For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to ancient history — not the sanitised version taught in schools, but the raw, unfiltered accounts left behind by the writers and chroniclers of the ancient world. Their texts fascinated me precisely because they were not trying to be poetic. They were trying to record what they saw.
What troubles me most is how often historical facts are buried, reinterpreted, or quietly erased to fit the politics of the moment. Myths are dismissed as imagination. Ancient testimonies are reduced to allegory. And somewhere in that process, something true gets lost.
My books are an attempt to recover some of that truth — or at least to ask the questions that official history prefers to leave unanswered. I write dark fantasy and documentary fiction grounded in Bulgarian mythology — the direct heir of the Thracian — real archaeological sites, and the ancient texts that most people never get to read. Every story I tell begins with something that actually happened, or something that someone — long ago — genuinely believed they witnessed.
I publish everything independently, under my own imprint, because I believe that stories which challenge comfortable narratives deserve to exist on their own terms.
Welcome to Hidden Truths Books. I hope you find something here that makes you look at the ancient world a little differently.
Myths are not fantasy. They are memories.
Ancient texts are not allegory — they are testimony.
