Welcome to Airdaeya

Step into a universe of boundless adventure, ancient secrets, and epic destinies. The Tales of Airdaeya Chronicles are the living heart of a new fantasy universe, a tapestry of interconnected sagas woven across multiple worlds, where magic, mystery, and memorable characters collide.

I’m K.T. Pike, and I’ve spent years building a universe where the ordinary can become extraordinary, and where the past always holds the key to the future. From adult epic fantasy to thrilling children’s mysteries, my stories are crafted to transport you to worlds of wonder and peril, and introduce you to characters you won’t soon forget.

Discover the World of Oram

The primary saga of the Tales of Airdaeya chronicles unfolds on the planet of Oram. Illuminated by three moons, this vibrant world is home to a rich mosaic of peoples—from the noble elves and steadfast dwarfs to the enigmatic danaash and the courageous abandi. Across one vast continent split by twin mountain ranges, a legacy spanning nearly 15,000 years waits to be discovered.

Begin Your Adventure

Whether you seek the high stakes of epic quests or the thrill of a good mystery, your journey through Oram begins here.

The Drakkaen Nakkla

Unearth a lost birthright tied to the World Burn War in this adult epic fantasy series. Journey with estranged twins, a silent monk, a fierce dwarf, and a party of adventurers as they unravel a shared history that could save their world—or shatter it.

The Valore Mysteries

Step back in time to meet a young Qrow (from The Drakkaen Nakkla) and his abandi friend Talim. In this children’s mystery series, the two orphans must use their wits to solve ghostly mysteries and face dangers in their peculiar town.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you’ll find a home in the Tales of Airdaeya.

Such wonderful worldbuilding

The worldbuilding in this book is just fantastic. There are a lot of magic spells and fun magical items, several interesting new species, monsters, festivals, and neat customs.

There are secrets, mysteries, treasures, battles, and assassinations.

This book is all about found family, in more ways than one. I loved watching the group grow as more characters joined. Nicely balanced dynamics.

There are just enough plot strings left for the rest of the series. Can’t wait to read the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars 

Book was a hit for me.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2026

I bought this book at a local author fair expecting a “local author” level of book. I was most pleasantly surprised and am anxiously awaiting Book 2. I enjoyed the characters, their interactions, and the mystery threaded into the story.
