Tower of Names is Anthony Frederick's dark fantasy thriller centered on a black obelisk that rose from the center of a city plaza, absorbing light rather than reflecting it. The Tower registers as massless on every instrument and bears a single inscription: "ENTER AND BE FORGOTTEN." Ten floors of impossible trials await those who dare climb, with survival statistics showing only one in five reaching the first floor, one in ten making it to the third, and barely two percent confirmed to have reached the top.

The protagonist enters with a false name — two syllables, carefully crafted over three years of preparation. His birthplace was erased by disaster, his parents dead before the Tower appeared, all records nonexistent. He didn't come to survive; he came to become someone else. The lie at the Wall of Names creates an anomaly the Tower's system cannot parse, and this anomaly becomes the key to everything.

The series explores themes of identity, the power of naming, and what happens when bureaucracy encounters something it cannot categorize. Each floor represents a different trial of selfhood, forcing climbers to confront aspects of their identity they've suppressed, forgotten, or deliberately concealed.

The Stolen Stream is Anthony Frederick's flagship chronothriller trilogy, set in a future where time has been commodified into a tradable currency controlled by the Eschendorf family empire. In 2489 Neo-Kowloon, the wealthy literally buy years from the poor through a system called the Distributed Toll — a mechanism that shunts entropy and aging onto unwilling bystanders while the elite extend their lifespans indefinitely.

Kai Eschendorf, the series' protagonist, is a 437-year-old temporal analyst who appears to be in his late twenties. Born into the family that built temporal capitalism, Kai discovers that his inheritance is funded by the stolen years of millions of unnamed donors across the diaspora. His arc takes him from complicit heir to revolutionary who ultimately triggers the Great Snap-Back — a cascading temporal event that restores stolen time to its rightful owners and topples the Eschendorf dynasty.

The trilogy explores themes of intergenerational wealth, the ethics of temporal extraction, and what it means to build a life when your existence depends on others' suffering. The Frozen Light Singularity at the heart of the Stream serves as both a scientific mechanism and a metaphor for how capitalism concentrates value while externalizing cost onto the invisible many.
