The Authors
Desmond Robertson
The fantasy author and creator of the Sagas of Vaelora, an epic fantasy world featuring anthropomorphic creatures facing ancient magical threats. His debut novel, "The Burrow and the Blade," follows Babax Merrifur and his party as they confront dark sorceresses and abyssal cults.
​
Robertson's storytelling roots trace back to a family tradition—Vaelora began as "a fun, little pretend world" created by his mother for family entertainment. Now he has expanded this cherished creation into a fully realized fantasy universe for readers everywhere.
With rich world-building and immersive storytelling, Robertson crafts tales that blend intimate character moments with epic adventure, exploring themes of family, courage, and the struggle between light and darkness in a world where every shadow might hide danger.

Beyond his role as creator of Khoran and primary co-writer of "Khoran: Lord of Wolves" in collaboration with Desmond Robertson, McIntosh has established himself as a prolific voice in speculative fiction.
​
His published works include "XOGENASYS" and several upcoming titles: the epic fantasy "GRIMMOIRE," the gothic fantasy "Hallow Fable," and the adventure series "Azure Epoch." McIntosh's signature creation, Khoran Azara Sunkarrah—the towering warrior-king who embodies the paradox of savage strength and noble leadership—represents his talent for crafting characters who walk the razor's edge between civilization and primal nature.
​
Throughout his career, McIntosh has pushed for innovation across multiple entertainment mediums, including comic books where he has served as editor on various collections. His collaborative approach with Robertson has seamlessly blended intimate character moments with epic fantasy adventure, expanding the Sagas of Vaelora universe from the burrowfolk's peaceful valleys into the blood-soaked battlefields and divine mysteries of Djamara.
