edit data

J.A. Strating writes adult epic fantasy, with a particular love for darker worlds, large-scale conflicts, dangerous creatures, and characters forced to survive within systems stacked against them.

His love of fantasy began early with authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, David Eddings, and Terry Brooks. More recent influences include Peter V.
