Hi, I’m Luna Ryder—and I believe fantasy should be fun.

I love a big adventure as much as anyone, but I’ve got a pretty short attention span (thanks, neurodivergent brain!). I don’t want to slog through pages of forest description—I want magic, monsters, emotional gut punches, and jokes that actually land.

That’s why I wrote When Life Gives You Legends, and everything that came after. These stories are fast-paced, full of heart, and unapologetically weird—in the best way. You’ll find rogue halflings with trust issues, talking cheeses with attitude, and found families that will stick with you long after the final chapter.

If you're anything like me, you'll feel right at home here in the world of Verandel. The characters might be fictional, but they’re inspired by real people in my life doing super awesome, high-fantasy things.

This isn’t a series to be taken too seriously. It’s about embracing your inner misfit, laughing through the chaos, and saving the world anyway.

And I hope you will.
