False Positive

Release Date: October 20th, 2026

From a troubled childhood in the American South to the battle-scarred fields of Ukraine, Tristan Seth Nettles has lived a life that almost defies belief. Born between wealth and poverty, armed with stubborn determination and a restless spirit, Tristan navigates a world that seems determined to break him to it's mold — and somehow survives, grows stronger, and fights back.

False Positive is the true story of a man who outruns his past but never forgets it. As a rambunctious youth, soldier, international dark web drug dealer, outlaw, lover, and mercenary, Tristan travels the world — from armed home invasions in Mississippi to mountain top temples in Nepal, from Southeast Asian prisons to battlefields in Eastern Europe — chasing truth, redemption, and ultimately, justice. When the woman he loves, Ashley Oosthuizen, is wrongfully imprisoned and sentenced to death in Thailand, Tristans' mission becomes clear. What began as a reckless search for freedom turns into an international fight for someone else's.

Told with dark humor, brutal honesty, and heart-stopping intensity, False Positive is a modern epic — a real-life odyssey in the spirit of Forrest Gump and Catch Me If You Can. It's a raw, unforgettable journey through love, loss, crime, war, and the deep, messy beauty of being human.

False Positive is available for preorder now — in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook — only at Histria Books!

The King - A Bronze Age Tale

In a brutal world shaped by bronze and blood, Pan Shepherd returns — no longer a slave, but a man driven by love, vengeance, and an unrelenting determination to rescue Beocca, who was abducted during their wedding by a sadistic prince-turned-king. Set against the sweeping backdrop of a collapsing kingdom and a rising warlord, The King – A Bronze Age Tale continues the saga of the shepherd destined to become a king.
