Fantasy, Slavic Lore, and More: Autumn Chaos

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, the author duo Olga and Mark, who write under the pen name, Olena Nikitin, are joining me to talk about their book, Autumn Chaos.   What’s it about?   Exiled for offending the king, Lady Inanuan must navigate intrigue and monsters while solving a mystery that could devastate the kingdom. After saving the life of Captain Marcach, forbidden magic creates an intense rivalry between warriors and awakens Ina’s ancient powers and desires. Inspired by Slavic mythology and fantasy, Autumn Chaos is an immersive romantic dark fantasy.   What's in this episode:   Olga and Mark read from Autumn Chaos and take us into the magical world of Cornovii filled with passion, cruelty and impossible choices. We then discuss the three principal characters, the lore in their fantasy world, their unique magic system, and Slavic mythology. This episode takes you into the mythical kingdom Olga and Mark created where an unwilling heroine finds her fierce heart yielding to the men she despised as she risks everything to save her kingdom. Follow Ina’s quest for redemption as she discovers forbidden magic, unleashes ancient evils, and unravels a plot that could spell Cornovii’s doom.      Get Autumn Chaos at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1Z1P47P   Where to find our guests: Website: www.olenanikitin.uk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Olena.Nikitin.author Instagram: https://instagram.com/olenanikitinauthor Twitter: @olena_nikitin Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@olenanikitinauthor Sign up for their newsletter: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/126534/76567309713409971/share About your host, Melinda Kucsera: Melinda Kucsera writes fantastic short stories, novels, and books when not being kidnapped by dragons or chased by armies of fictional creatures.
