After a year of writing and deep editing (all 100% human labor, by the way), I introduce to you my darling: Storms of the Ancients. Thank you for your amazing support that has allowed me to be a full-time author for over ten years now. The blurb:

A perilous ocean voyage.
A tempest older than empires.

Ten thousand slaves toil on a demon ship sailing into uncharted waters. One such wretch, unable to use her sorcery, is Bridget Burns. Mired in cutthroat survival, she fosters two allies: a terrified boy, and a gargoyle “cursed” with empathy.

Warlocks Augum and Leera, challenged by scheming crew, sail in pursuit. Their ship barrels toward a mythic storm no ship has ever breached. A storm hiding an ancient secret.

While Bridget must use her wits to keep herself and the boy alive, Augum and Leera must rally the crew to brave the maelstrom. All hope to discover what none have ever seen . . .

What lies beyond the storm.

A high-seas fantasy adventure set in the world of the epic bestselling sagas The Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon and Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone.

You can snag the paperback / ebook here.

Audiobook coming in 2026.

Introducing Storms of the Ancients

A perilous ocean voyage.
A tempest older than empires.

Ten thousand slaves toil on a demon ship. One such wretch, unable to use her sorcery—let alone turn into a dragon—is Bridget Burns. Mired in cutthroat survival, she fosters two allies: a terrified boy and a gargoyle with a most undemonic trait—empathy.

Warlocks Augum and Leera, each embroiled in crew conflict, sail in pursuit. They barrel toward an impenetrable storm infested with leviathans. A storm hiding an ancient secret.

While Bridget must use her wits to keep herself and the boy alive, Augum and Leera must rally the crew before braving the maelstrom, all in the hopes of discovering what none have ever seen . . .

What awaits on the other side.

A high-seas fantasy adventure set in the world of the epic bestselling sagas The Arinthian Line,Fury of a Rising Dragon, and Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone.

PREORDER HERE

I am thrilled to reveal the title, cover, and blurb for Augum, Bridget and Leera’s next book, coming December 5th 2025! Preorder will be in the comments below (link to preorder in my profile). I’ve always wanted to write an epic ocean voyage, so to be able to do it with Augum, Bridget and Leera is extra special. And oh boy did I have a blast writing this one. There’s a lot that happens in the book, and aside from a high-seas adventure, you will get to experience an opening up of the trio’s world in an epic new way. I dare not spoil what’s coming with another word, so in the meantime, if you haven’t already, I suggest you read Whispers of Wrath in readiness for Storms of the Ancients!

All my best to you and those you love,

—Sever

Something is coming. Something that sees everyone as prey. Officially announcing audiobook launch of Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1)

I am thrilled to officially announce the release of the audiobook version of the trio’s latest epic adventure, Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1), which you can find on Audible.

It’s narrated by Emily Waters who did an AMAZING job, especially with the spell and language pronunciation which is as close to my original intent as I’ve heard. Link comments.

Blurb:

Augum is one of three champion warlocks. Alongside his betrothed Leera and their sister-in-war Bridget, the trio protect their kingdom by wielding an ancient power. A power that devours their empathy.

A power that turns them into dragons.

As the trio struggle to hold onto their humanity, strange events unfold. Lightning strikes that silence nearby warlocks. Fog that nullifies arcane artifacts. Moss infestations that siphon sorcery.

Recognizing that these events could destroy their newfound ability, the trio set out to investigate. Their quest for answers will take them to the far north, the deep sea, and the bowels of an abandoned castle.

But what they uncover will plunge all the kingdoms into peril.

For something is coming.

Something that sees everyone as prey . . .

Enjoy the adventure, and please consider leaving a review on Audible when you’re done listening 🙂

Augum, Bridget and Leera news:

Three big pieces of news to share:

NEWS ITEM #1: I’m excited to announce the narrator for the imminently forthcoming audiobook Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1), featuring our illustrious trio Augum, Bridget and Leera. The audiobook is expected to launch any day now (just waiting for final approval from the review process).

And without further ado, that narrator is . . . *drum roll* . . .  Emily Waters!

Emily is an actor and voice-over artist based out of London, England. Emily’s theatre work includes the Olivier award-winning show The Play That Goes Wrong, as well as Bleak Expectations, and Spy Movie: The Play. Previous narrative credits include The Actress series, by Kimberly J.M. Wilson, and Hunt the Night, by Jason Wright and Alan Gamboa. Emily also works as a motion-capture artist, and has recently wrapped on a major video game to be released in 2026. She is delighted to have worked on Whispers of Wrath, and has enjoyed every moment of bringing this book to listeners, and looks forward to capturing the essence of the whole series.

👂 Here’s a Google Drive link to an audio mp3 sample of the first chapter of Whispers of Wrath so that you can hear Emily at work! The audiobook will launch on Audible any day now, so keep your eyes peeled 👀.

NEWS ITEM #2: I recently finished the first draft of book two in the Arcane Legacy saga, and the book has now entered the editing stages! You guys are seriously going to love this book as the trio go on an epic sea adventure (it’s a book I’ve always wanted to write too)!

NEWS ITEM #3: You remember that contest I ran a few months back, the question being, “Who is your favorite character in any of my books and why?” Well here’s a picture of the winners (chosen at random) and their prize (Jay and Wesley, shared with permission):

Stay tuned as there’s loads more to come. All my best to you and those you love,

Personal thoughts below:

After a year of work, I proudly present Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1). I was challenged writing this book as I took on three points of view: Augum’s, Bridget’s, and Leera’s. Three twenty-year-olds with an incredible power at their finger tips—and incredible inner turmoil as a result of wielding that power.

This is the start of a new saga and a new skillset for me, one gleaned from writing from Augum’s POV, then Anna Atticus Stone’s POV, and now Bridget’s and Leera’s POV’s. I hope you have as much fun reading the book as I had writing it.

Thank you kindly for the support, and I hope you’ll consider leaving a review on Amazon when you finish, and even posting about Whispers of Wrath on social media. Thank you again :)

After a solid year of work and keeping the cards close to my chest, I’m beyond excited to finally reveal the title, cover, and blurb of a brand new series coming December 6th (pre-order link below). It’s a saga about a certain trio of twenty-year-olds freshly graduated from an arcane academy of warlocks. A saga that could be read without having read prior works of mine.

Without further ado, I present . . .


Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1)

Augum Stone is one of three champion warlocks. Alongside his betrothed Leera Jones and their sister-in-war Bridget Burns, the trio protect their kingdom by wielding an ancient power. A power that devours their empathy.

A power that turns them into dragons.

As the trio battles callousness, strange events unfold. Lightning strikes that silence nearby warlocks. Fog that nullifies arcane artifacts. Moss infestations that siphon sorcery.

Recognizing that these events could destroy the power of the dragon, the trio set out to investigate. Their quest for answers will take them to the deep north, the deep sea, and the depths of an abandoned castle.

But what they uncover will plunge all the kingdoms into peril.

For something is coming.

Something that sees everyone as prey.

Coming December 6th, 2024. Pre-order now:

USA | UK | CANADA | AUSTRALIA | GERMANY | FRANCE | SPAIN | ITALY | NETHERLANDS | JAPAN | MEXICO | INDIA

The book will be available in ebook, paperback (paperback launches day of release), audiobook (launches early 2025), and on Kindle Unlimited.

Preorder now live: Flames of Stone (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Sotne, book 3)

The audiobook for Flames of Stone (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, book 3) is now available for preorder!

Some select reader reviews to entice the soul:

“For fans of the Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon, the third installment of Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone delivers on questions that have spanned across multiple series.”

“… the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone doesn’t feel like a prequel and can stand alone as someone’s first introduction to Sever Bronny’s work.”

“Wonderful continuation of the series that sets up Arcane while still leaving enough untold to allow Mrs. Stone to feel mysterious and private when introduced despite knowing so much of her life from this book. Finished reading it in three days because I couldn’t put it down”

“These books like the others are so incredibly well thought out to even the tiny details that pop up books later. I would really recommend any of the books by this author although I’d rather say read them all. Probably one of the most profound worlds I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading again and again.”

“A powerful conclusion to a series that reignites my love of learning”

“Strap in for an emotional ride”

“All i can say is that i am grateful to have read this masterpiece”

The launch is April 30th! You can snag Flames of Stone here.

Two big pieces of news to share

Two big pieces of news to share, including something amazing a fan has done.

News item #1: The trio’s long-awaited return—with a twist.

The Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon have earned some serious fans. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that I am writing a whole new saga of Augum, Bridget and Leera’s adventures—except I’m doing it from each of their points of view!

That’s right, you’re going to read what it’s like to be a water warlock through Leera’s eyes, and an earth warlock through Bridget’s. Above all, you’re going to experience three people struggling with the power to summon the dragon.

The first of the series will launch in December. I’m applying everything I learned writing and finishing Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone—and let me tell you, I am having a total blast writing it.

News item #2: A fan’s dedication

This is just awesome. A fan from Seattle named David has tattooed a certain motto from the Fury of a Rising Dragon series on his forearm. Isn’t that just amazing?

Here’s a quiz: do you recognize the motto, and what it means? Post your answer in the comments 😉

All the best,

Flames of Stone PREORDER now live!

Some curses cannot be broken. They must be faced.
 
As a teacher, a wife, and a mother, Anna Atticus Stone craves peace. But being a warlock champion means protecting the kingdom. It also means watching over her unruly daughter, Thia, who’s fallen for a boy.
 
A boy who happens to dabble in—of all things—necromancy.

When that boy—and a deadly figure from Anna’s past—involve Thia in an illegal warlock tournament, Anna must consider dusting off her dueling skills. But not all is as it seems, and when Anna discovers Thia has been cursed, she finds herself in an epic battle for her daughter’s soul.

A battle that drags the entire family into Hell.
 
Anna faces her worst nightmares in this spell-binding and emotional finale to the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, which delves into the life of one of the most beloved characters from the bestselling series The Arinthian Line.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS FROM THE AUTHOR:
I cannot express how excited I am about Flames of Stone. The book, which clocked in around 225,000 words (about the same length as The Arcane Artist), delves into a crucial — and difficult — part of Anna’s midlife, one I was not sure I would have the courage to tackle.

But I did it. A year of solid work thus culminates in my twelfth(!) book, and the finale to this series. Although this book ends with Anna being fifty years of age, I wrote it in such a way that you can then jump right into Arcane, as everything else that happens between Anna turning fifty and Augum stepping into the picture is discussed in The Arinthian Line series.

I feel that this book—in fact the whole series about Anna—exemplifies the most impactful times of Anna’s life that led to her becoming who she is in The Arinthian Line, while still feeling fresh and new (I do not believe that you will feel like you’re reading a “prequel”).

Writing Flames of Stone was an emotional ride, one I am incredibly proud of completing. There will be some tear-jerking moments. But there will also be a lot of new revelations, namely who Augum’s grandfather was (and thus the Lord of the Legion’s father), with a big twist as to why no one except for Anna knows his identity.

And of course, you will read about loads of new spells, as well as already familiar spells that receive a lot more detail. You will delve into new world lore and pick up some hidden easter eggs that hark back to series 1 and 2. It is a robust book, and I hope a fulfilling one. It certainly was for me writing it.

Thank you for all your amazing support over the years. Much more to come, including illustrations, merchandise, and more on the trio, who I will be writing about next! You’ll hear from me again soon.

All my best to you and those you love, Sever,

—Sever
P.S. ART sendout coming soon.

Four pieces of exciting news


1. ILLUSTRATOR: I’ve hired an illustrator to start illustrating the trio/other characters for you, perhaps some scenes (if it works out, that is, and you guys enjoy his style). I asked the fan-run discord server to conduct a snap poll as to who you wanted done first, and the overwhelming consensus was . . . drum roll, please . . . Leera Jones! A great choice to start. So I’ve put together a dossier along with a smattering of quotes she said (which some of you kindly helped me collect), and will send it along to the illustrator today.

2. STORE COMING SOON: At long last, after years of questions as to when it will happen, my wife and I are putting together a small print-on-demand store. I’m hoping that these illustrations, along with others, will be put on some merchandise. Hopefully this merch will lead into some really cool and unique stuff that you guys have been asking for for years. More news on all that soon.

3. AUDIOBOOKS SALE: Two out of the four audiobooks for the Fury of a Rising Dragon series are half price for a limited time. You can snag Burden’s Edge here and Champion’s Wrath from the same site here.

4. CHRONICLES OF ANNA ATTICUS STONE, BOOK 3: Anna’s third book, which I will release the title of soon, is coming along swimmingly. Already 140,000 words in. It’s a family-oriented plot that steadily thickens, with one grand adventure in the latter third of the book. As usual when writing, my characters have taken me in a direction I did not anticipate. Anna is no exception, as she is strong and independent woman (she’s forty-nine years old in this book, just prior to taking on the headmistress job).

That’s all for now! Feel free to reply to this if you have any questions or comments :D
All my best to you and those you love, Sever,

Quick news on Anna Atticus Stone, etc

Things are progressing nicely with Anna Atticus Stone’s third book. Super exciting to write her during a critical period in her life, when she’s forty-nine years old, has just been offered the job of Headmistress of the Academy of Arcane Arts, juggles an unruly teenage daughter with little motivation and a big secret, a distant husband, and villains chasing after her scion—all while solving old mysteries that just might lead her to an ancient place. Book title announcement coming soon.

Once Anna’s third book is out, I plan on delving back into the trio: Augum, Bridget and Leera. I have grand (epic!) plans for their next escapade, and have missed writing them greatly. But in the meantime, writing Anna is a privilege, a challenge, and a true joy.

Some more book news: for those into audiobooks, Prodigy of Thunder (Anna’s first adventure) is on sale on Audible until Mar 16th.

Hope you have been well,

Sever

Anna book 2: Cover and blurb reveal + preorder

The Arcane Artist (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, book 2) epic fantasy series ya fantasy young adult coming of age magic female protagonist girl hero warlock witch wizard adventure fun like

Warlock Anna Atticus Stone is on her final year at the academy. As head of student council, academic prodigy, and champion arena dueler, she seems the perfect pupil.

In reality, Anna is grieving, overwhelmed, and so lonely she talks to herself. Above all, she fears assassination if people find out her father’s dying gift to her was a scion. Only seven of these powerful artifacts exist, one in each kingdom—a precarious balance that maintains peace.

That peace shatters when a kingdom steals a second scion and invades its weaker neighbor. Anna feels compelled to act, but that would mean facing her crippling fears, a quest into the unforgiving wilds, and risking her kingdom becoming a target of war.

Driven by the memory of her father, she must find the one thing eluding her thus far . . . courage.
