Worldbuilding & The Mirelands

The Mirelands belongs to a larger fictional universe. The setting of the story is the continent of The Mirelands, which exists on the planet Kthonia. Six books in this world have already been published, with a final goal of ten books. Dramatized audio drama adaptations have been produced for the first five books; the sixth audio drama is currently in development, seeking actresses and actors for voice roles. The long-term goal is a multimedia franchise spanning books, games, audio dramas, tabletop projects, and film collaborations.
