For those of you who have attended shows during the past year, you may have heard about Nene’s next big project; a series of novels based on the characters that she has been painting over the entire length of her career. This series, currently entitled “The Zarryiostrom,” is being written by her husband, with the cover art and interior illustrations created by Nene herself. When it is completed, the series will be approximately six books long, with each book containing at least 750 pages of story and art. Currently, only the first Seventeen chapters of Book One are completed, so the release date is still a long way off, but nevertheless we are proud to unveil the title of the series itself as well as give you a sneak peak at what is in store.
“The Zarryiostrom” is a sweeping fantasy epic about four kingdoms: warlike Dakkadia, wealthy Illymar, vast Ferralin, and the prize of prizes, the anarchic Badlands. The story covers a turbulent time between the four kingdoms, and the lives, loves, and conflicts of the main characters. Below you will find two images from the series; “The Prophecy” and “Destiny”, as well as the Prologue and the first chapter of the book itself.
We hope you enjoy your first taste of “The Zarryiostrom”. Click on the hyper links to read the Prologue , Chapter One, Chapter Two.and Chapter Three. We will be updating the page periodically, so please check back from time to time for news.
