Thomas Darkoak
Thomas Darkoak writes stories about identity under fire — a beaten-down orphan who discovers he’s the last of an ancient bloodline, an elite operative who discovers she was never told the truth about her own making. Start in the Scottish Highlands with Werewolves of Scotland, or in the shadows of a cyberpunk underworld with Fracture Point.
Before Thomas Darkoak wrote a single chapter, he spent two decades as a gamemaster — running Dungeons & Dragons, Shadowrun, and GURPS tables and building whole worlds that had to hold up under a room full of players trying to break them. That instinct shows up in both of his novels: a Highland fantasy saga and a cyberpunk espionage thriller, worlds apart in setting but built from the same obsession — ordinary people discovering exactly how strong they are once the pressure is real.
He lives in Connecticut, usually kilted, drumming with Mystic Pipes and Drums, or hand-binding his next draft himself.
Uilleam MacFarlane grew up with a drunk for a father, a dead mother he was blamed for, and a village that called him nothing worth repeating. The one place he felt safe was the forbidden forest everyone else was too afraid to enter.
Then a little girl went missing in those woods — and Uilleam was the only one who ran toward her instead of away.
That single act of courage tears open a secret his mother carried to her grave: he’s the last living heir of the Wolf Clan, sworn for generations to guard something older than the Highlands themselves. To claim it, he has to take an oath that will remake his body, his blood, and everything he believes about who’s allowed to be a hero.
Highland history, cyberpunk world-building, the mechanics of craft, and the true stories tucked inside Werewolves of Scotland and Fracture Point — straight from the author, no filter.
