On the fossil-built world of Mantidoa, a clutchless nymph must defy a zealot's purge and a whispering rot that feeds on death—wielding mercy as her only weapon.

THEY CALL HER PRAYPREY—
AND SHE REMEMBERS WHAT THE WORLD FORGOT.

Mercy cannot be undone.

Clutch to molt till all flesh be but dust and memory.

Adam J. Spencer

Adam J. Spencer doesn’t just tell stories—he carries them, the way rivers carry the shape of distant mountains. Born and raised in the blue-veined hollows of Appalachia, Adam’s voice bears the lilt of soil, silence, and memory. But his path, like the stories he now crafts, does not trace a straight line.After leaving home early, restless for something larger than the life laid out before him, he crossed oceans and continents, eventually making his way to Southeast Asia. There, under the vaulted sky of Thailand’s old capital, he studied, taught, and lived deeply. And when the tsunami struck in 2004, it changed everything.As a first responder in the ruins of what was once paradise, Adam bore witness to unspeakable loss. He helped catalog the unnamed, the forgotten. And though the world moved on, a part of him never did. That grief became a seed. And that seed—buried, tended, and eventually transfigured into PRAYPREY.Adam’s work defies easy categorization. His writing is mythic but never pretentious, fantastical yet always intimate. It pulses with the ache of memory and the breath of healing. He doesn’t write for spectacle—he writes for the broken, the brave, and the ones still chasing the light.In a world hungry for loudness, Adam’s voice stands out by refusing to shout. His work is not designed to trend—it’s meant to last. And it does so because it speaks from the fault lines between worlds: between cultures, continents, and kinds of knowing. You feel it in the nuance, in the tenderness, in the refusal to reduce identity to noise.Now in his early forties, based once more in the mountain-stitched place that first formed him, Adam creates not from nostalgia—but from integration. He is both Appalachian and global, both old soul and unbroken child, both the one who left and the one who returned.There is a reason PRAYPREY resonates so deeply with early readers and industry professionals alike. Because it doesn’t just deliver a high-concept science-fantasy epic—it delivers truth. Wrapped in sacred violence and mythic memory, it offers a vision of what might be possible when we let love outlast law. When we let mercy wield the blade.If you’re looking for voice,
you’ve found it.If you’re looking for something unforgettable,
it’s already begun.
