Theyre Good Books

Because they're criminally underrated imo, and since there aren't any blogs for this fandom at all I'll just make my own. Call me Gryf! she/her pronouns! Asks and submissions not only welcomed, but actively encouraged!

As the last of his kind in a gryfon pride ruled by the conquering Red Kings, Shard has always known his destiny is merely to survive. He must strive to keep up with larger, stronger, crueler gryfons in order to earn his place as a warrior, or face exile. While on the dangerous initiation hunt that will either make or ruin him, Shard desperately takes the unexpected advice of a strange she-wolf who seeks him out, and hints that Shard’s past is not all that it seems.

Drawn to learn more, Shard risks the future he wants by making allies of creatures most gryfons call enemies, and learning ancient skills forbidden by the conquering kings. Secrets of his family, the Conquering, and perhaps even his own destiny begin to reveal themselves.

When the gryfon king declares open war on the wolves Shard has befriended, it throws his past and uncertain future into the turmoil between. Now with battle lines drawn, Shard must decide whether to fight beside his own king . . . or against him.

I have embarked on a challenge where I draw every single character in the Summer King Chronicles in alphabetical order! I will post them here in small batches, mostly in order, except for particularly spoilery characters... they get their own batch which I will tag appropriately, plus for each one I will tag the books the characters appear in so you can hide tags as you wish :D so far I am already finished with all the A's, just gotta slowly post them now

The Silver Cavern

School quarter's out so I finally had time to finish this!!! Yes!!! It's been in the works since October of 2025, and I am so so happy to see it complete!

Rambles + no-fire version below the cut!

I absolutely loved the silver cavern part in Shadow Sun. It's hardly a secret that I'm easily entranced big magical fantasy caves, and so when I read that part in the book I was practically bouncing off the walls! I knew I wanted to draw the scene (note: many artistic liberties were taken in the final version) but I'd never tried something of this scale or level of detail before. I took a lot of inspiration from Dinotopia: The World Beneath, and I just went for it!

Here's the version without all the glowy effects (admire my stones)

So anyway, thank you @authorjessowen for a big glowy fantasy cave, and I'll see you all in the the next project!

next batch, more side characters this time, Asbjorn doesn't appear in any books but he is mentioned by name (since there's a lot of free reign with his design, I based him off a bear due to his name)

Being the royal babysitter isn't all it's cracked up to be (ft. Tyrilar annoying Eyvindr, and Embra slugging Njord sibling style)
