About the Series

Found family forged in a land of second chances.

​

A rising army of the possessed threatens the sanctity of the peaceful land of Ma-Ural and with whispers of an old enemy once thought dead returning, fear has swept over the land.

​

Ma-Ural has always been a place of sanctuary and rebirth, and host to many adventurers seeking not only their second-chance in life but a chance at immortality, as they begin their pilgrimage to the hidden eternal city of Mysrik.

​

​In the first book in the series, Into The West, join the unlikely group of companions brought together by circumstance who might be the only ones capable of combating the coming threats. Elaria, a naïve and virtuous paladin, hoping to make a name for herself; Hoots, a runaway gnome more powerful than her diminutive form would suggests; Trit, a half-elf bard looking for answers about his family; and 'Carion,' a powerful demon-kin haunted by a dark past he believes only immortality will heal. 

​

In the second book in the series, Into The Fray, the quartet now find themselves at the precipice of a battle. The alliance with the secluded dwarves has been sealed, but will it be enough to turn the tide? Will this be more than a small conflict? What they do next could be the difference between saving the universe or leading it to oblivion. They may need to trust in each other more than ever as they walk into the fray together.

About the Author

Growing up with The Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, and Final Fantasy, Dylan formed his own story to foster his love for the genre. Taking inspiration from a lifetime of fantastic adventures, Dylan creates a narrative that is bursting with personalities inspired from his own path.

​

Born and raised in Wellington, New Zealand, Dylan now resides in Calgary, Canada. Apart from looking to his next travelling quest, he spends his time pretending to be a wizard scientist, getting lost in the Rockies, or finding new ways to annoy his wife.

​

Rather than therapy, he writes, and rather than do his job in academia, he writes fiction.
