Legends of
Tiros
Twelve years of worldbuilding. Three kingdoms bound by an uneasy peace. A war fought in shadow, centuries deep. And one blacksmith who doesn't yet know what he carries.

By day, a senior developer at a web agency in Edinburgh. By night, and during lunch breaks and stolen weekends, Christopher writes fantasy. For twelve years he's been mapping kingdoms, chronicling a dragon war, and building the world of Tiros in private, waiting until it was ready to be told.
