Quest Complete: The 6th North Hobby Expo 2025

The final day closed like the last page of a story — quiet, surreal, and full of color.
Our booth became a small universe of indie tales, handmade spells, and art stitched from sleepless nights.

From our writers’ books and comics, to crochet charms, stickers, tote bags, and postcards — every piece carried a part of who we are.

To everyone who passed by, listened, bought, or simply shared a smile — thank you for breathing life into our little world.

⚔️ Quest complete.
But the story goes on — and so will we.

TYLER HARISSON & the Gryphon's Sacred Blood

📚✨ Introducing: Tyler Harrison Chronicles ✨📚

We’re excited to unveil Tyler Harrison & the Gryphon’s Sacred Blood — the debut fantasy novel by Nico Sarmiento! 🌌

Follow the story of Tyler Harrison, a boy who never believed he was destined for greatness—until a dream changed everything. Haunted by doubts yet thrust into a world where gods walk among mortals and magic thrives, Tyler must face not only dark forces but also the greatest battle within himself.

Synopsis:

Tyler Harrison never thought he was destined for greatness. To him, he was nothing more than a failure—unreliable, overlooked, and never quite enough.

But one night, everything changed.
A woman wreathed in flames descended from the skies, pressing an egg and a sealed letter into his hands. She spoke of the Dark Lord of Magic, immortality bought with gryphon’s blood, and a fate Tyler could not yet fathom.

Haunted by doubts yet driven forward, Tyler is thrust into a world where gods walk among mortals and magic thrives. But the greatest battle may lie within:
Will Tyler rise for those who believe in him—or be consumed by the dark secrets of the two greatest wizards who ever lived?

⚡ The journey begins here!
