Hector Miller is a historical fiction author who specializes in the ancient and early medieval world. His most ambitious work, The Thrice Named Man series, follows a single protagonist across seventeen books and multiple historical settings, from Scythia and the Roman legions through Gothic kingdoms and beyond. The series began in 2018 with three books released simultaneously – Scythian, Legionary, and Sasanian – and has continued with regular additions through 2025.
His second series, erilaR, takes a different approach, focusing on the Viking Age across five books published between 2019 and 2025. The series title refers to a Norse runemaster, and the books draw on Norse mythology and Viking culture alongside historical events.
Miller’s fiction is written for readers who enjoy detailed historical settings and the challenge of following a protagonist through radically different cultures and time periods. The Thrice Named Man series in particular rewards readers who commit to the full sequence, as the protagonist’s identity and experiences accumulate meaning across the seventeen volumes.
