A little bit about the author…

Hi, I’m E.L. Li!

I’m an author, a software engineer, a gamer, and an overthinker.

I’m a dreamer who writes stories that have existed in my head since I was a child that are heavily inspired by video games and shows that I grew up with!

 

My Debut Novel

The ideas for Realm of Hope have existed in my head ever since I was 11 years old.

I originally wrote the story in the form of a comic book series after getting inspired by Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy.

By high school, I wrote it as a screenplay for a video game. I wrote several other screenplays for games that took place in the same universe of Realm of Hope, but in different time periods.

By college, I decided to rewrite my original stories as books.

Realm of Hope takes place the latest in the timeline and introduces the universe that has existed in my mind for more than half my life. If you like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Mistborn, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, DND, or anime… Realm of Hope is the book for you.

Blurb:

In the Mortal Realm, legends of ancient heroes live on—warriors from powerful bloodlines who rose to defend their lands, aided by the Gods. But centuries later, a relentless darkness has spread, consuming all six worlds of the Realm. Shadowed creatures grow stronger with each passing decade, and even with advancements in magic and technology, nations crumble.

To fight back, the descendants of past heroes have formed a coalition, training from childhood to become elite warriors known as Agents. These warriors don’t just battle—they grow stronger, sharpen their abilities, and rank up through grueling trials. Among them is Skye, a young heroine cursed with terrifying yet immense power. She and her team must climb the ranks, mastering their supernatural abilities and legendary weapons, all while unraveling the truth behind the Realm’s collapse.

With each battle, they level up—but the mysteries lurking in the shadows may be stronger than they ever imagined. The fate of the Realm rests in their hands, but to save it, they must push beyond their limits before it's too late.

Realm of Hope’s Sequel

My second book, Realm of Hope’s sequel, has been released! After hearing amazing responses and feedback for Realm of Hope, Queen of Blades takes it up a notch! I spent extra time between releases to shape this sequel the best it can be and apply what I have learned as an author and a writer in the past years!

Several early reviewers have mentioned that Queen of Blades is like “Realm of Hope, but better in every way!”

Blurb:

In the pursuit of doing good, they must sacrifice some of the good in themselves.

After their deadly encounter at the Typhon’s Base, Skye and her team are left with more questions than answers. Now ranked among the elite within the Agency, they’re thrust back into the chaos of a world in peril. Rogue Cerberus members and terrifying new Risen threaten the fragile balance of the Realm.

To uncover the truth and halt the Typhons’ destructive plans, Star Strike must venture into the treacherous Labyrinth. As battles rage and secrets come to light, the young Agents face new foes, forge unexpected alliances, and grapple with the cost of their mission.

With the Realm’s survival at stake, the team must confront their greatest fears and darkest truths. The war between Mortals grows ever more desperate, and the clock is ticking.

Queen of Blades, the electrifying sequel to Realm of Hope, cranks up the action, drama, and stakes in a battle for the fate of the Realm. Packed with epic fights, unforgettable characters, and jaw-dropping twists, it’s a must-read for fans of video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and adrenaline-fueled fantasy adventures. Don’t miss this next chapter in the fight against darkness!
