Aqwaeris: The Cycle of Korza

Aqwaeris: The Cycle of Korza

...is an epic fantasy series currently in writing by author Linda Engelsgaard (aka Dida/ Dida Writes/ Dida Pebbles online). It started off as an idea for a single, humble book, but was soon expanded to a trilogy already in the planning phase. However, that wouldn't last long either – it has grown into a fully fledged series.

As of March 2026, this book series has been in the making for about 3.5 years. It currently looks like growing into about 11–13 books, but this is still undecided.

Publishing style will be indie and digital rather than traditional publishing, with print-on-demand availability – and while the author is Norwegian born and bred, the series is written in English. And a little bit of Korzan.

First book:

Book 1 is drawing near the point of beta reading – keep eyes peeled for posts in that direction later! Subscribe if you haven't already, and get updated in real time!

Book 1: Crossroads of the Fates

Sir Jacquelon is new in Castleport, the Korzan Realm's capital city. When the story starts, there's a royal funeral going on, and Jack gets a first hint at the Dark Ones' involvement in events, society – and even his own life.

Then there's the awfully young High Queen, ascending the throne even before she's had her magical awakening, but that too is about to change. And when she does awaken with magical Skill, she goes from totally unprepared to... inevitable?

There's action, magic everywhere, intrigues and a lot about trust. Unique friendships, development, and unexpected twists and turns.

A classic epic fantasy with nobles, royals, castles, horses, and the fight for power and control, but with a unique take on magic, character-driven fantasy, and worldbuilding, written in a distinct style.

There will be dragons too, however not in Book 1.

With the Korzan Cycle, you're in for an immersive, classic read of layered writing, charismatic characters and unforgettable events!

Here is where you learn how and when to get it – stay updated on tidbits, worldbuilding and posts with other "brain froth" as well!

Hope to see you again soon!

Love and care, all the best
