M.G. Darwish is a Bahraini-born author of dark epic fantasy and gritty thrillers, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He writes the completed Titanlord saga and the Fortier vampire series, which won Best Vampire Novel at the 2024 Global Book Awards. His stories test power, its price, and the vows people break.

He believes discipline beats motivation, and that authors should be paid for their work, never pay to be published.

Long bio

about 180 words

M.G. Darwish is a Bahraini-born author of dark epic fantasy and gritty thrillers, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He writes worlds that rise, crack and demand hard choices: stories that test power, its price, and the vows people break. He started writing at eight, imagining other endings to books and films, and still collects sparks from glitchy video games, stray headlines and overheard lies, following the chain of cause and effect to its brutal conclusion. Titanlord, his completed four-volume dark epic fantasy saga, began with a dungeon raid in the game Aion that went wrong. His Fortier vampire series follows Alfred Zeidan, the strongest vampire alive; its second book, The Long Night: Blood Will Be Served, won Best Vampire Novel at the 2024 Global Book Awards. He has published 13 books and short works since 2015, independently, under the banner Infrangilis, Latin for “unbreakable”, and treats his author career like a startup. He lives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
