Last Light in the Dark

A year of letting AI agents run my dev workflow. What they are genuinely good at, where they fail confidently, and the guardrails that make them useful.

Echoes in the Void — book two of the Last Light series — is here, and you get it first.

The reference page for the readers who finished The Final Covenant and want to argue about the order of events. Full chronology from 1971 to Year 13, plus a complete Chicago site index and faction reference.

A reference page for readers who keep notebooks. The pre-Collapse era through the Westminster vote, New Haven, and Sarah's generation — every major date, every faction, the geography of the slept-on-shoulder continent, and a re-read order for the chapter eleven flash-forward.

The full Graveyard of Empires master timeline, faction tree, and sector map in one place. Bookmark it and read alongside the series.

The reference page. Series chronology from year minus thirty-one through Akron. Faction tree showing the Vatican, the Council, and the Ninth Circle. Character relationship chart. Open threads.

The reference sheet I wished I'd had on my desk while drafting Raven's Rise — chronological reading order, the geography of Raven's Peak and the Council, and a relationship spine for paid members catching up.
