Known for his terrible dragon jokes on social media, Brian Rathbone brought some of that same brand of humor to an otherwise serious fantasy adventure with magic, gods & goddesses, and intrigue. Rathbone's experience as a professional horse trainer also comes into play as he explores relationships with creatures with whom you can't fully communicate and whose desires only sometimes align with their companions. A love of reading the best epic fantasy books as a young man inspired Brian to write the kinds of for boys and for girls that he liked reading in his young adult years. Getting older never dampened Rathbone's enthusiasm for a good epic fantasy adventure, and his books are widely enjoyed by readers young, old, and those somewhere in between.

In the two other prequels to The World of Godsland Epic Fantasy Series, Brian Rathbone teamed up with writers Jack McCarthy and Morgen Rich to flesh out story lines that were not fully told in the main series. The collaboration between these writers resulted in three new entry points into Godsland ranging from dark fantasy to fantasy romance and contemporary steampunk adventure with dragons and other monsters.
Ascension focuses on the story of Gwendolin and her journey from simple farm girl to the leader of a powerful order of monks and druids. Along her metaphysical journey, she learns a great deal about her world and herself--some magic must come from within.

Onin explores the history of Onin of the Old Guard and and his dragon, Jehregard. In a world where dragons are bred for size, Onin finds himself standing in opposition to thousands of years of dogma and tradition, as he fights for the life of a dragon no one else would save. There is something different about this dragon--something special. Bearing a "watch eye", like that of a prized horse, Jehregard does everything he can to prove Onin both right and wrong.

Dragon Airways explores a time when magic is a thing of the distant past and technology has come to dominance in its place. In a steampunk, dieselpunk, dragonpunk twist, Dragon Airways shows what happens when a group of misfits put their mind to something. The feral dragons and those who seek to dominate them, have other plans. Airplanes, airships, and battle balloons are no match for dragons and magic, and Emmet knows just how to solve the mystery of where to find them.

These books are suitable for fans of epic fantasy, young adult epic fantasy, steampunk, and paranormal adventures. While the content appeals to older readers, its kept clean to make it accessible to younger readers as well.

In a single, fateful afternoon, James Dreadful’s mundane life in Murray, Colorado, is upended. After his grandfather’s dramatic escape from a mental institution, James discovers he’s the heir to the infamous Dark Lord, Jack Dreadful. This revelation propels him into Nobrocoso–a realm where fairy tales are grim and heroes carry the weight of their flaws.

Marked as enemy number one, James navigates a world where the Wozigod wizards’ iron-fist rule, and Phantom–a cult of invisible assassins–vie for his father’s dark legacy. Amidst this turmoil, James finds solace in the unlikeliest of friendships: a brash half-genie, a wise gnome prone to lectures, and a flying carpet with a lethal streak, owned by a king with a taste for terror.

“James Dreadful and the Spell-Guardian” delivers a coming-of-age adventure that flips tropes into a whirlwind of humor and horror. Goblins who smell like feet sell hexed wares, ogre mercenaries adorn their beards with goblin heads, and crystal balls throb with arcane memories. In Nobrocoso, the line between good and evil is as distorted as a watercolor in the rain.

Confronted with his dark lineage, James stands at a pivotal juncture. Will he yield to the shadows cast by his father’s magic, or will he carve out his own heroic identity?
