Nicholas Roudas is a 23-year-old, independent epic fantasy author crafting immersive worlds with rich lore, strong philosophical undertones, and deeply human characters. His debut novel, The Fallstreak Arsenal: A Sound of Steel blends traditional epic fantasy with the darkness and depth of grimdark, resulting in a sort of "stark" fantasy that wows the reader with the spectacle of magic and empire, while exploring the weight of power, love, and legacy.
With extensive martial arts experience and a strong desire to answer some of life's biggest questions, Roudas balances cinematic scope and gritty realism, drawing comparisons to the styles of Sanderson, Martin, and Abercrombie. He has cultivated a small, but growing audience through Instagram, small reader communities, and direct engagement with local creative writing and historical fencing clubs.
This NetGalley campaign marks the release of Volume I of A Sound of Steel, which is ideal for readers seeking thoughtful, character-driven fantasy replete with mythic resonance. Reviewers, librarians, booksellers, and publishers are cordially invited to request this bold new addition to the genre.
