A still mountain lake at night beneath the Milky Way — the peaks, pines, and stars mirrored in the black water.

Bill McKibbin · Epic Fantasy

The water is calming.

The world begins anew.

The Series

Chronicles of the Still Lake

On the shores of the Still Lake, magic is not commanded — it is received. Every gift drawn from the water leaves a ripple, and ripples do not care when they land. A new epic fantasy about the ones who listen, the ones who reach, and the difference between them.

Book One — December 1, 2026. Book Two follows in June 2027 — finished before Book One ever ships — and Book Three that November.
