About the Author

Sonar Christie is the author of The Realmly Chronicles of Whiston, a series of epic fantasy adventures where reluctant heroes, ill-advised quests, and misfiring magic collide with predictable unpredictability. These are the sort of tales that begin with a prophecy, flirt briefly with fame, fortune, and glory, before spending the remainder of their time in self-discovery, muddling through mighty quests and epic magical battles until the end—where, frankly, anything might happen.

Readers who enjoy the wit of Discworld, the absurdity of Douglas Adams, the mythic sweep of Tolkien, the silliness of Monty Python, and the chaotic camaraderie of Dungeons & Dragons will feel at home here. The Realmly world is rich in humour, heart, friendship, and peril—often all at once. If you like your epic quests served with optimism, a dash of darkness, and the occasional thing that goes bump in the night, this is approximately 42 per cent for you.

The chronicles begin with Whiston, a humble turnip farmer who acquires—largely by accident—a motley band of companions. Together they stumble, bumble, and occasionally triumph through a realm where fortune seemingly favours the foolish. Along the way, they pursue glory, goblets of chicken wine, a decent bath to rid themselves of adventurer’s scent, and survive a steady supply of loud, improbable, and occasionally deadly heroics.

Sonar blends classic sword-and-sorcery tropes with wry, ironic humour to craft stories that are as heart-warming as they are riotously funny. When he is not writing about magical epic disasters, higher dimensions, or heroes making things worse, he enjoys cycling and walking across the Lake District, reading widely, exploring technology and popular culture, and—significantly—pondering what the Realmly characters are about to get up to next.

Embrace the absurd.

Join the adventure.

And see what happens when epic fantasy meets a sense of humour that refuses to behave.
