Books by Dana Birkmour

Choose your world

Will you step beyond the frontier—or follow the monster out of the story written for her?

Two reading paths, each forged from mythology, power and the old stories that still shape us.

Begin with what calls to you

What do you want your next story to feel like?

Mythic historical fantasy

The Borderlands of Britannia

History shapes the fantasy. Belief has consequences. The gods belong to places and peoples—not to the margins of the story.

You may belong here if you want…

  • Fantasy set in second-century Roman Britain
  • Romans and Britons living with very real gods
  • Celtic, Romano-British and classical mythology
  • Empire, cultural collision, memory and belief

Mythic romantasy

Claimed by Fate

Inherited stories are not neutral. Monsters may have reasons, maidens may refuse rescue, and fate does not always get the final word.

You may belong here if you want…

  • Mythic romantasy and dangerous bargains
  • Familiar monsters seen from another angle
  • Women resisting the roles assigned to them
  • Interconnected standalones readable in any order
Follow fate’s thread
