A nation's elite warriors vanished. A throne in jeopardy on the heels of murder. War devouring the survivors…

Ten years ago, the Kingsmen were summoned to re-swear their bonds to the king or be charged with treason—and were never heard from again.

Elohl den’Alrahel was just a boy when his people disappeared without a trace. Now a jaded military veteran, inked with the Blackmark and despised for it, he seeks the truth of the betrayal that decimated his people.

Elohl reunites with his sister Olea, Guard Captain for the new young queen, only to find a secret cabal controls the throne since the old king’s death.

As an attempt on the queen’s life plunges the nation into chaos, Elohl must choose—to protect the crown that betrayed him, or not.

Now, Elohl and Olea must give up everything to shatter the hidden sect that usurps power from the throne.

But as war threatens, will the exiled new queen trust the Kingsmen like her predecessors once did?

Or will a bloody war be reaped in the shadows—burning all nations and bringing all kings to their knees?

An Amazon bestselling series in Epic Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery from an award-winning author, the Kingsmen Chronicles is an heroic saga of treachery, war, and magic.

A complete series with three books, featuring complex characters, outcasts battling against all odds, adult situations, gripping battle, and spectacular world-building, this epic saga has been compared to Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicles, George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, and Joe Abercrombie's The First Law series.

“Like George R.R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss, JL Carlson brought forth emotions in me that books from my youth never could.” — RonC, Amazon US

Hi! I’m Jean!

I write stories that bring out the best in us, no matter what we are going through at the time. I believe in making our souls better, and our lives, by the process of transformation. And that’s what I write in my pages, through epic adventures that just won’t quit!

An Amazon bestselling and award-winning fantasy author, I write truly epic, adventurous fantasy fiction. I love heroes with heart, heroines with punch, and 100% unique plots that keep you guessing until the very end.

My characters are deeply human, even when magic abounds. The raw and extensive worlds they occupy have been compared to such fantasy greats as Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, George R.R. Martin, Joe Abercrombie, and Patrick Rothfuss. READ MORE

"Adult fantasy that hits all of the senses in the best possible way. Grittier than LOTR, Ms. Carlson has a gorgeous way with words that wrap you in a cocoon of imagination." - Jason R., Amazon UK

What can you expect from a Jean Lowe Carlson series?

My primary fantasy world for the extended Kingsmen Chronicles saga is a European-style world. However, the map spans three continents, and the characters adventure to a Viking-style area, medieval French, Italian, Greek, and beyond. A large portion of this story also takes place in a Middle Eastern-style fantasy world, on a desert sub-continent.

I write extremely descriptive epic fantasy, like a “movie in your mind”, though I keep the pace moving. The feel of my books is always adventurous, blistering, dangerous, political, and wild, a world that feels so real you could get lost in it, and spend hours pouring over the maps and appendices, which are also included for each series.

I write for the 25+ crowd, with adult issues, deep personal growth, and intense scenes. The multi-POV cast in my books are all ages, and their conflicts with each other can be severe. I don’t pull any punches in the pages, and trigger warnings abound, so these books aren’t for the faint of heart.

My series do have numerous relationships that develop over the course of each story. There are sex scenes, some decently graphic, although the content always focuses on the relationship between the characters. Their intimacy is part of the story; it effects their relationship and overall situation, helping them grow stronger together by the hardships they go through.

No! I write all my books without AI. I use AI spelling and grammar checks in the final edit, but these books are 100% human-written and therefore, entirely unique.
