Hello from the voids of Fate! My name is Francis Ravel. I am a writer of every genre and style, and it is my personal goal to create so many tales that people begin to think I was divinely cursed to be mad or terrifyingly in control.

I have *backstory*, but if anything, it has made me absolutely set in my goal to change the world for the better. It is my sincerest wish to make art that will inspire those who have gone through similar things to persevere, and learn to love to live, so that one day I in turn will get to hear their story.

My current WIP, which will most likely be my main work for the next 20 years, is entitled Night Myths and Day Mares. Book one is available now, and Book two is well on its way to being completed.

I hope every writer, would be writer, hopeful writer, or person who wishes to one day put pen to paper will reach out. I can't wait to see the worlds you've created, and I hope you will allow me to give you a tour through my creations.

The long awaited sequel to Twisted Ash arrives August 16th, 2024.

BENEATH THE SHATTERED SKY

In a broken world, much has been lost to new histories, and much more buried beneath the foundations of rising nations. But in the tenuous peace of the present, little holds those unknowns at bay besides the threads that tie together princes and thieves; pirates and healers, liars and swordsmen. The collisions of their tales will have untold consequences and uproot the very basis of the world; who's to say what is good or evil when the truth is hidden?

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

Hello! It's me again, and I'd like to apologize for the enormous wait between Twisted Ash and Beneath the Shattered Sky. There was quite a bit of planning that I felt was necessary before delivering book 2 into your waiting hands; I have now plotted the entire series, from start to finish, and I could not be prouder or more confident in this work. Beneath the Shattered Sky is, simply put, my greatest accomplishment. This does, however, come with the caveat that for the next few books, there will be a single question in your head. "Why are these in the same series?" To which I will quote the great Neil Gaiman. Wait and See. It will be worth it, I promise. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it, and I will see you on August 16th.

May Fate be Kind.

An orphan of the streets, a thief with an eye for beautiful things. Chance is a dangerous thing, but by the Outcasts does Lugo enjoy playing the odds.

BOOK 2 PORTRAIT 1/5

Series Introduction

A multi-genre, century spanning epic about the tales we have told, are telling, and will tell about the horrors that lay beyond the shadows in the mirror, the boxes locked and dust-covered in the attic of our minds, and the threads that weave each and every soul into the web of Fate.

From the frozen shores of Norway to the shattered world of Inatheais, and an art museum's worth of painted vistas between, Night Myth and Day Mares will take you to places at the darkness drenched edges of imagination.

There are always more Doors.

There are always more Worlds.

There are always more Tales.
