What is the Aethyrguard?
The Aethyrguard is an adult epic progressive fantasy series about soulbonded beasts, broken systems, and chosen family. If you love lyrical prose, deep emotional arcs, and magic that breathes with consequence—this is for you.
It’s inspired by authors like Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, Naomi Novik, and Jim Butcher. But it’s also deeply personal. This is a story about healing, loyalty, and the fire we carry forward.
