Writing at the intersection of silence, resonance, and memory.
I’m a Sri Lankan–born, Germany-based writer. My fiction bridges myth and machinery, spirals and histories, asking not what power is, but what it leaves behind.
From samurai thresholds to drowned empires, falcon-led coalitions to memory labs carved in ice, my work listens. It lingers. It returns. I write across forms: literary fiction, speculative history, philosophical science fiction, and mythopunk architectures.
My debut novel, By Blood, Ink & Salt, is now available on Amazon.
It tells the story of Shek Ying, a pirate sovereign who rose from the harbors of Macao to command the largest pirate fleet in history—guided by silence, bound by law, and haunted by the sea.
They called her a pirate. She called it a reckoning.
Told through unsent letters, intelligence reports, and salt-worn memory, By Blood, Ink & Salt is a lyrical, unflinching novel of rebellion, legacy, and the woman who wrote law on the waves.
Perfect for readers of R.F. Kuang, Madeline Miller, and Samantha Shannon.
This is the first in a constellation of over 25 completed works I now seek to bring into the world.
I am currently seeking representation.
You are welcome here.
Where story doesn’t shout. It listens.
