Depths

A series collecting more stories and tales from the Runedain World.

The first three books to this series are a prequel set two whole eras before the time of the characters we meet in Heirs and two anthologies of short stories taking place during the events of the Heirs saga that we didn't get to see.

Prequel:

Elementals

Anthologies:

Impulse

Dark Fire

World of Runedain

Realistic, character-driven adult saga of novels set in a fantasy world of precise lore with major themes of:

- found family,

- healing trauma together (such as the main set of lovers' and their struggle with much wanted but difficult intimacy),

- romance,

- love in all its forms, while sporting possibly all the relationship tropes imaginable and in all settings,

from romantic, such as:

- friends to lovers,

- enemies to lovers,

- three arranged marriages with very different outcomes,

- villain and good main character's dysfunctional romance,

- love triangle with Thrain, Rayne and Dain which kind of becomes a square when Yyn joins the fray,

- mutual love of two boys who pledged themselves to one another individually but kept it from the other for a century,

and while the list goes on, it also extends to:

- friendships and rivalries,

- family bonds (brothers, siblings and cousins, raising children as a found family),

- enmities between people but also on large scale such as across races,

all woven within an adventure of high fantasy, war and the fights, struggles and challenges that the cast face as they give it all both to protect each other and do all in their power so as to reach a peaceful, safe life.

The focus are always the characters, who are the very life of these stories and what makes them come alive alongside the goodness that they don't believe themselves capable of anymore nor worthy to be on the receiveing end of it, and while the traumas of their past are present, they never take over and this found family shows how they will get through it all.

While they might have to save the world in the process though the scope and scale of it all very much doesn't prevent a good deal of sarcasm and banter to be there, nor does it preclude the happiness, fun, peace, love and joy that they find with one another.

"Runedain" is the world itself of these series of novels I wrote as an author who has been rendered physically crippled and neurodivergent thirty-one year old survivor, still barely making it through an entire life of ongoing abuse, cruelties and their consequences, all carried out as my family keep perpetrating it all and keeps me secluded indoors, away from any human contact and shaming me worse than ever dare I reach out online while they keep me trapped and ensure my suffering at their hands multiple times each day.

My very last hope were these books.
