Gathering Storms
A world scarred by forgotten storms, a griffin reborn, and a girl who must face both the wild and herself
Amber Veloré never asked to be a hero. A daughter of the forest, her gift for taming wild creatures should have been enough. But when a legendary griffin crashes into her world on her nineteenth Crossing Day—majestic, wounded, and brimming with primal fury, a creature beyond even her ability—her quiet life shatters.
The storm is coming. And when it breaks, who will rise?

“Lucas Fischhaber has created something truly special here. The world of Solaris feels lived-in and real, and Amber Veloré is a protagonist I’ll be thinking about for a long time. The themes of redemption and hope shine through without ever feeling preachy.”

“This is high fantasy at its finest. The world-building is extraordinary, and the characters feel so real. The griffin mythology is unlike anything I’ve read before—fresh, exciting, and deeply meaningful. I can’t wait for the next installment of the Age of Wonder series!”

Meet Lucas Fischhaber
Lucas Fischhaber is an Army veteran, nuclear engineer, and disciple of Jesus living in a hidden grove along the west coast of Michigan—a land of cider, blueberry cobbler, golden beaches, and winding trails through whispering pines.
A lifelong lover of stories, Lucas believes that truth and wonder are best found together. He writes to remind readers that light can still break through the storm, that faith and courage belong as much to ordinary people as to heroes of legend. His debut novel, Gathering Storms, begins the Age of Wonder series—a sweeping epic of memory, forgiveness, and the rediscovery of a forgotten world.
When not writing, Lucas can be found designing worlds, sketching maps of Solaris, riding single-rack mountain bike trails, or tossing a frisbee to his Australian Shepherd, Orion’s Arrow. He treasures his beautiful wife of countless years, his three extraordinary children, and the small adventures that fill their days with laughter and grace.
If the wardrobe to Narnia opened tomorrow, he would step through without hesitation. He’d raise a mug to Frodo at the Green Dragon, guard his own jar of dirt beside Captain Jack, and sail the Dawn Treader straight toward the edge of Aslan’s country.
Like the traveling Bard of Solaris, Lucas lives on the gratitude of his audience—and on the hope that his stories might guide others toward light, wonder, and the God who still speaks through both.
