About the author

The heavens shatter. Realms divide. Gods rise, gods fall—and an epic thirty years in the making, begins. This isn’t just another creation myth… it is a reckoning.

Homer gave us the Iliad & The Odyssey...
Dante gave us The Divine Comedy...
Milton gave us Paradise Lost...
Tolkien gave us Middle-earth...
Lewis gave us Narnia...
Herbert gave us Dune...
Lucas gave us Star Wars...

J.F. Nickens gives us the whole. Where other epics offer a slice,MYTH serves the entire cosmic pie.

In a universe where Reality and Imagination are living gods—kindred beings born of divine will—one falls to corruption. The balance fractures. From the chaos rises D’Reem, a warrior forged by pain and purpose, destined to uncover a truth that could save his beloved T’Naeva… or doom them both to eternal ruin.

But T’Naeva—a goddess of grace and fury—will stop at nothing to expose the lie that shatters her soul. Her quest for vengeance may transform her into the very darkness she seeks to destroy.

Here, the gods are the characters. Mortals, merely the audience. This is no mere myth—it’s an audacious inversion of mythic tradition. The first of its kind. As gods fall, truths unravel, and cosmic forces clash, one question burns through the countless ages of eternity:
If creation was never meant to last… does sacrifice even matter?

MYTH: Reign of the Immortals begins a bold four-volume Transcendent Mythology Saga—where belief shapes reality, deception shatters gods, and the fates themselves make exceptions. Written like scripture. Felt like prophecy.
This epic is 30 years in the making.

Perfect for fans of high mythic fantasy, speculative genesis stories, celestial and spiritual warfare, and timeless tales of love and power, of redemption and transformation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

J.F. Nickens is an illustrator, graphic designer, and lifelong student of mythology who has spent over four decades immersed in the symbolic and spiritual traditions that shaped the world's greatest stories.

With a background in visual arts and creative design, Nickens brings a rare fusion of visual imagination and mythic depth to his storytelling—crafting worlds where every word breathes with purpose, and every symbol points to the divine.

His debut literary work, MYTH: Reign of the Immortals, is the culmination of 31 years of creation, dedication, and personal revelation. Written, illustrated, and designed entirely by Nickens himself, the project is more than a novel—it is a spiritual opus. A mythopoetic saga born not from academia, but from A life well lived, tireless study, and divine inspiration.

Nickens has spent his life decoding the language of myth—sacred geometry, spiritual archetypes, and translating them into art and narrative that awaken, challenge, and elevate the soul. His stories do not simply entertain; they initiate. They are forged for those who hunger for higher meaning, deeper truth, and cosmic purpose.

Blending high fantasy, spiritual allegory, and visionary fiction, his Transcendent Mythology Saga is an offering for readers who believe storytelling can be sacred—who sense that myth was never meant to fade, but to return when the world needs it most.

J.F. Nickens writes for the seekers, the warriors, and the weary. His work is a cosmic reckoning, a timeless fire wrapped in prose, and a testament to the truth that imagination is divine territory.

This is not just fantasy.

This is not just art.

This is a life’s purpose made manifest.

This… is MYTH.
