STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND
What H.S. Crow has in stored for 2019
2019 was a year of growth...
2017, 2018, and 2019 has proven to be tough years for H.S. Crow. Lunora and the Monster King debuted back in April 1, 2017, and though it earned a good reception, it was not intended to be H.S. Crow's first steps into an already flooded industry.
Lunora and the Monster King has reached distribution around the world, and created the foundation for even bigger projects, Stars of Glass and Lunora the comic series. If you have yet to experience Lunora and the Monster King, don't hesitate. Read it. It's a must for any fan of fantasy, especially playwrights.
The poetic prose Crow imbues into his work tends to grip the heart, and he does not hesitate to target the issues happening around the world. Lunora and the Monster King--a tale influenced by the holocaust and the attacks on Syrian children--explored a young girl who suffered a great loss and her ability to strive for something more than just vengeance. She sought to break the chain of hatred, a feat capable of changing the world.
The story takes you into the twilight of Nevermore, a realm lost the strange white blur known as the Eversea. Here, a broken king rules with an obsidian fist as the kingdom mourns the loss of Aronul. Many blame seek to blame someone, and eyes have turned to a girl found sleeping in a bed of flowers.

Stars of Glass, Lunora, and Drums of Fog take place within the same universe, and they dive deeper into the world and characters.
Literary Quote:
H.S. Crow
"Words have oppressed and liberated countless. It is a weapon that can be used to inspire and save lives, or discourage and forsake them."
