The Lord of the Night is coming. The future of civilization is at stake.

Miro, high lord of Altura, is in the Imperial capital to prepare the Empire for the onslaught. He knows his homeland lies directly in the enemy's path but struggles to form the alliances he needs.

As the high lords bicker, Ella seeks the help of the newly crowned emperor, Killian. But, amid the growing tensions, their responsibilities drive them apart and, as emperor, Killian can't be seen to favor Ella's homeland.

Against a backdrop of old hurts, guilty secrets, and shaky new allegiances, people of all nations and abilities must learn to trust one another again, and form a united front against a powerful enemy intent on destroying them once and for all.

James Maxwell

James Maxwell’s journey as a storyteller began in the quiet, picturesque Bay of Islands in New Zealand, where the rugged landscapes first ignited his imagination. Raised in Brisbane, Australia, his early years were shaped by vast coastlines and the ever-present whisper of untold stories in the wind. His fascination with history, myth, and the spaces where they intersect eventually led him to explore over forty countries, collecting tales and experiences that would eventually manifest in his writing.

Maxwell’s career as a novelist began with The Evermen Saga, a series that blends intricate world-building with magical politics and human struggles. It was during a trip to Thailand that inspiration struck, and the first novel in the saga, Enchantress, took shape. His ability to weave magic, lore, and compelling character arcs resonated deeply with readers, launching him into the realm of fantasy writers whose works captivate and challenge readers in equal measure.

A lover of classic fantasy influences like Jack Vance, David Gemmell, and Frank Herbert, Maxwell’s writing has a timeless quality—both modern and nostalgic. His novels explore not just grand adventures, but the moral dilemmas of power, loyalty, and sacrifice. His stories often push readers to reflect on the darker aspects of ambition and the complexities of leadership. Yet, despite the high stakes and epic battles, his focus remains on the emotional core of his characters, grounding his fantastical worlds in relatable human struggles.

Maxwell’s works have earned him a loyal following across the globe, with millions of copies sold and translations in multiple languages. His series, such as The Evermen Saga and The Shifting Tides, have cemented his place as a staple in epic fantasy. Now based on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, Maxwell continues to create immersive, imaginative worlds—his latest offering, The Gateway Saga, launched in 2025 with Blood and Empire, further cements his reputation for blending thought-provoking themes with high adventure.

For readers seeking more than just escape, Maxwell’s stories are an invitation to explore worlds that feel as real as the one we inhabit, where every decision has weight, and every character is shaped by their choices. His works are not just journeys to new lands—they are invitations to reflect on our own.
