Synopsis of Kuro-Sil:

I am the Chronicler, hear my story:

In the year 5027, humanity will be enslaved by an alien race called the Reptuuls.

But what if I told you a young boy befriended their oppressors?

Orren Hawkins is a boy with a dream: to make friends with the Reptuuls, no matter the cost. It won’t be easy due to the Reptuuls hatred of humanity. But by the grace of a long forgotten God, Orren has found two great and unusual friends, and they must learn to work together to rescue enslaved humans, as part of their destiny to unite man and Reptuul under God.

There’s just one problem: Orren is himself a drulak, a slave of Reptuuls. Can he still accomplish his dream?

Will you dare read the true story of a forbidden friendship no government wants exposed? Then welcome, one and all, to the legend of the Kuro-Sil!


About the Author:

Michael Small didn’t plan on becoming an author. He initially wanted to be a video game programmer, though he couldn’t wrap his head around the subject. But he always had a story to tell, and seeing how woke messaging had started infesting modern entertainment, he dropped out of college in 2016 and taught himself how to write, spending the years since creating his own world, which became his debut novel Kuro-Sil: The Book of Humans, Reptuuls, and God.


Michael is a Christian and goes to church regularly, using his faith to inspire his stories. He is also an avid gamer, and has been playing video games since he was three. He mainly likes pop culture stuff like movies, tv, and more recently manga, but he likes to try many things, like going on walks and drives, and working out (though he’s not a pro at it).

He is currently thirty years old and lives in Washington state.
