Born in England to South American parents, Evan Winter was raised in Africa near the historical territory of his Xhosa ancestors. Evan has always loved fantasy novels, but when his son was born, he realized that there weren't many epic fantasy novels featuring characters who looked like him. So, before he ran out of time, he started writing them.

makes clear the true cost of war and colonialism with one of the
most enthralling hero's journeys I've read."--S. A. Chakraborty,
author of City of Brass

unlike anything I've seen before. What a terrific set up for a
series!"--David Anthony Durham, author of The Acacia Trilogy
