Some scars

THE AUTHOR

Eric Wood

Eric Wood

Eric Wood is the author of The Moon Elf's Shadow and creator of The Shadow Realms Saga — a dark fantasy series where assassins, ancient magic, dangerous loyalties, and deeply human characters collide.

Dark Fantasy Author

Wood writes fantasy for readers who want more than heroes destined to save the world. His characters are scarred, complicated, and forced to make choices where the difference between right and wrong is rarely clear. At the center of his stories are the things that remain painfully human even in worlds filled with magic: love, loss, loyalty, revenge, sacrifice, and the struggle to decide who you are when the world has already decided for you.

The Moon Elf's Shadow introduces readers to Lunarith, a land of ancient secrets and growing darkness, and to Kael, a man trained to become a weapon who must confront the forces that shaped him. His journey opens the door to a much larger world, with interconnected characters, hidden histories, rival powers, and consequences that reach far beyond a single story.

For Wood, worldbuilding matters, but character comes first. Every battle should cost something. Every betrayal should matter. Every death should leave a mark. And even the darkest character should have a reason for becoming who they are.

That philosophy is the foundation of The Shadow Realms Saga.

Eric Wood continues to expand the world of Lunarith through new novels and stories, with each book revealing another piece of the Shadow Realms and the people fighting to survive within them.

Enter the Shadow Realms. The story has only begun.
