Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the Chronicles?

  The Chronicles from Alku is a connected universe of books—some standalones, some series—that explore the lives of those who call Alku home.

• What is Alku?

  Alku is a sanctuary city where hidden species and races live apart from humans. It welcomes everyone: humans, sanguiste (often called vampires—though that term is considered rude among them), elemental witches, and many more. Whatever their reason for coming, Alku offers safety and belonging.

• Is there a reading order for these books?

  Yes and no. You can enter the Alku universe through either:

  • The Final Keeper Trilogy (Keeper’s Reign, Keeper’s Secrets, Keeper’s Prophecy)

  • The AIS Files (Earth, Beast, Metal)

  The Keeper Trilogy happens first chronologically, but The AIS Files only reference Alku lightly, so either entry point works.

• I loved the books, where do I get more about those in Alku?

  On Campfire! It’s a writing and publishing platform where I share bonus content—character bios, maps, languages, species data, and more. No matter where you bought the book, you can purchase extra content there.

• How many books are planned for the series?

  So far: two trilogies, four standalones, and one duology are written. At least six more are planned, with more likely to come.

• What books will be released next?

  • 2025: Part of the Forest (Nov 27)

  • 2026: Endless Years (Spring), Darcy’s Story (working title)

  • 2027: Shifting Metal, Council of the Keeper Trilogy Book 1

  • 2028: Council of the Keeper Trilogy Books 2 & 3

  • 2029: Self-Conservation

• Are there other shops that sell the Chronicles from Alku books?

• Are all of the books urban fantasy/romantasy?

  Nope!
  There's a mix, urban fantasy, urban romantasy, sci-fi romance, etc.
  Admittedly, each story has an element of love, but not all of it is romantic, nor the main point of the book.
  Some of the stories are M/F, M/M/F, M/F/F, and more. There are also a few focused on other types of love, that of a mother and a child, or a woman and the peoples she protects.

• Why is shipping so...expensive and complicated in your shop?

  Because some products are made‑to‑order, they ship from multiple locations (including directly from me). Final costs vary, but:

  • If you overpay, I refund the difference.

  • If you underpay, I cover it. If your country isn’t listed, contact me for a custom estimate

• Hidden alphabets of Alku?

  Shh... Alku has three hidden alphabets. Currently, you can find the Unification alphabet key in this blog post.

  Remember..."Keep it secret. Keep it safe."
