Poldark meets Gladiator…on another world!

Fans of the new epic fantasy series, The Nessemiah, have been in raptures about it, frequently comparing it to A Song of Ice and Fire.

However, what no one knew until now was that The Nessemiah’s home world of Thera kept many hundreds of secrets! Not secrets relating to the plot, but secrets that can be taken out of the context of the series and puzzled over in this unique and quirky history-cum-geography-related reference book. Secrets that took years of patience to hide away in a four-book epic fantasy series!

Hidden, that is, until April 2026, when a Goodreads reviewer worked it out:

And there they have it – albeit the very tip of the iceberg. For not only are there hundreds of place name anagrams to decode, but many coastlines are duplicates of Earth-based counterparts, albeit all mixed up; many characters have names that are anagrams of famous people from history; and there is much more off the wall stuff besides. It’s all there waiting for you to unravel in Decoding the Hidden World of Thera!
