About the author

Brandon Chen is a young author, born in May 1997, who began writing his first book, Age of Darkness, at the age of fourteen. As an avid fan of manga at a young age, Brandon took inspiration from various of his favorite works. After several years of editing the novel, Age of Darkness was published when Brandon was seventeen.

Brandon loves fantasy and adventure novels, particularly of darker nature and finds influence from books that he's read and movies that he has seen to incorporate new ideas into his own writing. Brandon published Age of Darkness with the hopes that he would be able to share his own mind and imagination with those around him.

He has published two books in the Age of Darkness series and a new series, which takes place in the same world, called God of War Ares. He has also begun writing for comics with best-selling titles like "Hanzo" and "Taeiyos." His most recent work, Ghost Wolf, is a standalone prequel to the Age of Darkness series.

Brandon is currently an Economics & Computer Science student at New York University.
