NAGA SATRIA – THE SERPENT’S HEIR

  Book Cover Elaborate Sword Handle looking like a serpent



by KAL KAMEL
Imagine a world of volcanic islands, dense jungles, and shimmering turquoise seas. This is Nusantara, the 13th-century Southeast Asian archipelago, a vibrant maritime crossroads teeming with a thousand cultures. It was a world of immense wealth, where sprawling port cities were home to Javanese kings, Malay sultans, Bugis sailors, and merchants from Arabia and China. Here, empires were built on the spice trade, fleets of massive wooden ships ruled the waves, and the fate of kingdoms was decided by the monsoon winds.

Into this world steps Arya Suryanata, the grieving son of a legendary general from the Singhasari kingdom. He inherits not only his father’s command but also Naga Satria, a sentient, soul-bound keris (a distinctive dagger from Southeast Asia known for its asymmetrical and often wavy blade), a magic blade humming with the ancient power. His first command from the ruthless king of Singhasari is absolute: lead a fleet, find the defiant trading kingdom of Selat Kenchana, and break them.
But the King’s orders betray every principle of honor Arya was raised to uphold. He is torn between his duty as a soldier and the legacy of his father, a man who wielded power with wisdom, not just brutality.

As Arya's fleet navigates treacherous mangrove swamps, he finds himself in a shadow war against an unseen enemy. He is confronted not only Selat Kenchana's prideful war chief, but also by Melati, a beautiful, intelligent and enigmatic envoy who speaks of peace, forcing Arya to question if his king’s path is the only one.
Haunted by visions from the blade and tested by a power he can barely control, Arya must make a choice. The path of duty leads to destruction and a loss of his soul. The path of honor could be seen as treason. With the fate of kingdoms hanging on his command, Arya discovers that the most dangerous serpent he must master is not the one in his sword, but the one coiled around his own heart.
Background
The book was meticulously researched to bring the incredible world of 13th-century Nusantara to life. The politics, the real historical figures, the design of the ships, and the spiritual beliefs around the keris and the Nāga are all rooted in actual history and mythology. Being from Southeast Asia and from Malaysia in particular, my aim was to create a story that isn't a generic fantasy setting, but rather, a real piece of world history, a "hidden history" brought to life.

Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night: 30 Days to Reclaim the Beautiful Future Destined for You

  Book Title on Cloud covered book background.




Even in the midnight hour, His promises still stand. Will you dare to believe He has not forgotten you? Declaring the Dawn in the Midst of the Night is a 30-day spiritual invitation to those navigating doubt, disappointment, or silence from God. This is not a book of trite reassurance – It is a deeply honest journey into Scripture, prayer, and the possibility that the Father’s hand has been guiding you all along. Written by A. L. Schilling – a seasoned diplomat who spent most of his life far from faith – this book speaks not from theory but from a hard-won testimony. Despite years of skepticism, personal loss, and spiritual resistance, grace found him. Now, Schilling offers readers the same space he was given: 30 days to test and see if the Word is true. Each day presents a brief meditation grounded in Scripture, a heartfelt prayer, and a quiet challenge to take one more step forward. From Psalm 27 to Mark 10, from the wilderness journey of Exodus to the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel, these pages invite readers to encounter God – not through blind belief, but through scriptural engagement and honest conversation. If you have felt forgotten, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin, this book will meet you where you are. You don’t need to fix yourself before coming. “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” – Lamentations 3:22–23 Come walk these 30 days. The dawn is already breaking.

Tears from A Journal

 Gates with a Heart Upon it.


Tears from A Journal


You don't need to lose a loved one in order to be more appreciative of those still around you, like your family, close friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers. Forget about the elements that distinguish us from one other, let go the notion of countries, federal agents, 007's, religions, borders, and walls! They are mere illusions compared to the deeper values rooted in humanity.

I know we are all very busy people, caught in the habitual chaos of our own realities, but still, when was the last time you used your love and strength to help a complete stranger without expecting anything in return?

16 Missing Bible Verses: The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters

 Book Title on Green Background


The story behind why they were deleted and why it matters
In this compelling book, we delve into a narrative that many Christians are unaware of, one that could reshape the bedrock of their faith. 16 verses, quietly absent from the well-thumbed pages of modern translations like the NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, and CSB, sparks a critical question: what else don't we know? Advocates of the King James Version argue for the inclusion of these verses, while others question the integrity of the scriptures, citing these omissions as evidence of manipulation or error. This book isn't about complex theories or hidden motives. It's about straightforward facts that anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, can observe for themselves—By simply turning the pages, one will encounter the gaps, the silent spaces where these verses once resided
However, the mystery begs the question: were these verses originally absent or subsequently added? Were the 16 verses lost, or were they insertions that never belonged?
Here's what "16 Missing Bible Verses" can offer the reader:
Identification of the missing verses and why they're not in modern Bibles.
Insights into the historical changes of the Bible and discussions on its reliability.
Examination of the significance of these verses and how they can influence your faith
Resources to help you investigate these verses and the history of biblical text.
Presented in a language free from academic jargon and distilled into plain speech, the book extends its reach to every believer, seeker, and skeptic with the message that the past is not a riddle to be feared but a narrative to be comprehended. Whether one's faith is unwavering or non-existent, this book serves as a guiding light of understanding. For the believer: this book will give you the footing to stand firm and uncover why these verses have slipped through the cracks of modern translations and discern their significance in your spiritual journey. For skeptics who cite the 'missing' verses as evidence of the Bible's unreliability, this book presents a factual exploration that helps you delve into the historical context and discover the data behind these omissions. It provides you with a well-rounded and informed view of the Bible's evolution and validity.

The Thread That Held: A true story of two lives torn by war, and one love that refused to die

 Soldier and Woman holding hands agains a war torn background


The Thread That Held:

A true story of two lives torn by war, and one love that refused to die


In the chaos of a war-torn Iraq, two strangers were never meant to meet - let alone fall in love.

Shawn, a young soldier raised in the foster system, found purpose and belonging in the U.S. Army. Trained for danger and sent across the world, he never expected that the most unforgettable moment of his deployment would come not from combat but from a quiet exchange with a local woman inside a U.S. base.

Nahrain, an Assyrian risking everything to work alongside American forces, dreamed of survival and a future beyond the gunfire. But when her vehicle was attacked and she disappeared, Shawn was told she had died.

Over a year passed. The dust of war settled - but the grief remained.

Then, with one unexpected message, everything changed.

A true story, The Thread That Held is a sweeping, soul-stirring novel of love across borders, resilience in the face of devastation, and the impossible journey that reunited two lives. From the streets of Baghdad to a refugee and distant continents, this is a story of hope, sacrifice, and the human cost of conflict - told by the couple who lived it.




About the Authors: 


Shawn and Nahrain Taylor are the husband-and-wife team behind The Thread That Held: A true story of two lives torn by war, and one love that refused to die.

Shawn was raised in the United States, growing up in foster care before enlisting in the U.S. Army. He served in Germany, Kosovo, and Iraq, where he developed a reputation for resourcefulness and leadership. After the war, he transitioned into technology and entrepreneurship, building companies from the ground up while carrying the experiences of conflict and survival with him.

Nahrain was born and raised in Iraq. An Assyrian Christian, she endured the harsh realities of war, supporting her family and working on a U.S. military base to build a better future. Her resilience was tested when a targeted attack nearly ended her life, forcing her to flee her homeland and start over as a refugee in Australia.

Their paths crossed in Iraq during the height of conflict, where an unlikely friendship grew into love against all odds. Separated by war and borders, they fought to stay connected - eventually reuniting, marrying, and building a life together in Australia and the U.S.

Today, Shawn and Nahrain share their story not as a tale of tragedy, but as a testament to resilience, faith, and the enduring power of love.
