Ivan Blažić is a Dutch fantasy author with Bosnian roots whose work combines dark fantasy, Byzantine Christian symbolism, industrial worldbuilding, and medieval-inspired politics. His debut novel, LUMEN: Rebirth - Arc One, is the first installment in the LUMEN saga, a series exploring faith, power, sacrifice, and hope in a world where sunlight has become a commodity.

Inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, medieval chronicles, and Byzantine history, he aims to create fantasy that feels both epic and deeply human.

Finished LUMEN? An honest review and your thoughts on Amazon or Goodreads would be tremendously appreciated! Even a small review helps indie authors more than you think.
