ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Darren Joy lives on the southwest coast of Ireland, where he can often be found nose-deep in a fantasy book, when he’s not writing one, or daydreaming about fantastical beasts, dark mages, and the metaphysical universe.
A husband and a cat dad, he is obsessed with all things fantastical—if
it’s got magic, he’s all over it.
Darren also lives with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a
condition that’s changed how he moves through the world, but never how he
imagines it.
A Viral Imperium, his first dark epic fantasy novel, was born in a shadowy and dingy corner of his consciousness, but there are far darker corners yet to explore.
