It began with Dad hooked on anime since Akira and on epic fantasy since The Lord of the Rings. Sharing those stories with his sons became the best part of the week.

NOCTIS CODEX
Six worlds. One codex.
Dark fantasy by a father and his two sons, fifteen years in the making. Six interconnected novels, free to read.
What is the Codex?
Noctis Codex is six interconnected dark-fantasy novels across six different worlds, written by three authors, all connected by one sigil that appears inside every book.
We began over fifteen years ago watching anime, devouring stories, and drawing maps of worlds we weren’t yet skilled enough to write. We never stopped. Noctis Codex is the result of that lifelong passion.
Each book is its own complete world. You can begin anywhere.
SIX WORLDS. ONE CODEX.
Enter the Worlds

THE ARCHIVE
A father, two sons, and fifteen years of late-night "what if."
As Adam grew, the three of us moved from the classics into One Piece and Attack on Titan. Then Amir arrived Yu-Gi-Oh! first, then Alucard, then everything after. The "what if" conversations stretched later and later into the night.
Fifteen years on, Noctis Codex is our love letter to those genres the deep, dark, patient stories we always wished existed and could never find on the shelves. So we wrote them ourselves: tales of debt and inheritance, buried powers, and the heavy cost of carrying them. Ultimately, we want to see them animated.
One Sigil, Six Worlds.
The Noctis Codex sigil is not only our mark. It appears inside every book as a real object burning on a hand in Blood World, sealed into an amulet in Dragon Seal, scratched into the cells of Greyspire in Threadless, carried as a bone charm in Black Rune.
It means something a little different in each world. What it actually is, across all six, is the story we will spend the next decade telling.
Three Authors. One Family.
