Meet the Creator of The Durajan Series

A world built on remembrance. A series forged in consequence.

About the Author

A. H. Lewis is the author of The Durajan Series, a sweeping, multi-voiced epic told through journals and lived testimony—where survival becomes community, and remembrance becomes resistance.

Lewis is a lifelong storyteller drawn to questions of faith, memory, and what endures when all else is stripped away. The Durajan Series began in the margins—scattered notes, late-night questions, and fragments of a world he could no longer keep to himself—until it grew into The Awakened World, a setting built on the sacred act of remembering.

His debut, The Chronicles of Durajan, is a sweeping, multi-voiced epic of banishment, endurance, and rebirth—where those cast from the Nine Nations rise from ruin, forge unlikely bonds, and carve their names into history. Book Two, The Empires of Durajan, continues the saga as survival hardens into consequence: faith becomes power, unity demands sacrifice, and the line between leader and legend begins to blur.

He lives in Connecticut with his wife, Anne—his closest collaborator and fiercest supporter.
