Meet Lee Nicol, a Scottish lad born in 1982. When he’s not battling the hustle and bustle of life, he finds solace in the magical realm of fantasy. With a stack of Terry Pratchett, J.R.R. Tolkien, and J.K. Rowling books by his side, he’s a bona fide fantasy enthusiast. Oh, and did I mention his undying love for all things Star Wars? This guy knows how to escape into another galaxy.

​

But Lee’s not just a reader, he’s also a writer. In June 2017, he birthed his debut novel, "Elk of Eshia," and in October 2019, he graced the world with its sequel, "The Tainted Land." Holding those physical copies in his hands, seeing his imaginative worlds come to life, fills him with immeasurable pride.

​

His creative fire burns brighter than ever as he embarks on two exciting projects. First, an untitled guide to Eshia, where he’ll dive deep into the inner workings of this magical land. From the quirky inhabitants with their courage and humour, to the mouthwatering delicacies they devour and the awe-inspiring weapons they wield, Lee’s got it all covered. It’s a compendium that will make you wish you had a one-way ticket to Eshia.

​

And let’s not forget about book three, picking up where "The Tainted Land" left off. Lee’s busy crafting another thrilling adventure that’ll have readers on the edge of their seats. But wait, there’s more! He’s even cooked up a prequel to "Elk of Eshia" called "The Colossal War of Tastona." It’s currently in the editing stage, but soon it’ll be ready to whisk readers away on another epic journey.

​

Eshia, a vast war-torn land of magic, is still rebuilding from The Colossal War of Tastona that left devastation in its wake. But just when peace seems within reach, an ancient enemy emerges from the shadows, ready to stir up a fresh dose of chaos. Poor Elk, he can’t catch a break. He hasn’t even had breakfast yet, and now he’s thrust into a battle to save the day. The life of a hero is never fair, is it? Cue dramatic sigh.

​

So, grab a seat, get cosy, and prepare to be transported to the enchanting world of Eshia. Lee Nicol is here to guide you through every twist, turn, and magical encounter. Welcome to Eshia, where adventures await at every corner.
