Chronicles of the Eclipsed Realms

Short Story: From Ancient Legends to Modern Chronicles

Hello, dear readers and backers! I’m Ananya Rao, the author of the Chronicles of the Eclipsed Realms. Here’s a glimpse into my journey and what inspired me to write these novels.

Growing up in the vibrant city of Bangalore, India, I was surrounded by a rich tapestry of culture, history, and mythology. My grandmother used to tell me stories of ancient Indian legends every night, filling my dreams with heroic deeds, powerful gods, and mystical realms. These stories, deeply rooted in our heritage, sparked my imagination and planted the seeds for my love of fantasy.

As I grew older, my fascination with storytelling only intensified. I would often escape into books, losing myself in the intricate worlds crafted by authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling. However, I always yearned to see more of my own culture’s influence in the fantasy genre. This longing inspired me to start writing my own stories, blending the enchanting elements of Indian mythology with universal themes of adventure, courage, and self-discovery.

The Chronicles of the Eclipsed Realms is a culmination of my lifelong passion for fantasy and my desire to share the magic of Indian-inspired tales with the world. Through these novels, I aim to transport readers to a world where ancient legends meet modern narratives, creating a unique and captivating experience.

Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait for you to explore the realms I’ve created!
