About John R. Fultz

My name is John R. Fultz, and I’m a storyteller.

My latest book is a collection of dark fantasy tales called WORLDS BEYOND WORLDS (from DMR Books). The Shaper Trilogy includes the novels SEVEN PRINCES, SEVEN KINGS, and SEVEN SORCERERS (from Orbit/Hachette). My Tall Eagle duology includes the novels THE TESTAMENT OF TALL EAGLE and SON OF TALL EAGLE (from Crossroad Press). THE REVELATIONS OF ZANG collects 12 dark fantasy tales set in the magical World of Zang (currently out of print).

I live in the North Bay Area, California, but I’m originally from Kentucky. My short fiction has appeared in anthologies such as YEAR’S BEST WEIRD FICTION, SHATTERED SHIELDS, THE WAY OF THE WIZARD, CTHULHU’S REIGN, THE BOOK OF CTHULHU II, THAT IS NOT DEAD, and NEW TALES OF HYPERBOREA. I’ve also had stories in these fine magazines: WEIRDBOOK, BLACK GATE, WEIRD TALES, LIGHTSPEED, THE AUDIENT VOID, and SPACE & TIME. I’ve written comics for Boom Studios’ ZOMBIE TALES and CTHULHU TALES. My graphic novel of epic fantasy PRIMORDIA (illustrated by the great Roel Wielinga) was published by Archaia Comics in an ultimate hardcover edition in 2012.

$4.99

A vibrant tale of ancient sorcerers, heroic kings, and looming war, Seven Princes is the epic beginning to John R. Fultz's debut fantasy series.

Under the watchful eye of the Giants, the kingdoms of Men rose to power. Now, the Giant-King has slain the last of the Serpents and ushered in an era of untold peace and prosperity. Where a fire-blackened desert once stood, golden cities flourish in verdant fields.

But the realms of Man face a new threat -- an ancient sorcerer slaughters the rightful King of Yaskatha before the unbelieving eyes of his son, young Prince D'zan. With the Giant-King lost to a mysterious doom, it seems that no one has the power to stop the coming storm.

Now the fugitive Prince seeks allies across the realms of Men and Giants to liberate his father's stolen kingdom. Six foreign Princes are tied to his fate. Only one thing is certain: War is coming.

Ispiris, the Land Beyond the Sun: A realm of colossal forests, mysterious creatures, and chromatic skies. Twenty-two years ago Tall Eagle led his long-suffering people to salvation in this strange new world. Now the red specter of war rises again and Kai, Son of Tall Eagle, fights to preserve the fragile peace between his tribe and the barbaric Horse People known as the Sesthi. Defying both Kai and the wisdom of tribal elders, the warrior known as Red Knife seeks to revive the lost traditions of the warpath--even if it means leading his people to destruction. As these rivals confront one another to determine their tribe's destiny, the Sesthi also return to their ancient customs of sacrifice and sorcery. Athri, the Warlord's Daughter, accompanies Kai into the Herdlands to face the Sesthi Lord and his scheming sorceress queen. Something terrible lingers in the deeps of the Tall Wood, a monstrous darkness ready to be set free by blood, hate, and ancient Sesthi magic...

The epic saga of The People began in THE TESTAMENT OF TALL EAGLE. It continues now in SON OF TALL EAGLE.
