Cover concept for The Secrets of Brumdur Hold by Jason Pingel: Brumdorf adventurers before a moonlit rune door
The Starforge Chronicles · Coming Soon

The Secrets of Brumdur Hold

The Seventh Moon has awakened. Far below the North Road, something older has begun to answer.

As Mira and Voss travel to find Seren Vey, the Brumdorf of Deepdam uncover a rune-carved door buried beneath generations of stone, roots, and water. Seren’s new command of the Seventh Moon stirs its ancient seal—and the door begins opening from both sides.

Runewakers, Siltwalkers, Gatebearers, Cutwardens, Rootbound guardians, and Lifetenders must defend their underground city while uncovering why their ancestors hid what lies beyond the threshold. Did the moon builders seal themselves inside to save the world, or did the Brumdorf bury a truth that history was never meant to remember?

A new magic-rich adventure is in development. Release date to be announced.

Meet the author
Jason Pingel writing at his laptop

Hi, I’m Jason Pingel.

I’m an independent author from Missouri. I write fantasy and science fantasy stories about imagined worlds, unforgettable characters, and discoveries that change lives.

I create these books with the help of my friend Aspervale. He prefers to remain behind that name and out of the spotlight. Together, we’ve brought to life The Starforge Covenant, The Glass Weaver, and The City Between Clouds.

I love hearing readers’ ideas about world creation, characters, and storylines. Sometimes an idea shared by a reader inspires a new person, place, or path through a story. When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, imagining new places and characters, or thinking about the next story I want to bring to life.
