I’m Sai Xande, a fantasy author dedicated to crafting immersive tales that blend ancient legacies, divine power, and deeply human stories. My current trilogy, The Crimson Banner Chronicles, is set in the vast, war-torn world of Aevum — a place where oaths shape reality, gods walk unseen, and empires teeter on the edge of ruin.

I’ve spent years developing this world—layer by layer—crafting its history, cultures, and myths to feel as real as any ancient civilisation. Inspired by the grandeur of Rome, the resilience of Celtic tribes, and the sacred power structures of the Aztecs, Egyptians, and other ancient cultures, Aevum is a world shaped by empire, ritual, and the tension between faith and rule. It explores the moment when power falters, myths bleed into truth, and those burdened with inheritance must decide what to save—and what to let burn.

I strive to balance the epic and the intimate. My stories explore crumbling empires, forbidden magic, and divine reckoning, but at their heart are characters caught between legacy and choice — between what they were born to be, and what they dare to become.

Worldbuilding has always been more than a hobby for me. It’s how I explore history and culture, layering meaning into imagined places. Storytelling is the bridge that brings those worlds to life. Whether it’s a battle between immortals or a quiet moment between sisters, every scene is grounded in something real: a tension, a hope, a truth.

Thank you for walking this path with me. I hope you find something in Aevum that resonates — whether it’s awe, ache, or the quiet sense that you’ve been here before.
