<p><span>From Ohio, B. A. Rowe crafts tales steeped in the shadows that linger at the edge of the map. An affinity for the darker aspects of story, nurtured through a deep history of gaming. From this solitary forge of creativity springs the dark epic fantasy saga, Lords of Light and Shadow. The world of Ardinia, first chronicled in Echoes of the Blight, unveils a world born from a self-developed RPG universe – a realm where corruption festers, survival is a brutal currency, and the line between enduring the darkness and becoming it is perilously thin, took root not in ancient scrolls, fueled by an extensive history exploring vast digital realms and driven by an affinity for the grim beauty found in darkness, Rowe weaves tales where survival is a stark necessity, ancient evils are more than just legend, and the choices characters make echo with the weight of a world teetering on the edge. Rowe seeks to explore not just the clash of swords or the flare of magic, but the grit and grim choices forced upon those who walk a blighted path.</span></p>
