Dear Epic Fantasy Readers: Is the Renegades Epic for you?
Calling all epic fantasy readers to see if my Elementals of Nordica series and other works in the Renegades Epic are good fits. So if you’re a reader who craves epic fantasy but with a sci-fi/dystopian twist with paranormal and urban elements, this post is for you.
I recently wrote a post regarding my target audience. Today’s post extends on it, where each subheading will state that if you “Love (characteristic of the Renegades Epic), the books are for you. For example, if you love epic fantasy tropes bent into a sci-fi society, Elementals of Nordica is a definite fit.
Without further ado, let’s get on with if you’re one of thousands of readers I targeted the Renegades Epic toward.
If you love genre bending…
Add a checkmark to the Pro Column, because you’re one step closer to deciding that the Renegades Epic’s ago.
In the Epic, comprising Elementals of Nordica, Terrian Chronicles, Sentrys of Terrene, Catenarian Chronicles, Cymraeg Tales, and Chronicles of Rondure, you will find epic fantasy tropes, character archetypes, complex plots, chosen ones, and others that define the genre at every turn. However, dystopian, sci-fi worlds are also front and center — hence the genre-bending.
If you’ve ever read Carissa Andrews’ Pendomus Chronicles, you’re getting similar storylines, but with deeper elemental magic and sword and sorcery concepts — but without the simple plot lines. A little less dystopia, and more of military fantasy. Kachi Ugo’s Levitator Chronicles is another good comp.
If you love complex plots…
Check another one into the box. But I will warn you: Every single plot not just in Elementals of Nordica (the first series I released), but the entire Renegades Epic will make you think. I know many epic fantasy readers love complex plots, and I’m no different regardless of the genre.
Starting with Wind Master (micro spoiler alert) the plots get crazy complex when I introduce the Five Worlds. One of which is Rondure (Chronicles of Rondure) and another of which is Terra (Terrian Chronicles), plus two more. And while Elementals of Nordica, Chronicles of Rondure, and Terrian Chronicles each have their own overarching storyline, the entire Renegades Epic has an even greater overarching storyline — think MCU but with the epic fantasy tropes and elements.
If you’re looking for more information on just how complex my plots are in each story of the Renegades Epic, each POV within the series (Tarja Titan, Braden Hawk, Liza Fury are all part of the Terrian Chronicles), then check out the following links: How Many Series are Within The Terrian Chronicles? and The Renegades Epic: Phase One Descriptions and Release Dates.
If you love crossovers…
With Elementals of Nordica Series, Chronicles of Rondure, and Terrian Chronicles all pointing to an identical overarching storyline, you’re going to get a lot of crossovers. So if a series ends and you think you’re “saying goodbye” to a few characters you love, hold that thought. Odds are, their series may have ended, but the odds are even greater they’re not the last time you’ve seen them.
This holds especially true with the Terrian Chronicles, as you discover something significant about Braden Hawk, Tarja Titan, and Liza Fury in the first book — Tarja Titan.
You’ll see even greater instances of these crossovers in Civil War.
If you love alternate history…
If you’re a history buff who loves an alternative spin on history, then you will fall head over heels for at least Terrian Chronicles — even if you’re not hot on Elementals of Nordica. You’re getting both alternate history here plus a lot of what-ifs. I know that’s becoming a thing in the fictional universe, and it was something I had planned for Terrian Chronicles since I first outlined the work in March 2021.
You won’t see as much of it in Elementals of Nordica and Chronicles of Rondure since they take place in different worlds. However, you’re getting the same themes and identical storylines.
