K.G. Broas is the author of The Seers Trilogy, a genre-defying descent into power, perception, and the thin line between dreaming and madness. His work blurs the boundaries between fantasy and psychological horror, inviting readers to question what’s real—and what they’ve been trained to believe.
He writes stories where the sky feels too close, the mirrors don’t always reflect, and the voices whisper just out of reach. When he isn’t unspooling the threads of memory and myth, he’s probably rewatching The OA, annotating a dream journal, or mapping the hidden logic behind everything we call reality.
The Seers Trilogy is available now in print and digital formats. But be warned: once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Secrets and Powers
Broas pens a thrilling story in The Seers: Secrets of the Phantom Beast. I haven't read anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed this story. The target audience is YA, but anyone who likes a grand story with a battle of good v. evil, and the secrets behind each side, will enjoy this one as well. The characters were well-developed and interesting. The secrets they share and the powers they are about to figure out, take the reader on a journey, along with them. This author brings the story to life. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible. A very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. This story was intriguing and kept the reader guessing. This story shows that the YA genre is not just for YA, as I am definitely not within the YA target audience. A great read. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. I look forward to reading more by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.

The book was well written. I had a difficult time following the plot. A lot of it was lost in me.

An incredible roller coaster of fantasy adventure beyond our known reality, with plot hooks that had me locked in from start to finish, and a power of description that flabbergasted my imagination. Dream worlds glimmering with silvery dust, sprawling out farther than the Sahara, to infinity! And climbing cliffs that would make Mt. Everest look like an anthill. The unexpected at every turn. Wow!
I found this gem on while browsing Twitter for my next read, looking particularly for something that would pique my particular interest, and I wasn’t disappointed. I love “dreaming” sci-fi, speculative fiction and mind-boggling ideas that are well-articulated. And I wasn’t disappointed. I discovered quickly the author possessed a wildly potent imagination in this regard, capable of thinking waaaaaay, waaaaaay outside the box, beyond the realm of all possibility while giving his characters depth and purpose—and superpowers! YES!
Such original and fascinating implementations of energies we all could possess, perhaps. Energy affected negatively by our ego, and the quotidian, humdrum human life we find ourselves a prisoner to. Real life—and then this, everything else. The true power (and I know there’s more to come in the series!). What a mind-blowing perspective of the universe, universes, and beyond. It’ll blow your mind! Creative thinking and clever inventiveness sent this story soaring to my favorites list. Note, however, this is a young-adult fantasy, and while I personally prefer hardcore, punch-to-the-gut sci-fi with plenty of cursing and all of that other adult good stuff, I found that Kevin Broas’ novel more than covers all bases to make up the difference, for me that is, and as far as my particular preference rolls.
The seers had me from start to finish. The writing style was fresh and catchy. Overall, I loved the plot, but what really grabbed me was the author’s ability to generate splendid, vivid and colorful worlds. Multiple unknowns (a plethora of curious plot hooks—that can be exploited later in the series! Woohoo!), trapped within the two-dimensional world of water’s surface, down the river and out to sea, then lost in the arctic, freezing with no way out, on an iceberg and frostbite is setting in, death creeping up, up, imminent…
And into dreamlands with strange Emma, who has a unique talent in comparison to the two other, so far, uncovered variations of these kids’ “special powers,” the almost magical talents this handful of high-school kids have discovered within themselves…
And into… Everywhere!
Overall, what a rush! Excellent story. I give The Seers: Secrets of the Phantom Beast, by Kevin Broas, 4.5 stars for masterful storytelling, incredibly worded worlds alongside ingenious powers of description. The author didn’t only put me right in there, but immersed me in a world of otherworldly colors and destinations, introduced me to conflicts and sinister beings I’ve yet to even fathom. I only deducted half star for the author’s use of commas, or lack thereof. I found myself distracted multiple times during this read, as I read a lot and notice everything. My mind fills in the blanks but my conscious does notice, unfortunately. I almost never point out grammar, and hate being pedantic in doing so with my book reviews, yet since the author had asked for advice at the end of the story, and upon seeing the solid potential of this author for future works, I decided I mustn’t only contribute with praise, but add my two-cents worth of critique. I hope it’s helpful. Greatness can only get better! And I must say, I’m highly anticipating the next book and more fantastic works from author Kevin Broas. Well done! The Seers was fantastic!
