The universe of the Revenant Saga is officially open for exploration. The master manuscript for The Seeds of Vardanis is completely locked in, and we are thrilled to finally share the official cover art!

The Seeds of Vardanis by Virgil Brooks is a full-length prequel novel that takes you back to the very catalyst of this new saga.

“Civilization is built by frightened people making irreversible choices, and every generation inherits both the shelter and the damage.”— The Seeds of Vardanis, Core Premise

By launching this untold origin story first, we are laying the groundwork for an epic summer. Because both the prequel and Book 1 of the main saga are structurally complete, you won't have to wait years to find out what happens next. The main saga kicks off just weeks after the prequel.
