The Faerieverse is a Realm
that Holds Countless Secrets
Beneath the misty Highlands and beyond the veil of mortal sight lies the Faerieverse, a living myth, stitched from forgotten oaths, ancient magic, and shadowed truth.
This is no ordinary fantasy world. It is a realm where bargains hold firm, names carry ancient power, and even the light reveals secrets too heavy to bear.
From the cursed veil of the Between to the grim throne of the Queen of Shadows, each tale reveals a thread of a much larger weave.
Because in the Faerieverse… nothing stands alone.
“Readers have entered the Faerieverse and they’re spellbound”
“Every page drips with atmosphere. It’s like reading folklore under moonlight. The Faerieverse is now my new obsession.”
“Drustan is a rare kind of hero flawed, fierce, and unforgettable. I’ve never rooted so hard for someone who didn’t want to be a hero.”
This Is not a Fairytale. This is a reckoning.
A realm of cursed names, broken bargains, and truths the light was never meant to touch.
Written in shadow. Bound in blood.

Author of Tales from the Faerievers
About the Author
“ Within each heart lies a spark of magic, quietly waiting for the call of adventure to ignite its true power."
Where Lore Becomes Lyrical
Timothy Swiney doesn’t just tell stories he conjures them.
Rooted in Celtic and Appalachian oral tradition, his prose moves with the rhythm of old-world myth and modern truth. These are tales that breathe, bleed, and remember where bargains have weight, where sorrow shapes heroes, and every shadow carries a whisper.
Born of Folklore. Forged in Story
Timothy Swiney grew up in the misty peaks and hidden hollows of the Appalachian Mountains, where old songs whispered through the trees and stories were passed down like heirlooms. With deep Scottish-Irish roots, he was raised on tales that danced between light and shadow, myth and memory.
A lifelong wanderer and devoted father, Timothy’s adventures from the Blue Ridge to Uruguay shape every story he tells. While balancing a career in medicine, he has authored four novels and seven acclaimed screenplays, all orbiting a central truth: stories can heal what history has tried to bury.
Now based in Atlanta, Timothy writes from the crossroads of myth and modern life. His work invites readers into realms where bargains echo, shadows speak, and the past never sleeps.
Timothy loves when the story echoes back.
Whether you’re a reader, book club host, folklorist, or simply curious, he’d love to hear from you.
From the Publisher
Timothy Swiney is a mythmaker with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer—a writer who sculpts fantasy and horror with precision and restraint. His work evokes the ancient mists of the Scottish Highlands and the dread silence of cursed glens, building worlds dense with folklore and stripped of indulgence. He refuses the crutch of tired tropes or theatrics, instead earning awe with each carefully chosen line.
With the patience of a historian and the fire of a bard, Swiney forges his prose like a blacksmith crafting blades, not baubles. His stories walk the narrow edge between beauty and brutality—often haunted, always human. He favors vivid imagery over lazy description, believing every flicker of movement, every shadow cast, must serve the tale. His villains are never caricatures of evil but broken souls shaped by land, legacy, and loss.
Even his horror is old-souled—rooted in the Appalachian dark, where grief clings to the bones of the earth and something ancient waits behind every creaking floorboard. His writing doesn’t feel invented—it feels remembered.
In the realm of fantasy and supernatural fiction, Timothy Swiney stands as a lore-keeper with a killer instinct for truth, cloaked in the language of legend.

Into the Between
Drustan believed he was Highland-born, warrior-bred, forged by blood and honor. But his past is a spellbound lie. Crafted by fae magic and sealed with a forgotten kiss, he is a living secret conjured for a purpose he never chose.
To uncover the truth, Drustan must cross into The Between a realm where memories fracture, names hold power, and every step brings him closer to the price of his own becoming.
The Queen of Shadows
The Highlands groan beneath a curse that has frozen more than the land it has silenced time itself.
To break it, Drustan must descend into a realm carved from betrayal and haunted by shadow, where memories lie, magic scars, and gods no longer sleep.
At the heart of the storm waits a queen forgotten by time… and she remembers everything.
And she’s been waiting for him.
These are not fairytales. These are faerie truths. And in the Faerieverse, truth always costs more than you expect.
Into the Between
Drustan was raised on legends but no tale prepared him for the one written in his own bones.
Chased by creatures that should not exist and haunted by echoes of a life never lived, Drustan must survive a world that twists with every step.
When an impossible truth shatters his world, he is drawn into The Between—a place stitched from memory and myth, where time coils and magic flows from the darkness. He’s running from a curse he doesn’t remember… And toward a destiny he may not survive.
And toward a destiny he may not survive.
The Queen of Shadows
The Highlands are dying. Not by war but by silence.
A curse has taken hold, seeping through the moors like breath turned to ice. Villages vanish. Time stutters. The sacred rites of Imbolc echo hollow, and deep beneath the snowdrifts, something ancient stirs.
Beira, the Divine Crone—Goddess of Winter—has waited long enough. Only The Great Hunter, Drustan, still dares the path forward. Haunted by truths he was never meant to remember, bound to fae magic he cannot fully control, he’s drawn into a realm where nothing is what it seems.
Betrayal wears familiar faces. Magic feeds on memory. And to end a dark queen’s reign, Drustan must sacrifice more than blood.
The Brollachans whisper what was lost. The fae demand more than blood. And magic, ever hungry, waits to collect its due.
Two Realms. One Fate
Complete Your
Faerieverse Collection
The journey begins, not with a map, but with a kiss.
A kiss stolen beneath faerie stars, cursed to bind a soul to a fate long buried. Into the Between opens the veil between worlds, where fractured memory, ancient magic, and a conjured warrior collide. What starts as a search for truth becomes a fight to survive a realm that forgets nothing… and forgives even less.
Then descend into the frost-bitten silence of The Queen of Shadows, where a goddess long-imprisoned stirs, and her revenge threatens to unmake time itself. As winter deepens and the rites of old fail, one hunter must face what the fae fear most: that what we forget… still remembers.
These aren’t just books. They’re living myths whispered in shadow, bound in blood, and stitched with secrets.
