Dear Reader,

Thanks for joining me on paolodanese.com. I hope you will stick around for updates on my latest editorial projects. At the moment, I am fully focused on the launch of Rise of the Nemesis on August 10, 2024. This book has been in the works since 2020 and I am so happy to be approaching the (very temporary) finish line.

Rise of the Nemesis is my first piece of adult fiction after launching my YA epic fantasy debut Path of the Guardian in 2020, a story I came up with while still a teenager! Just like myself, the characters have become adult since! The story has taken a darker, more mature turn. I cannot wait to share it with you all.

I routinely post to Substack on two different blogs:

At paolodanese.substack.com, you can find my articles on creative writing, the publishing industry, technology, and the intersection of all of the above. At portalwars.substack.com I focus on all things epic fantasy fiction, in particular my ongoing saga set in the “Portal Wars Universe”. Check them out, and if you like, support my writing by subscribing!

Want to meet the heroes (and some villains) in my fantasy universe before the release of Rise of the Nemesis?

Sign up for my newsletter here on the paolodanese.com website, or on portalwars.substack.com and receive a FREE digital copy of the “Heroes of Rise of the Nemesis” booklet!

It will introduce you to Boren, a hero haunted by his past as he embarks on a vengeful quest.
