With a background in Viking-era historical fiction and esoteric runes. Richard brings a rare depth of lore, mysticism, and immersive world-building to his work. His previous books have dissected the symbols and systems that governed ancient societies. Now, he applies that same intricate storytelling to speculative fiction. Where gods clash with machines, and warriors and rebels fight for their place in the universe.

Currently, he is developing a new speculative fiction series. A mythic saga that fuses Nordic mysticism, high-concept sci-fi, and brutal, character-driven storytelling. His upcoming projects explore themes of future war, post-civilization mythology, and humanity’s fate in an age of gods and machines. A natural evolution of his historical and esoteric expertise.

For readers who crave deep world-building, raw human conflict, and the razor’s edge where history meets prophecy, Richard Lister is an author to watch.
