Series Description: The Balance
In a world where ancient magic and perilous discovery intertwine, The Balance invites readers into an epic fantasy saga defined by emotional depth, immersive worldbuilding, and the enduring legacy of those who confront the unknown.
Enter the captivating world of
The Balance,
an epic fantasy series where adventure, magic, and
danger intertwine with themes of legacy, duty, and transformation. Set
against a backdrop of mysterious dungeons, powerful guilds, and an
evolving magical threat, the story follows the intertwined journeys of
compelling characters navigating a world teetering on the edge of chaos.
With a tone that matures alongside its characters,
The Balance
transitions from a classic guild-style narrative to a
broader exploration of institution-building, mentorship, and
intergenerational responsibility. Its strength lies in how the
emotional resonance of each decision ripples through both character
arcs and the wider world.
As the narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a world where
characters' emotional and ethical growth is as crucial as their
physical battles. The series evolves from the youthful exuberance of
classic guild fantasy to a more introspective exploration of a world
on the brink of transformation, featuring rich dialogue and intricate world-building.
Key Elements of the Series:
-
Immersive Worldbuilding: Every layer of this world—from the tang of sword oil in the training yards to the eerie glow of corrupted flora—is grounded in sensory, ecological, and cultural realism.
-
Multi-Faceted Characters: No figure is one-note. From battle-hardened mentors to gifted apprentices, each character evolves, revealing flaws, strength, and growth that drive the story’s deeper meaning.
-
Thematic Richness: At its heart lies a meditation on balance—between power and humility, ambition and responsibility, past and future.
-
Dynamic Progression: From early dungeon delves to institutional expansion and political tension, the series’ progression is as much about internal maturity as external escalation.
-
Purposeful Dialogue: Conversations reveal hidden fears, budding trust, and personal convictions, moving the plot while reflecting the characters' emotional landscapes.
Some praises for The Balance of selected beta-readers:
- "A mature high fantasy that is intelligent, slow-burning, and immersive".
- "The worldbuilding is intricate yet measured, prioritizing character interactions and internal growth".
- "Evokes Le Guin and Robin Hobb, without imitating them. Thoughtful, slow-paced, and steeped in emotional payoff rather than adrenaline rush"
- "Slow-burn pacing and reflective depth, The Balance blends the intimate focus of Robin Hobb with the structural elegance of Sanderson’s systems. Yet it remains its own voice—patient, purposeful, and committed to delivering not just spectacle, but resonance."
Step into a world where destiny isn’t seized in a single battle—but shaped through years of struggle, teaching, healing, and the quiet courage of those who choose to build.
The Balance is more than an epic, it’s a meditation on what we leave behind.

About the creator
Jack of all trades, no guru here.
(tl;dr: The creator hit 40 in a very bad financial position and is finally doing all that never in his younger years dared to more than work the 9 to 5.)
I am Pp. , I have been called Pepe since I remember my early toddler years, earliest I can go back to are memories from being 5 years old. Pp. became my pen name, my artist name, the way people can find me, and even my consultancy clientes and people I get to work with in forman traditional places, get to warm up to call me that. So, hello everyone this is Pp. I am mainly IT oriented for jobs, have gotten up to CTO and direct CEO's consultant. But that doesn't even get close to what I do.
I have tried so many things, many of them tied to art pursue, at 10
and older up to my 18th I was already writing poetry, prose and
publishing to forum, webrings and free sites my creations,
photography, short stories, long poetry series, amateur produced
electronic music. After that I started moving on, knowing thinking no
matter how many kudos, likes, love I got on my blogs and publishings
in forums, I was no artist, even convinced myself since nothing ever
got track and did not have much support on my close environment.
One must study, get a degree, find a steady job... you know all
that, I am a product of my generation, always against the norm and
asking the why and challenging the expectations of others, x-ennial
with desires of changing the world, but unable to even influence my
own family (to them I am grateful and no blames put on them since they
too are products of their environment and generations).
So? You have here someone that is 40 years old, has 20 years of experience on IT and Operations, 10 years of digital product and project management, over 25 years writing on and off fantasy, lyrics that never saw the light of day and scripts the very few select in my close circle have read. 10 years of photography on my "free time" working sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend and colleague, even partner. 6 years managing small young models and talents that didn't know how, when or where to start with their careers and needed someone who wouldn't take a dime, the eternal helper (yeah I know, don't say it). Other things in my back, music and video production, with a tiny registered label in Argentina, where I live with my wife and son, a tech startup partner to in 3 different countries.
Wow, many might say, but right now and for the last 4 months I've been on and off getting small consultant and contracts, no steady job since last layoff and the bills and debts are starting to creep me back into anxiety - fighting the panic attacks that are starting to get closer and closer every month.
This is part of my story, that with time I will be updating, but only felt like sharing up to this so far.
