Book Publishing

Fiction we believe in, published properly — and produced with software we build ourselves.

Fiction and Storytelling

We publish fiction — fantasy, science fiction, adventure and neighbouring genres — and we help with the parts that stop most good books: editing, the mechanics of actually publishing, and getting the finished thing in front of readers.

We do not publish everything that arrives, and we would be doing you no favours if we did. We read what comes in and we say no to most of it, which is what makes a yes mean something. If you think your work fits, tell us about it.

We also produce our books with StoriesDen, the writing software built by our parent company — manuscript through formatting, blurbs, covers and publishing. Being our own first customer keeps both honest.

A fantasy series by Will Groberg. Both books are available on Kindle and included with Kindle Unlimited.

Cover of Dawn of the Second Darkness

Book One — Dawn of the Second Darkness

Anciently, a grand archwizard and necromancer became the Overlord when he created the Great Darkness, a storm that continued to expand until it covered the world, enthralling anyone without special immunity. The nine other grand archwizards from across the world banded together in a group they called the Halidar. Despite losing six of their number, they defeated the Overlord and ended the Great Darkness.

Now, 800 years later, powerful forces are at work and a second darkness has burst upon the world. One of the three remaining Halidar has become a new Overlord, one dies from immortal poison, and the third must gather a ragtag band of misfits from across three continents to fulfill an ancient prophecy.

Book Two — Light in the Second Darkness

The Second Darkness continues to sweep across the world, enslaving minds wherever it spreads. The last Halidar, the grand archmage Rhondalyn, is out of time and out of allies, and must compress years of training into a handful of frantic days before sending a ragtag band of misfits on a mission none of them are ready to face.

Their journey crosses hostile continents toward the heart of the storm, and every step forces a choice between survival and compassion. As the shadows deepen, so do the doubts — the Darkness twists minds, and trust becomes a scarce and precious resource.
