edit data

A.E. Rayne is an epic fantasy author from New Zealand who grew up with a love of history and, thanks to her beloved Swedish grandmother, a fascination with Vikings. Unable to locate or build a time machine as a child, she instead invented her own worlds and thrilling adventures. In them, she was usually wielding a sword, overcoming impossible odds, and heroically saving the day. She is tenacious, dogged, willful, loyal, and brutally honest. Which, if you’ve read her books, might just remind you of her most famous character, Jael Furyck.

She has a degree in Communication Studies with a major in television and has also trained as a graphic designer. So not only does she write vivid, cinematic books, but she designs their covers as well.

So, I wrote a new book. A prequel novella.

Hello!

After finishing Vale of the Gods, I had an immediate urge to turn back the clock. As an author, it’s quite hard to kill off some of your characters. Some, you take pleasure in (we can probably agree on who those might be!), but others affect you (still do). I really debated the end of Vale of the Gods, and half wondered if I should go back in, tweak it, and make myself cry less! But, of cour Read more of this blog post »

A.E. Rayne answered Karen Sage's question: Hi could you tell me when the 7th book in the Fate of the Furycks is coming out please ? I have just finished the whole series, starting with the Furyck Saga, then the Alekkan Lords and then the Fate of the Furycks. Love them but disappointed that I have to wait. Karen Yes. The Bones of Winter is due for release on the 25th August.

Quotes by A.E. Rayne (?)

“Time will do that to memories,’ Morac said wryly. ‘It twists and shapes them into whatever we want them to be. Whatever comforts us and allows us to sleep at night. Eirik is not alone in that.”
― A.E. Rayne, Winter's Fury

“I believe in you,’ he said. ‘So turn off all the voices in your head. Shut them all out. Don’t listen to any of them. Put one foot in front of the other. That’s it. Leave everything else alone.’ Jael frowned. ‘You can’t look back. What has happened is done. What is coming will come. And you’ll have all of us, right there beside you. All”
