Jordan Nieland is a fantasy author drawn to intricate stories shaped by myth, geography, and political consequence. Born in rural North Dakota, he has been inventing worlds and tales since childhood—just ask his mother about the invasive arachnid species he fabricated at age six.

Influenced by the works of Tolkien, Lewis, Austen, and Dickens, Jordan developed a keen appreciation for mythic structure, political tension, and character-driven storytelling. His experience in theatre and lifelong love of oral storytelling naturally led him toward epic fantasy, where personal choices form the history that will become legend.

An avid world-builder with a love of cartography, Jordan has spent years refining the tales that inhabit his imagined landscapes. His debut epic political fantasy, The Song of Sava, unites nuanced world-building with profound personal and political stakes.

When he isn’t writing, Jordan enjoys spending time with his family, playing strategy games, and composing music—often while daydreaming of the next map or myth waiting to be written.
