Chronicles of Paradīsus
C.J. Appleby is currently working on manuscripts for an upcoming fantasy series. Inspired by authors such as Terry Pratchett, Philip Pullman, Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, J.K. Rowling and Alison Croggon, C.J. Appleby has invented her own world. Paradīsus has four continents: Orbis, Australis, Erientem and Boreas, which habitat different cultures, climates and communities.
The first of many subseries in the Chronicles of Paradīsus will focus on the contient of Orbis. These first five books Legend of Iron Spine documents the life of ancient heroine Chaelle Skyson and her companion familiar, Ohanko, an Aksalan jaguar.
