a world where gender is chosen rather than assigned, and where magic is treated more like a branch of physics than a mystical gift.
