I write dark, epic fantasy about demon-hunting twins in feudal Japan. AFA finalist. Fueled by nachos. Allergic to run-on sentences. Not allergic to whiskey.
I'm so thrilled to finally get ShadowVein out there!
If you like dark fantasy with flawed characters, sinister mythology, and brutal, bloody action, then this is right up your alley.
See bio for linktree.
Cover redesign for a Japanese-inspired fantasy by @CalPLogan Twins fight demons and the cult which led to their resurgence... while also navigating politics and a terrifying prophecy. Now in sushi restaurant colors!

In terms of comps, think Berserk (or gritty anime in general), the First Law series, We Are The Dead, Sword of Kaigen, or something like The Witcher in Shogun's world.

Demons, prophecies and magic all come to a head in this masterful, high-octane dark fantasy debut. With the rich world-building and pulse-pounding action, to the intricacies of relationships and self, this was unputdownable. GO READ IT!
20 years of The First Law.
The greatest grimdark series of all time.
To celebrate 20 years, I wrote an article about @LordGrimdark and what makes his work so masterful, including quotes from Adrian Collins & @PetrikReads
