About the Author

Matthew Jordan is up-and-coming fantasy author. His debut series, Empires of Estoria, is scheduled to be released on June 16, 2025, the first book titled Embers of the Republic. 

Embers of the Republic puts a fresh spin on the epic, grimdark fantasy genre. Exploring themes of power, corruption, and survival, the novel takes the reader into a world reminiscent of ancient Rome, where power-hungry sycophants roam side by side with winged beasts, powerful potions, and mysterious magic.
 
You can pre-order the Kindle version of the novel now. Or, you can wait for the paperback to be released on June 16th.


Matthew is an avid reader of all things, from fantasy to literature, to sci-fi and horror, and everything in between. With his digital marketing background, he created this site to not only help market his books, but to also give readers a Sparknotes-like experience for books they love, but may not have ever been assigned in a high-school classroom.

By making summaries and analysis available for all types of novels, he hopes readers come back to the site for “second” helpings of their favorite works.  He currently resides in Seattle, where he enjoys long hikes, playing the piano, and visiting local bookshops, coffeehouses, and bakeries.
