Spellblade Stories

For ten thousand years the Nightborne have been sheltered inside Suramar, but when the Legion threatened their home, lives, and power; unrest soon washed over its denizens. Magena, a young spellblade, is charged with watching over her people. Racked with guilt, anger, and grief over her past, an outsider comes to her with an offer she will not refuse--even if she's labeled a traitor. Little does she know of the legacy, adventure, and war that is soon to come.

The Spellblade Chronicles is an Isekai fantasy novel inspired by a long role-playing game campaign, transcribed, reworked, and revisited over the course of nearly thirty years. The project began as a tribute to my fellow adventurers-some of whom are no longer with us-and is given new life thanks to the possibilities offered by illustration and digital writing. The story follows Kiral and other original characters in a world created from scratch, where rules, races, and magic are the product of the collective imagination of the time. In the first book, Kiral and his daughter Kiki awaken in a fantasy world her father knows well; it was the world in which he and his friends had set their adventures when they role-played. Kiral doesn't remember his real name; he only remembers that he was returning home on his motorcycle with his daughter. Before them stands a castle, Armadeira Castle, the setting of his company's first adventure. A strange call draws him towards the inside of the castle, Kiral feels that the answer to his questions lies there and in his old diaries where he had written down his adventures.

Orphaned at a young age, Lucida Celeste strives to finish her studies in the prestigious Arcanum Academy where the elite spellcasters, Magi and Spellblades, are trained as early as the age of twelve to combat Nightmares―the scourge of mankind, monsters born from the darkness of the world. She hopes that one day; she would be strong enough to take her revenge against the Nightmare that slaughtered her family. But there are a couple of snags in her plan: one, she's been failing her classes; two, she still doesn't have―or rather, fails to acquire―a contracted familiar which is a primary requirement for any Magus. Still, she works hard to become a full-fledged Magus despite the odds stacked against her, but she's rapidly losing faith. All that changes when she meets the academy's wild card: Siegfried von Durand.
