Col Buchanan is an Irish fantasy author who debuted with Farlander in 2010, the first novel in his Heart of the World series. The series grew to five books and established Buchanan as a writer of gritty, war-focused epic fantasy with a setting inspired by diverse historical cultures rather than the standard medieval European template.
In 2021, Buchanan moved into graphic storytelling with The High Wild: Neverwar, a three-episode graphic novel series. His fiction is characterized by large-scale military conflict, morally complex characters, and world-building that draws from a broad range of historical influences.
