edit data

I am a British author living in Spain, best known for my epic fantasy series The Silvan.

From a young age, I was influenced by science fiction and fantasy, reading authors such as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and J.R.R. Tolkien. My fascination with elves and my desire to explore their lives, social structures, and politics led me to create my own saga.

I strive to create coherent imaginary worlds and deep, complex characters. My writing is characterised by exploration of the warrior's mind, intense emotions, and well-developed magical systems I truly hope you will enjoy.

Destiny of a Prince. The Silvan Saga is Almost Over…

Destiny of a Prince Update

OK I’m late. I’m sorry.

It’s taken me a year to publish each book in this epic fantasy series, but Destiny of a Prince will take just a little longer.

I never expected the series to get so complicated, seriously. But it did. The plot twists and turns, the mysteries I managed to create and now need to solve. There are a serious number of plot threads and I don’t want to

R.K. Lander answered Tomas Grizzly's question: What's the chronology in the books past the Silvan series? Same as the publication order (Order of Shirán -> Dawn of Adakia) or is that irrelevant? I'd be returning to the series and I want to avoid spoilers/anachronisms by choosing the wrong order. Hi Thomas. The Silvan, Elven Worlds, Silvan Outlands. That is the ideal reading order. Have you already finished The Silvan?
