The gods are silent, the empire is cracking, and nothing sacred stays untouched.
Welcome to Emari—where the faithful bleed, and the fearless rise.

Amber Hansford - Fantasy Author

I’m Amber Hansford—writer, Dragon Con Filk track wrangler, and unapologetic lover of strong coffee and stronger stories. I’ve been crafting worlds and characters since my fanfic days (yes, some of it is still floating around the internet—be kind), and now I get to share the kind of epic, heart-driven tales I’ve always wanted to read. This is my little corner of the internet, where fantasy meets reality, chaos is always welcome, and there’s probably a new Apocalypse Skill™ in progress. Pull up a chair—let’s get lost in a story together.
