Born in Europe, raised on classic fantasy and medieval battle tactics, and inspired by both legendary knights and historical kings, Ron C. Nieto believes that life is a chain of adventures and that everything worth doing must be done with passion.

After turning down a career in the corporate world, Ron writes fantasy books full of intrigue and action about true leaders and unlikely heroes who triumph in a grim, perilous world because they do the right thing. For a given definition of “right,” anyway.

When not writing, Ron enjoys tabletop role-play gaming (both D&D and Zweihander), racquet sports (which are a lot closer to swinging a sword than most people realize), and spending way too much time world-building and doing book research.
