About

John Nairn writes progression fantasy, set in The Forge — a world where power is bargained for from gods who need believers as badly as believers need them, and where every gift is a debt somebody eventually pays.

Eleven interlocking series share that world, from the founding of a single village to the strands that run out to its edges. There is no reading order and no stat screen: the progression is earned devotion, and it costs.

He is Australian, and it shows in the prose: dry, understated, and suspicious of speeches. Each universe is self-contained; start with any of them. The newsletter is the best way to hear about new releases.
