“Where the author gets you hooked is that nothing seems forced, the plot rolls out naturally, and the magic and sorcery have merit and a quality based on believability.” Vancouver Writer on ARCANE

Sever Bronny, who devoured the Dragonlance books while growing up, is now a full-time author living in British Columbia, Canada. The Arinthian Line is his first series, consisting of ARCANE, RIVEN, VALOR, CLASH, and LEGEND. His second series is titled Fury of a Rising Dragon, and begins with BURDEN’S EDGEBoth series were inspired by “youthful adventures as a Polish boy scout. And Harry Potter.” Sever is super approachable and loves to hear from readers (and listeners). You can send him an email, follow along on his blog, and subscribe to his newsletter.

Sever was incredibly hands-on in the audiobook recording process, including sending audio clips of the spells so Stefan would deliver the perfect incantations in the audiobooks!

“Then we best prepare…”

The crowd dispersed, muttering amongst themselves. A few even ran.

Augum watched them go. “Prepare for what, Sir?”

Sir Westwood spat on the ground and took the proclamation from Augum. He stared at it. “For the inevitable.” –Excerpt from ARCANE


ARCANE: The Arinthian Line, Book 1 by Sever Bronny

Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

Fourteen-year-old Augum and friends Bridget and Leera dream of becoming warlocks. But with a kingdom in total chaos, it will take courage, sacrifice, and an iron will to make that dream come true. The lord of the legion, a vicious tyrant, has overthrown the king in a relentless and murderous quest for seven mythic artifacts—and Augum’s mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, possesses one. While Augum struggles with demons from a painful childhood, a betrayal puts him, his friends, and his mentor through a harrowing ordeal that threatens to destroy them all … and change the course of history.

ARCANE, the debut novel in the fantasy adventure series the Arinthian Line, follows three friends as they navigate an ancient, abandoned castle, endure grueling training, challenge old mysteries, and learn that a bond forged in tragedy might just be the only thing to save them from a ruthless enemy.

RIVEN: The Arinthian Line, Book 2 by Sever Bronny

Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

Augum, Bridget, and Leera want only to study new spells and make their legendary mentor proud. But when she unexpectedly departs on a crucial quest, they run afoul of a devious old witch and are forced to make a hasty getaway—straight into the hands of a notorious maniac known as the Blade of Sorrows.

Prisoners of the Blade and his sadistic apprentice, the trio must face their greatest challenge yet: escape using nothing but an ancient spell with some nasty side effects. But more than their lives are at stake, for an entire kingdom’s hopes rest with their mentor—and she’s heading for a deadly trap.


VALOR: The Arinthian Line, Book 3 by Sever Bronny

Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

Apprentice warlocks Augum, Bridget, and Leera have reunited with their legendary mentor, Anna Atticus Stone. But her epic battle with the diabolical Lord of the Legion has taken a toll, and now she suffers from a deadly arcane fever. To revive her, Augum will have to earn the respect of a warrior people … by facing his childhood tormentors.

Meanwhile, Augum and Leera’s feelings for each other are complicated by the upcoming Star Feast, a magical midnight dance to mark Endyear. Their revelry will have to be short-lived, however, for a perilous quest beckons—the trio must infiltrate an ancient castle that will pit them against enemies old and new, while testing every ounce of their skill and courage.


CLASH: The Arinthian Line, Book 4 by Sever Bronny

Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

Warlocks Augum, Bridget, and Leera are finally able to relax after a grueling ordeal in Bahbell. But their fugitive mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, tasks them with a dangerous new quest – sneak into an ancient library and research an artifact that could devastate the Legion, and turn the tide in the war.

Their substitute mentor Leopold Harvus, however, is an obsessive and petty man with a distaste for anything untoward, particularly Augum and Leera’s affections for each other. As their studies suffer from his meddling, Harvus finally pushes Augum too far – leading to a brazen act of rebellion that plunges the trio and their quest into mortal peril, for Harvus quickly proves he is not a man to be trifled with.


LEGEND: The Arinthian Line, Book 5 by Sever Bronny

Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

Imagine a spell that can age you a lifetime in heartbeats, turn loved ones into enemies, and set demons upon your soul…and imagine having to use it to save the kingdom.

Battle-tested Augum, Bridget, and Leera prepare for a final confrontation with the increasingly vicious Lord of the Legion. To face him, they must master a hopelessly complex spell they can only learn from their legendary mentor, Anna Atticus Stone.

But with a kingdom hurtling toward annihilation, Anna Stone’s health failing, and relationships crumbling under the stress, the trio face the most painful decisions of their lives. For the slim chance of victory, they’ll risk everything on a daring plan – one that, whether it triumphs or fails, will exact a terrible price.


LEGEND clocks in at over 26 hours. Talk about going out with a bang.

Just as Augum, Bridget, and Leera grew over the course of the series, Skyboat grew as a publisher right alongside them. These characters — and their author — will always have a special place in our hearts.
