Jeremy Rayne, author

Action-adventure fantasy with queer heroes and plenty of romance and steam. My stories are set in the shared world Edoram Surel. Once ruled by elves, it is now a complex, diverse place, home to multiple cultures and peoples and species.

The Throneless King Trilogy

The Creators build him to serve a purpose. Then the world moved on.

The Throneless King Trilogy includes How to Save an Ancient Hero, How to Soothe a Fallen Hero, and How to Forge a Modern Hero. It's a great point of entry to Edoram Surel, giving the reader a glimpse at the shape and history of the world where all my stories take place.
