A MESSAGE FROM LUCAS
The Shadow Realm series was meant to challenge the status quo of the Fantasy genre. I wanted to both look back to the violent adventures of vintage Pulp Fantasy while embracing the grimdark themes of more modern offerings.
With this series, the ultimate goal is to entertain you.
A NOTE ON THE READING ORDER
While Nysta is definitely the central character of the series, she shares a world with many others. As the central story unfolds, it will be necessary to tell new and exciting stories for each major character. For this reason, I've repackaged the books not in their individual series order, but in the order they are meant to be read. The series has been retitled The Shadow Realm.
Why didn't I do this the first time? Why did I name each series after their characters?
Why?
Punk rock. That's why.
HOW TO SUPPORT INDIE AUTHORS
As you can see, I'm an Indie Author - Scourge of the Trad-Pubbed Wastelands. As a hack, I don't benefit from Advances or enjoy the support of a Publisher. Instead, I rely on you - my reader!
One way you can support me is by sending a few extra credits via PayPal. It's a great way to show you appreciate the hard work of a struggling writer. Buy me a Coke and I'll love you forever.
The best way, however, is to help spread the word. Review my work on Amazon, Reddit, and Goodreads. Chat about it wherever you hang out with fantasy-loving friends.
Whichever way you choose to help, I'm more grateful than you'll ever know.
Lots of Green,
Lucas
