Meet the Authors
Lyra Kade
RomantasyLyra Kade writes romantasy and speculative fantasy where love, power, and identity collide.
Her stories focus on emotionally complex characters navigating fractured worlds, impossible choices, and relationships shaped by longing, trauma, and transformation. Known for slow-burn romance, lyrical prose, and morally layered dynamics, Lyra explores themes of fate, sacrifice, memory, and self-determination—often asking what it truly costs to love and to choose oneself.
Blending gothic atmosphere with intimate character arcs, Lyra Kade’s work is written for readers who crave emotional depth, intensity, and romance that is earned rather than promised.
When not writing, Lyra can usually be found traveling, chasing her next cup of coffee, or being supervised by her two Shiba Inus—who firmly believe they are in charge.
She is a founding member of Ash & Aether Publishing, an independent, creator-led fantasy imprint focused on morally complex storytelling.
Tristan H. Brown
Epic FantasyTristan H. Brown writes grimdark and epic fantasy where power is never free and survival always carries a cost.
His stories center on morally gray and villainous protagonists—men shaped by violence, ambition, and impossible decisions—set within brutal worlds that do not reward mercy. His fiction interrogates authority, corruption, loyalty, and domination, rejecting traditional heroism in favor of consequence and realism.
He is the author of Tower of Damnation, a dark fantasy novel exploring hierarchy, control, and moral decay within a merciless system. His work is raw, strategic, and relentless—written for readers who prefer darkness without apology.
