I’m Jon Cronshaw, an author of epic fantasy written with heart, grit, and moral weight.
My stories ask what people are willing to sacrifice when power, loyalty, and survival collide.
Hope exists in my work, even when it comes at a cost.
I write nobledark fantasy set in the Ravenglass Universe, including The Ravenglass Chronicles and The Ravenglass Throne.
These stories focus on empires under pressure, dangerous magic, political intrigue, and choices that cannot be undone.
Alongside fantasy, I also write speculative fiction, including post-apocalyptic series such as Wasteland and Punks Versus Zombies.
Across all my work, character comes first, consequences matter, and nothing is simple once the lines are crossed.
Hope bleeds, but never dies.
Three sisters…
One murdered king…
A kingdom on the brink of destruction.
The king is dead, assassinated before he could name an heir.
Now his daughters—Irmin the warrior, Adelinde the scholar, and Elana the diplomat—must piece together a conspiracy that threatens not just their throne, but the very magic that maintains their civilization.
As the bonds between riders and wyverns begin to unravel, they race against time to expose a plot centuries in the making.
Failure means more than losing a crown—it means watching their entire world collapse.
Yet in a court where every ally could be an enemy, even sisters might not be able to trust each other.
The Ravenglass Throne is a gripping epic fantasy serial packed with political intrigue, aerial combat, and the unbreakable power of sisterhood.
Perfect for readers who crave richly-drawn fantasy worlds where family bonds are tested, magic comes at a price, and betrayal lurks around every corner.
The empire took their home…
…now, they’ll take it down.
When Ragnar is captured by the empire that destroyed his homeland, he’s drawn into a world of court intrigue, ancient magic, and a destiny far beyond his imagining.
Meanwhile, his sister Maja, wielding a dangerous power, sparks rebellion in the empire’s heart.
Their choices will shape the fate of the empire. Will they rise as legends or be crushed by tyranny?
The Fall of Wolfsbane is an epic fantasy packed with adventure, magic, and the fight for freedom.
Perfect for fans of richly built worlds and character-driven sagas.
