About Ryan Shriver, the Author
Writing has always been a passion of mine, something I’ve done simply because I love creating worlds and stories that mean something. The Twin Stones is my first published book, released in November 2025, and marks the beginning of The World Walkers Chronicles. The second book is already in progress and is expected to be released before the end of December.

As a hobby writer, my goal isn’t to make much money. If I had to choose between making money and having more people read my work, I’d select readers every time. Because of this, I'll always have my books listed for as little as possible. I believe stories are meant to be shared, and I hope you enjoy this one as much as I’ve enjoyed bringing it to life.
The Twin Stones
Book One of the World Walkers Chronicles
In the Hollow Realm, where ancient stones awaken hidden powers, thirteen-year-old Finn and fifteen-year-old Cass stumble into a destiny they never sought. Haunted by loss and driven by survival, they flee a crumbling kingdom, uncovering forgotten prophecies, awakening rare abilities, and facing dark forces rising from the shadows.
As kingdoms stir in reaction to their awakening, Finn and Cass must decide not only how to wield their powers, but whom they can trust with the truth.
The Twin Stones is the first book in The World Walkers Chronicles, an epic tale of friendship, courage, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
New Horizons
Book Two of the World Walkers Chronicles
Finn and Cass are no longer ordinary orphans. After surviving the Awakening Circle and uncovering the truth of the prophecy, they find themselves drawn deeper into a world where every kingdom either fears them, wants to control them, or wants them dead.
Their powers grow quickly as they wait for the one-year mark that will send them back to the mausoleum to claim their second gift from the distant past. Finn learns to shape his gravity well in ways he never imagined, while Cass forms crystalline shields strong enough to stand against every elemental magic type. But growing power brings growing danger. Rumors spread. Spies follow their every move. Across the realm, the Dark Circle stirs again.
Searching for answers, the two teens study under master mages, yet even the academy at Stonehollow soon struggles to challenge them. Their bond deepens as they learn what it means to protect each other when the price is steep. Meanwhile, new threats rise from both the Dark Circle and the Death Cult, forces willing to burn entire cities to capture them. As their abilities sharpen, Finn and Cass finally uncover the truth of what their powers are for and what it means to be World Walkers.
New Horizons continues the saga of the World Walker Chronicles with higher stakes, deeper magic, dangerous enemies, and the first real glimpse of hope for the Hollow Realm.
