Patrick Collin Wheeler writes epic fantasy that reads like historical fiction - where supply chains matter as much as swords, and kingdoms don't fall in glory but fracture under the weight of their own promises. His debut novel, The Fracture of the High Kingdom, follows multiple perspectives as a realm discovers that bureaucracy, not magic, holds civilization together - and watches what happens when the ledgers stop balancing. Patrick lives in Tampa, Florida, and believes the best fantasy worlds feel lived-in, not just imagined.
