Meet L.B. Arthur, an author whose debut novel, Ariessy of Midgard, is practically dripping with Norse mythology, all thanks to a hearty Swedish heritage.
Having spent time in London’s emergency services and working with kids, Arthur conjures a world where magical beings gifted by Norse gods blend into society, sneaky as you please.
Arthur also moonlights as a children’s book co-author alongside Callum, raising awareness about autism and the real-life quests parents and kids go through.
When not penning tales of gods and creatures, Arthur can be found chilling with family or strolling Kent’s stunning coastlines, probably plotting the next chapter in life’s epic saga.

Ariessy of Midgard
In Ariessy of Midgard, a richly imagined, magical journey unfolds, perfect for urban fantasy fans who enjoy coming-of-age stories. Seventeen-year-old Ariessy Taylor, born into the ancient Seivar line of sorcerers, has always struggled to control her unpredictable powers and find her place in a magical world that never quite felt like home. Silently bearing the weight of her difficulties, Ariessy’s world is turned upside down when the powerful wolf-shifters of Nidavellir reveal a startling secret about her past—one that changes everything she thought she knew about herself.
Enter Hale—strong, steady, and assigned to keep her safe. With an unyielding sense of duty, Hale’s mission puts him in direct conflict with Ariessy’s deepest desire for freedom. While he works to protect her from growing threats, Ariessy yearns to break free from the constraints of her lineage and the expectations placed on her.
As dark forces stir within the realm, Ariessy must navigate a treacherous path of dangerous enemies, buried family secrets, and her own inner turmoil. Along the way, she faces epic battles that call on both her growing powers and the strength of her heart. Fans of dark fantasy and mythological intrigue will be captivated by this thrilling urban fantasy adventure where magic, wolves, and sorcery collide in a race against time. The true battle, however, lies within Ariessy herself—learning to embrace not just her formidable abilities but her flaws and vulnerabilities as well.
