SERATINTHE WORLDS WITHIN THE STORIES
Adventurers and a dog overlooking a sunlit turquoise harbor, with sailing ships, a coastal city, and distant mountains

THE FICTIONAL WORLD OF JOHN HOWE

Beyond the
last known road.

Ancient passages. Forgotten continents.
Lives connected across the ages of Seratin.

ADVENTURERS OVERLOOKING THE SUNLIT HARBOR

WELCOME TO SERATIN

A world discovered
one life at a time.

Across the surface lands, beneath the oceans and within the earth, Seratin’s peoples live with the consequences of a long and unevenly remembered past.

Begin with a journey into the unknown, a family looking for a home, or a record that refuses to agree with the accepted story. Each offers a different way into the same world.
