Intro

Nosy Science is first and foremost to act as a bridge into the realms of science. We explore the underlying causes for topics such as longevity, organization, focus or knowledge, but we don’t stop just there. On occasion we also string stories around it.
Where science explores how systems hold the world together, fiction asks what happens when those systems change or even fail.

I’ve just released a short story that captures such a moment: G’var Fedau —raw, tragic, and built on the bones of broken order

You can find it on Amazon and to kick things off, I’m running a limited-time promotion.

Get it for free from 24.07.2025 to 28.07.2025.

A Look into G’Var Fedau

The Nitty Gritty

“G’var fedau,” they say in the frozen north — life isn’t fair.

When Brejack witnesses his family slaughtered, he’s left with nothing but rage. What follows is a mission of vengeance that leads him deep behind enemy lines, and deeper into his own darkness.

The story is a gritty, emotional coming-of-age tale, steeped in betrayal, survival, and the raw magic of a world on the brink. It’s part of my larger Souls & Demons setting, but stands completely on its own.

A feast for worldbuilding connoisseurs

For readers who love to dig deeper, there’s an optional glossary at the end of the book. It expands on concepts like vaelor, weaving, sepping, and the different planes that define this world. Totally optional, the story works without it, but it’s there if you want more.

Who is it for?

Fans of authors like Joe Abercrombie, Robin Hobb, or Mark Lawrence
Readers who love revenge arcs, survival fantasy, and deep emotional stakes
Anyone curious about new indie fantasy worlds that don’t hold your hand

Outro
