A fantastical realm
created by two non-binary authors,
where magic demands a heavy toll,
queerness blooms,
and gender is expansive.
The Mission
Our stories are rich with queer characters and centered on capturing the beauty and weight of transmagic. We believe that diverse storytelling leads to luminous new ideas and we seek to explore the gifts and wonder of the LGBTQIA+ community.
We work with local queer artists to create our covers, or we draw and write everything ourselves. No AI here, ever.
We are building a new world where prophecies grow like tumours and spells can burn bones to dust... and we want you to come along for the ride.
By signing up for the Marrowlands Newsletter, you'll get to build magic alongside us.
Trans-Led. Queer Fantasy. The Stories We Needed.

A forbidden wish.
A stolen power.
A trans teen that will upend the realm.
17-YO Harri Grey doesn’t feel like a daughter. Rather, he burns to work alongside his brothers at the family smithery, especially when the king himself demands a powerful new sword. With the weapon to be forged with the ore of a captured star, Harry risks everything to steal the rare celestial magic and rewrite his fate.
Now a criminal on the run from the King’s Guard, Harri wrestles to control his newfound power and escape his occupied hometown. But with his family at risk of ruin or worse, Harri refuses to back down from a fight that will change his realm forever.
Can a trans teen master a cosmic force before it destroys all that he loves?
Starforged is a magical adventure of becoming, set in the Marrowlands. If you love queer rebellion, dazzling spells, and a touch of romance, then you’ll devour Marcel Liemant’s luminous tale.
