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
