edit data

Harrison DeVries is the creator of Hailgalad, a sprawling new fantasy universe filled with epic adventures, harrowing tales, and cozy taverns. Since 2021, Harrison has been crafting novels and the history of this land. His debut collection, Stories from Riverbrook Inn, brings this world to life through the eyes of those who sit by its the inn’s hearth.

When he isn’t documenting the legends of Hailgalad, Harrison spends his time in Southern California with his wife, Lauren, and their adventurous dog, Kona. A graduate of Marquette University (BA in Political Science) and American University (MA in Education Policy), Harrison uses his background in history and policy to add depth and realism to the kingdoms he builds.

Harrison DeVries answered Goodreads's question: What books are on your summer reading list this year? I have been on a bit of a Stoicism kick this summer. I read Letters from a Stoic, Meditations, and Discourses and Selected Writings by Epictetus. I also read Thebes at War by Naguib Mahfouz which was excellent.
