Sword and sorcery with a side of sarcasm.

Lee Dunning survived more than twenty-six years in the trenches of IT, which turned out to be excellent training for writing about ancient curses, scheming villains, and horrors lurking in the dark. After fleeing the scorching heat of Phoenix for the misty Pacific Northwest, Lee now spends semi-retirement writing epic fantasy, or at least as much as two demanding Siamese floofs, Freya and Thor, allow.

Lee’s stories serve up tenacious heroes, cunning villains, and banter sharp enough to draw blood. It all began in 2014 with Exile’s Redemption, the first book of the Chronicles of Shadow. The four-book series has since been joined by two novellas and Scion of Shadow, a full-length sequel that plunges W’rath back into danger two years after the original saga.

When not wrangling words, Lee creates book covers and fantasy art and indulges a lifelong weakness for tabletop RPGs.
