Rhys van Dael
Epic Fantasy & Speculative Fiction
The architect of the AnunA universe: a slowly remembering desert of buried cities, where every letter written into the world leaves a mark that will not fade.
About Rhys
Rhys van Dael writes the AnunA universe: epic fantasy and speculative fiction built one world at a time. At its center sits the Fivefold Hand Saga, five cities holding the oldest quarrel in the world above a field that has begun to learn what it once only recorded.
The Whisper Guild carries the saga's espionage line into the shadows beneath the plain, and a set of standalones, including The Sand Watcher and Khelar's War, extends AnunA's edges. Van Dael founded Black Dunes Press to write, edit, and design each title under one roof, from first draft to final file.
