This story was never meant to be public.

Book One
The Death Saint
Nathaniel Marten, raised by an underground exorcist, is hunted by a cartel warlord who worships Santa Muerte—and by a young woman who carries death itself inside her. As prophecy, politics, and the supernatural converge, Nathaniel is forced to confront forces that challenge not only his faith, but the survival of the world he thought he understood.
"A cinematic, intellectually grounded supernatural thriller."
What I Write
Randy Fitch – Supernatural Thriller Author
I write supernatural thrillers that fuse historical investigation, ancient theological texts, and modern mind-science into a disciplined cross-genre exploration of spiritual warfare. The result is fiction that resists easy answers and treats belief, power, and sacrifice with seriousness rather than spectacle.
Historical Mysteries
Ancient texts, suppressed doctrines, and forgotten truths buried beneath centuries of institutional survival.
Global Conspiracies
Power, secrecy, and hidden agendas operating at the intersection of religion, politics, and belief.
Mind Science
Modern neuroscience and emerging technologies colliding with the limits of human consciousness and spiritual experience.
Supernatural Theology
Spiritual warfare portrayed through doctrine, prophecy, and moral consequence rather than fantasy or occult abstraction.

No. The Death Saint is written to stand on its own. The prequel novella, The Birth of Shadows, deepens the backstory of key characters and themes for readers who want additional context, but it is not required to understand or enjoy the main novel.

The series centers on Nathaniel Marten and Alexandria Locke, two individuals shaped by opposing spiritual inheritances. Their journey unfolds as they confront forces that challenge not only their personal faith, but the structures that define belief and authority.
Readers who enjoy intellectually grounded thrillers-particularly those interested in history, theology, conspiracy, and moral complexity-will find the series engaging. The books favor tension, consequence, and ideas over spectacle.
