About the author

T.L. Routledge

7 books44 followers
T.L. Routledge was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, IL, and never really thought of himself as a writer or really much of a book lover. When Harry Potter was released, it immediately piqued his interest, as it did with millions of others. He listened to the Chronicles of Narnia on audiobook at a much younger age, but in the time between, it hadn't dawned on him that he loved fantasy until he matured and discovered his passion for writing epic fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller novels.

Now Tim lives in Austin, TX, and continues his passion for writing. He's regularly reading something new.

This is a fast little book but a great way to be introduced to a series. It definitely caught my attention and I will be moving on to book one asap

I loved the fast-paced story packed into these pages! It’s impressive how the author created such an engaging narrative in such a limited space. I found myself completely hooked from the start.

My only wish is that it didn’t end so unexpectedly, leaving me wanting more. The writing is wonderfully crafted, and the characters feel real and relatable, despite how brief the story is.

And T.L._ Marcus and Alexander had a great father. Leaving me both satisfied and craving more of their story.

Wow. Such an emotion punch for a short story! Thane is a must-read after you finish Immortal, the first book in the Immortal Chronicles. I think this is a great set up for book two, which will be released this summer! This is exactly what I’m looking for in a prequel short story/novella.

Great prequel to the Immortal Chronicles! Love getting to know some back story of Alexander and Marcus’s dad. Dark fantasy, vampires, need I say more?!
