The Finder's Trilogy is both gritty "low fantasy" and "high fantasy" in its settings. It starts in a dark yew forest on the outskirts of an isolated hamlet at the center of Tio'rain, governed by reclusive Lord Roderick Edlin DeBow, and expands to Glorin's Gate, a mountainous kingdom of dwarves known as the Kin, nestled in the bowels of the Craggs. I'm proud of each and every piece in my world building, and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Books one and two are complete, and book three is in process, but more than 50% done.
