Storms of the Ancients, Arcane Legacy, book two, epic fantasy ocean voyage adventure ya young adult fantasy new release book launch photoshoot

After a year of writing and deep editing (all 100% human labor, by the way), I introduce to you my darling: Storms of the Ancients. Thank you for your amazing support that has allowed me to be a full-time author for over ten years now. The blurb:

A perilous ocean voyage.
A tempest older than empires.

Ten thousand slaves toil on a demon ship sailing into uncharted waters. One such wretch, unable to use her sorcery, is Bridget Burns. Mired in cutthroat survival, she fosters two allies: a terrified boy, and a gargoyle “cursed” with empathy.

Warlocks Augum and Leera, challenged by scheming crew, sail in pursuit. Their ship barrels toward a mythic storm no ship has ever breached. A storm hiding an ancient secret.

While Bridget must use her wits to keep herself and the boy alive, Augum and Leera must rally the crew to brave the maelstrom. All hope to discover what none have ever seen . . .

What lies beyond the storm.

A high-seas fantasy adventure set in the world of the epic bestselling sagas The Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon and Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone.

You can snag the paperback / ebook here.

Audiobook coming in 2026.

The post “Storms of the Ancients”, an epic ocean voyage I’ve always dreamed of writing, has just launched! appeared first on Coming of Age Fantasy Author Sever Bronny.

A perilous ocean voyage.
A tempest older than empires.

Ten thousand slaves toil on a demon ship. One such wretch, unable to use her sorcery—let alone turn into a dragon—is Bridget Burns. Mired in cutthroat survival, she fosters two allies: a terrified boy and a gargoyle with a most undemonic trait—empathy.

Warlocks Augum and Leera, each embroiled in crew conflict, sail in pursuit. They barrel toward an impenetrable storm infested with leviathans. A storm hiding an ancient secret.

While Bridget must use her wits to keep herself and the boy alive, Augum and Leera must rally the crew before braving the maelstrom, all in the hopes of discovering what none have ever seen . . .

What awaits on the other side.

A high-seas fantasy adventure set in the world of the epic bestselling sagas The Arinthian Line,Fury of a Rising Dragon, and Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone.

PREORDER HERE

I am thrilled to reveal the title, cover, and blurb for Augum, Bridget and Leera’s next book, coming December 5th 2025! Preorder will be in the comments below (link to preorder in my profile). I’ve always wanted to write an epic ocean voyage, so to be able to do it with Augum, Bridget and Leera is extra special. And oh boy did I have a blast writing this one. There’s a lot that happens in the book, and aside from a high-seas adventure, you will get to experience an opening up of the trio’s world in an epic new way. I dare not spoil what’s coming with another word, so in the meantime, if you haven’t already, I suggest you read Whispers of Wrath in readiness for Storms of the Ancients!

All my best to you and those you love,

I am thrilled to officially announce the release of the audiobook version of the trio’s latest epic adventure, Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1), which you can find on Audible.

It’s narrated by Emily Waters who did an AMAZING job, especially with the spell and language pronunciation which is as close to my original intent as I’ve heard. Link comments.

Blurb:

Augum is one of three champion warlocks. Alongside his betrothed Leera and their sister-in-war Bridget, the trio protect their kingdom by wielding an ancient power. A power that devours their empathy.

A power that turns them into dragons.

As the trio struggle to hold onto their humanity, strange events unfold. Lightning strikes that silence nearby warlocks. Fog that nullifies arcane artifacts. Moss infestations that siphon sorcery.

Recognizing that these events could destroy their newfound ability, the trio set out to investigate. Their quest for answers will take them to the far north, the deep sea, and the bowels of an abandoned castle.

But what they uncover will plunge all the kingdoms into peril.

For something is coming.

Something that sees everyone as prey . . .

Enjoy the adventure, and please consider leaving a review on Audible when you’re done listening

The post Something is coming. Something that sees everyone as prey. Officially announcing audiobook launch of Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1) appeared first on Coming of Age Fantasy Author Sever Bronny.

Three big pieces of news to share:

NEWS ITEM #1: I’m excited to announce the narrator for the imminently forthcoming audiobook Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1), featuring our illustrious trio Augum, Bridget and Leera. The audiobook is expected to launch any day now (just waiting for final approval from the review process).

And without further ado, that narrator is . . . *drum roll* . . .  Emily Waters!

Emily is an actor and voice-over artist based out of London, England. Emily’s theatre work includes the Olivier award-winning show The Play That Goes Wrong, as well as Bleak Expectations, and Spy Movie: The Play. Previous narrative credits include The Actress series, by Kimberly J.M. Wilson, and Hunt the Night, by Jason Wright and Alan Gamboa. Emily also works as a motion-capture artist, and has recently wrapped on a major video game to be released in 2026. She is delighted to have worked on Whispers of Wrath, and has enjoyed every moment of bringing this book to listeners, and looks forward to capturing the essence of the whole series.

Here’s a Google Drive link to an audio mp3 sample of the first chapter of Whispers of Wrath so that you can hear Emily at work! The audiobook will launch on Audible any day now, so keep your eyes peeled .

NEWS ITEM #2: I recently finished the first draft of book two in the Arcane Legacy saga, and the book has now entered the editing stages! You guys are seriously going to love this book as the trio go on an epic sea adventure (it’s a book I’ve always wanted to write too)!

NEWS ITEM #3: You remember that contest I ran a few months back, the question being, “Who is your favorite character in any of my books and why?” Well here’s a picture of the winners (chosen at random) and their prize (Jay and Wesley, shared with permission):

Stay tuned as there’s loads more to come. All my best to you and those you love,

Personal thoughts below:

After a year of work, I proudly present Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1). I was challenged writing this book as I took on three points of view: Augum’s, Bridget’s, and Leera’s. Three twenty-year-olds with an incredible power at their finger tips—and incredible inner turmoil as a result of wielding that power.

This is the start of a new saga and a new skillset for me, one gleaned from writing from Augum’s POV, then Anna Atticus Stone’s POV, and now Bridget’s and Leera’s POV’s. I hope you have as much fun reading the book as I had writing it.

Thank you kindly for the support, and I hope you’ll consider leaving a review on Amazon when you finish, and even posting about Whispers of Wrath on social media. Thank you again :)

After a solid year of work and keeping the cards close to my chest, I’m beyond excited to finally reveal the title, cover, and blurb of a brand new series coming December 6th (pre-order link below). It’s a saga about a certain trio of twenty-year-olds freshly graduated from an arcane academy of warlocks. A saga that could be read without having read prior works of mine.

Without further ado, I present . . .

Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1)

Augum Stone is one of three champion warlocks. Alongside his betrothed Leera Jones and their sister-in-war Bridget Burns, the trio protect their kingdom by wielding an ancient power. A power that devours their empathy.

A power that turns them into dragons.

As the trio battles callousness, strange events unfold. Lightning strikes that silence nearby warlocks. Fog that nullifies arcane artifacts. Moss infestations that siphon sorcery.

Recognizing that these events could destroy the power of the dragon, the trio set out to investigate. Their quest for answers will take them to the deep north, the deep sea, and the depths of an abandoned castle.

But what they uncover will plunge all the kingdoms into peril.

For something is coming.

Something that sees everyone as prey.

Coming December 6th, 2024. Pre-order now:

USA | UK | CANADA | AUSTRALIA | GERMANY | FRANCE | SPAIN | ITALY | NETHERLANDS | JAPAN | MEXICO | INDIA

The book will be available in ebook, paperback (paperback launches day of release), audiobook (launches early 2025), and on Kindle Unlimited.

The post Update on Augum, Bridget and Leera’s next saga appeared first on Coming of Age Fantasy Author Sever Bronny.

The audiobook for Flames of Stone (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, book 3) is now available for preorder!

Some select reader reviews to entice the soul:

“For fans of the Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon, the third installment of Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone delivers on questions that have spanned across multiple series.”

“… the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone doesn’t feel like a prequel and can stand alone as someone’s first introduction to Sever Bronny’s work.”

“Wonderful continuation of the series that sets up Arcane while still leaving enough untold to allow Mrs. Stone to feel mysterious and private when introduced despite knowing so much of her life from this book. Finished reading it in three days because I couldn’t put it down”

“These books like the others are so incredibly well thought out to even the tiny details that pop up books later. I would really recommend any of the books by this author although I’d rather say read them all. Probably one of the most profound worlds I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading again and again.”

“A powerful conclusion to a series that reignites my love of learning”

“Strap in for an emotional ride”

“All i can say is that i am grateful to have read this masterpiece”

The launch is April 30th! You can snag Flames of Stone here.

Two big pieces of news to share, including something amazing a fan has done.

News item #1: The trio’s long-awaited return—with a twist.

The Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon have earned some serious fans. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that I am writing a whole new saga of Augum, Bridget and Leera’s adventures—except I’m doing it from each of their points of view!

That’s right, you’re going to read what it’s like to be a water warlock through Leera’s eyes, and an earth warlock through Bridget’s. Above all, you’re going to experience three people struggling with the power to summon the dragon.

The first of the series will launch in December. I’m applying everything I learned writing and finishing Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone—and let me tell you, I am having a total blast writing it.

News item #2: A fan’s dedication

This is just awesome. A fan from Seattle named David has tattooed a certain motto from the Fury of a Rising Dragon series on his forearm. Isn’t that just amazing?

Here’s a quiz: do you recognize the motto, and what it means? Post your answer in the comments

All the best,
