The mesmerizing world of fantasy just gained yet another bright star in its constellation. Langdon Franz, a passionate fantasy lover hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, has harnessed his imaginative genius to craft a realm unlike any other in his debut novel “Heirs of the Promise.” As an experienced board and video game lover, Franz’s swerve into the world of fantasy literature has excited enthusiasts, sweeping readers into an enchanting world where immortality has a hefty price tag.
Franz has always nurtured a dream of writing, dabbling in storytelling as a young 13-year-old. His journey, alongside his supportive family and a legion of pets, allowed him to fulfill his ambition, ultimately culminating in the accomplishment of his Master’s in English and Creative Writing in 2022. This milestone subsequently paved the way for the birth of “Heirs of the Promise,” a creation that is already gathering rave reviews among the readership.
Garnering a consistent string of praise-filled reviews on Amazon, readers have lauded Franz’s talent for engendering a richly layered world with enigmatic characters. His novel has the power to captivate readers to the extent that real-life chores and responsibilities become secondary.
“Just one more page,” says one reader, giving voice to all those who have found themselves enthralled with Franz’s narrative prowess. It’s no wonder that he is swiftly cementing his place among North Carolina’s esteemed novelists as fans all over eagerly await more from this prodigious author.
Franz’s creation takes you into the life of Kilal, a character who carves an intricate ritualistic rune into his wrist every forty-eight hours to prolong his immortality. With his wife presumed dead, his daughter missing, and his enemies looming at the edges of his homeland – the Sunlight Domain, Kilal’s sanity hangs by a thread. He’s haunted and hunted, and the need for immortality deepens.
In this world of fading sanity, overlapping loyalties, and a brutal cost of eternal life, Kilal embarks on a desperate mission. Gathering a group of warriors, Kilal tasks himself with not only thwarting the invading forces of Ash Fallen but also unmasking the sedition within his ranks – The Heirs of the Promise. Facing a myriad of challenges, Kilal’s race against time to salvage his crumbling world is a story that promises to captivate readers across the globe.
Langdon Franz is not just confined to the realm of literature. He is currently engrossing himself in the creation of a cosmic horror board game alongside his wife. Keeping book lovers on their toes, book 2 of The Immortal Arbiter Saga, titled “The Tower of Eyes,” is also slated for release in December 2024.
Franz’s affinity with the fantasy genre illustrates that there is a realm beyond our mundane world. He imbibes his fantasy with elements of the known reality, giving his creations a unique amalgamation of speculative fiction. His detailed world, which houses an intertwined network of real and fantasy, like the capital city, Silent Haven, is a testament to his innovative mindset.
His writings are inspired by acclaimed authors like Brandon Sanderson and H.P. Lovecraft, adopting different genre elements to form a gripping narrative structure. It is this passion, commitment to his craft, and disciplined approach that has culminated in the rise of a new, vibrant voice in fantasy literature. And from the looks of it, Franz’s star is only destined to shine brighter in the future.
