Lorne Ryburn is an author of dark epic fantasy. He is best known for The Menocht Loop series, beginning with the novel of the same name, which follows a soldier trapped in a cyclical, hellish struggle that forces him to relive versions of the same war, continuing through The False Ascendant, The Samsara Crucible, The Blade of Revelation, The Eldemari's Wrath, and The Trials of Descent. Ryburn's fiction is built around a single sustained, grim fantasy saga exploring cycles of death, judgment, and redemption, delivered across six densely plotted volumes released in quick succession between 2021 and 2023, tracking its protagonist's slow descent toward a final reckoning.
