The resurrection of an ancient institution. Those chosen as sacrifice. The woman who must ferry their souls to torment.

The Great Sentinel Archivist, Penelope Etherington, has discovered an instructional tome for the formation of the Sentinel Legions: a fearsome and brutal military unit and school. Forced by their masters to resurrect it, Shay Bluefaltlow is thrust to the top of society. Here the glare burns fiercely, for she is as adored for her incredible powers as she is reviled for her diverging appearance.

But she must learn to tolerate both, because wars that were once the faintest whisper of suggestion, have become a howl of bloody truth. And nowhere remains untouched: not the school, nor her students; neither weeping earth, nor the vast beings they must bond and lead to battle.

Now only one question remains. Will Shay and Penelope defeat their many enemies, before their madness consumes them?

Also known as Seeker Book 2.

Set in a world that fuses Regency-era aesthetics with magic and intrigue, The Sentinel Archives explores themes of discovery, power, and the balance between personal ambition and responsibility. Samuel’s writing style, marked by its atmospheric depth and attention to detail, pulls readers into his richly constructed worlds, where each turn of the page uncovers something both familiar and new.

Now living in Edinburgh with his partner and their cat, Samuel continues to write stories that challenge the boundaries of fantasy, bringing fresh perspectives to a genre steeped in tradition. As he expands The Sentinel Archives, he remains dedicated to creating immersive, thought-provoking narratives that captivate readers and leave them eagerly awaiting what comes next.

The Sentinel Archives

In a world where ancient leviathans sing beneath the surface of everyday life, The Sentinel Archives carves out a quiet, eerie niche in the realm of flintlock fantasy. Set in the soot-streaked city of Fivedock—equal parts smoke, secrets, and stone—the story follows Shay Bluefaltlow, a young woman pulled from her modest existence into a hidden order of archivists who track the unknowable: beings too vast and strange for ordinary minds to comprehend.

Rather than rushing toward action, this series lingers in its language, unfolding slowly with the rhythm of an old journal passed hand to hand. The atmosphere is thick with mystery, where scent songs hum through the air and danger doesn’t always arrive with a sword in hand. What sets it apart isn’t spectacle—it’s the tension between duty and self, between what’s forgotten and what insists on being remembered.

Perfect for readers who enjoy immersive, slow-burn fantasy layered with political intrigue and psychological depth, this series leans into the quiet power of discovery. There’s something haunting about how the world opens up—one hidden archive at a time.


The Sentinel Archives consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
