Enter the unknown.
In Lenore Graysen's worlds, death has a job, immortality has a price, and the people caught between them aren't always the heroes you'd expect.
Meet
Lenore.
Lenore Graysen writes dark fantasy where monsters are rarely the most frightening thing in the room.
Inspired by folklore, intricate magic systems, and the haunting beauty of forgotten places, her stories explore loyalty, sacrifice, grief, and the fragile hope that survives even the darkest nights.
When she isn't writing, she's often relaxing in the pine forests of northern Arizona, gaming with friends, or chasing the next idea that refuses to let her sleep.
She believes the best fantasy doesn't only help us escape reality, but it reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is still something worth fighting for.
Her writing invites readers to step beyond the familiar and lose themselves somewhere darker, stranger and infinitely more intriguing.

Death's
Prison
Book One · The Chronicles of Athed
Death was never meant to be imprisoned.
For a century, Athed has been trapped in a prison built to contain something the world was never supposed to capture: Death herself.
But immortality has consequences.
As the wealthy extend their lives and the poor pay the price, a small crew of unlikely allies finds itself pulled into a dangerous plan that could change the balance between life and death forever.
There will be secrets. There will be Magick. There will be heists.
And there is absolutely no guarantee anyone will make it out unchanged.
