EA RAYNER
E. A. Rayner spends most of their time weaving epic fantasy worlds, contemplating the darker corners of human nature, and ensuring their characters suffer appropriately. Their debut novel, First There Was War, kicks off The Stonemaiden Saga on March 1, 2025, promising grit, violence, and just enough hope to keep things from getting completely miserable.

They believe all literature needs humour, no matter how bleak, and have learned a lot about storytelling from Thomas Harris, James S. A. Corey, Fonda Lee, and Joe Abercrombie—who have yet to return the favour.
