HOW THE REALMS BEGAN

From First Ember to Three Realms

E.M. Foster grew up drawing maps of places that didn’t exist — coastlines for kingdoms, mountain ranges for wars that hadn’t happened yet. Years spent studying ancient history and wandering half-collapsed ruins across Europe gave her a habit she never broke: reading the shape of a fallen wall and imagining who built it, and why it fell.


Ember of Ashes began as a short story about a firekeeper who refused to let a kingdom’s history stay buried. It grew into the Fireheart Saga, then into the Wyrmwall Chronicles, and finally the Citadel of Stars — three realms that, she is fond of saying, were always meant to share the same sky.

“I don’t build worlds to escape this one. I build them to ask the questions history is too polite to ask — who gets remembered, who gets buried, and who finally digs them back up.”

— E.M. FOSTER

Maps before manuscripts

Every realm exists as a hand-drawn map long before a single chapter is written.

Fueled by Earl Grey

No draft has ever been finished without an alarming quantity of tea nearby.

Forty ruins and counting

Field research means real castles, real crypts, and a running tally of favorite ruins.
