About the author

Jeff Pantanella is a Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) graduate, Guggenheim Fellow, fine art painter, video game maker, and fantasy novel author. He can’t remember names or dates and was told there’d be no math in writing fiction, so, here we are.

Jeff has always been drawn to the complexities confronted by being the hero in any story. Whom do you save, and what if you can’t? His “Ever Hero Saga” is his debut series into the world of dark fantasy fiction, and he explores just how challenging it can be when you are indeed that hero or you're not and think you are.

Welcome to the Three Kingdoms of Hanna and your introduction to the life and times of the Ever Heroes. Follow Kasai's adventures which span different lands, realms and worlds as he does his best to fight the forces of evil, that unknowingly, he lets loose on the Mortal Realm.

I hope you have as much fun reading my novels as I had writing them.

Interesting story of a lost princess - very high fantasy/dystopian world read. Enjoyed it overall but bounced between other reads kinda as a mind reset lol- lots of characters with various powers/ skills.

Enjoyed this story. This is epic dark fantasy with terrific characters, lots of action, and heavy world building! A lot of different power dynamics, angels, demons, magic, and so much more! I struggled with the heavy world building at time, but overall enjoyed.
