In these pages, you’ll find feisty stable girls and jaded bounty hunters, nostalgic portals and fractured dimensions, twisted folklore and reworked fairy tales, chosen ones and not-so-chosen ones.
Our authors this issue have really dived into all the crevices of the foundations of fantasy and forged wonderful new ideas from them, so we hope you enjoy this exciting quest through the talents of our indie fantasy community.
On top of all that, we also have an interview with fantastic indie author Demetria Paxton.
So let’s get questing. There’s plenty here to sink your teeth into.

About our featured author

Demetria Paxton is a romantasy author from the English Lake District, where she spent the majority of her childhood with her nose in a book. She went on to go to university studying Mandarin Chinese and very nearly ended up doing a PhD in International Relations. But in the end, her calling could never be anything but magic and fantasy.
She currently lives in the Netherlands where she reads, writes, and spends more time than she’d like on social media marketing.
