The An’Loran Chronicles is K.A. Gandy’s step into epic fantasy, set apart from her post-apocalyptic work in a world where ancient magic and forgotten history shape what characters can and cannot do. Aerthen Sight and The Lost Talisman both arrived in 2022, establishing the An’Loran world and its rules within a tight publication window.
Aerthen Sight introduces the world and the central conflict, building out the mythology and the characters who will navigate it. The Lost Talisman follows directly, continuing the quest structure that the first book sets in motion. Together the two books give a solid picture of the world Gandy is building, though whether the series will expand beyond these two volumes remains open.
For readers who know K.A. Gandy from her Populations Crumble series and want to see how she handles a completely different genre, The An’Loran Chronicles is a clear demonstration that her strengths translate. The focus on world-building under pressure and characters who have to piece together what they don’t know carries over from her science fiction work into this fantasy setting.
