Books by Brynn E. Faye
Welcome to the fantasical worlds of Brynn E. Faye, my penname.
The Seeker's Key
The Seeker's Key is set in a Fantasy world loosely inspired by Eastern Europe and the Euroasian Steppe.
Lucan Ksaera is a prince in exile. Determined to regain his homeland, he must content with family and foe alike to keep himself - and his younger siblings - alive on the harsh road to safety.
He is joined by the stoic Lysanna Kreghen, the engimatic "Veslan" (who's name simply means northerner), and the ambitious Ardan Kejr.
The Magic System
In the world of the Seeker's Key magic is sourced from powerful objects, each granting a different ability.
Across the world, these objects are known by different names. For my protagonist, Lucan, they are known as "Keys" - as they allow you to open a door into the world beyond.
Lucan's home country has a long tradition in metalworking, so the Keys are typically decorated with elaborate and finely crafted metalwork, as you can see in the example! Lucan's people typically wear their Keys as ornaments on their ear, hairstyles and headwear are often crafted to show off their Keys.
Making the Map
As part of my creative process, I draw and paint maps for my fantasy worlds. There's the process video for the most recent version of my map of Asteria, Lucan's homeland.
