Science fantasy books for curious explorers.
Magic, forgotten machines, and celestial mysteries meet in The Starforge Chronicles by Jason Pingel. If you’re looking for sci-fi fantasy books with imagined worlds to explore, begin with a free first chapter.
Where fantasy meets ancient technology
Science fantasy brings elements of science fiction and fantasy into the same story. In these books, the mystery of old machinery sits alongside magical beings and powers the characters are still learning to understand. Discoveries matter because they change what the characters can do—and what they must choose.
Seren Vey follows secrets hidden in forgotten places. Mira Ashwren faces the cost of protecting freedom, and Voss, a six-eyed stormcat, challenges human ideas about intelligent magical animals. The illustrated maps offer another way into their world, from a full world centerfold to city street maps.
For readers of Brandon Sanderson
In his discussion of Mistborn’s magic system, Brandon Sanderson explains his interest in mixing science and magic. If that combination appeals to you, The Starforge Covenant may be a next sample to try: its premise brings together ancient machinery, celestial mysteries, and a dangerous awakening.
Use the free chapter to decide whether Jason’s storytelling suits your taste. Look for the discoveries that draw you in, the characters you want to follow, and the questions you want the rest of the book to answer.
