Mapping the Magic: A Guide to Fantasy’s Many Systems

/ Fantasy, Taylen Carver

Let’s talk magic. It’s the bread and butter of fantasy, isn’t it? The thing that turns a good story into something downright enchanting. If you’re anything like me, you’ve come across all sorts of magical systems while reading, and it’s impossible not to notice how different authors put their own spin on it. Some like to map out every single rule and consequence (Sanderson, I’m looking at you), while others leave magic as a mysterious force we just have to trust (Tolkien, we’re all still guessing).

Inside Ash and Angel

/ Dystopian Fantasy, Fantasy, Taylen Carver

I’m excited to introduce Ash and Angel, the first story in The Scorched Lands Saga. Released earlier this week, it marks the start of a spin-off series that branches from the Magorian and Jones books, stepping boldly into a dystopian fantasy world I’ve wanted to explore since completing The Divine and Deadly. This post isn’t so much a release announcement as it is a look behind the curtain—a look at what inspired this story and where it all might lead.
