GnomeSaga is Kenny Soward’s fantasy series, and it takes the unusual approach of making gnomes the main characters. Rough Magick, Tinkermage, and Cogweaver follow gnome protagonists who blend magical ability with mechanical ingenuity. Published between 2013 and 2015, the trilogy gives gnomes the narrative spotlight they rarely receive in fantasy fiction.
The series stands out in Soward’s catalog as his primary fantasy work, surrounded by post-apocalyptic sci-fi on all sides. The gnome characters bring humor and inventiveness to a genre that often takes itself very seriously.
