Books

Writing is one of the central parts of Russel Frans’ creative work. These stories are shaped by imagination, character, tension, and the larger worlds they inhabit. Here you’ll find current and upcoming books, with more to be added over time as new work is released.

Victory and Death: The Planewars Saga: Book One is an epic fantasy novel set across twenty-seven known worlds shaped by war, rebellion, and immortal rulers. At the center of the story is Artorus Vallon, a battle-worn general determined to challenge a conflict that has consumed the multiverse for more than three centuries.

With his half sister Mala and a growing rebellion beside him, Artorus sets out to confront an enemy believed to be impossible to kill. The result is a sweeping fantasy story built on sacrifice, resistance, and the question of whether the cycle can finally be broken.

“Victory and Death is a strong, emotionally resonant opening to a saga that clearly has a lot more to say about war, faith, rebellion, and what mortals owe to those who claim to rule them forever.”
— Melissa Suggitt, Independent Book Review

“A delicate balance of political intrigue, elaborate world building, and thrilling action merges into an epic medieval fantasy.”
— Kirkus Reviews

History has been rewritten. Across the twenty-seven worlds of the multiverse, rebellions have erupted, thanks to the actions of Mala Andrius, hero of the mortal rebellion, and her brother. But was there ever truly hope against an enemy that cannot be harmed by mortal hands? On another world, Duke Garreth Jacob is going to find out. He will recruit the help of general Ava Serrin and leaders across his nation. Together, can they prove the righteousness of their cause and change the fates of mortals? Or will they be crushed by the power of the immortal Wizards? History and Fates is a story of rebellion against impossible odds, and the second book in the Planewars Saga.
