About Phantom Ink Press

 

Founded in 20016 by Noelle Nichols, Phantom Ink Press is a publishing house that produces hopeful, inspiring stories, featuring characters who forge new paths to make the world a better place.

Written to counter mainstream fantasy, noble heroes fight for justice with honor, the world is filled with hope, and characters think deeply of the world, staying true to the great samurai Miyamoto Musashi's teachings.

"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world." - Miyamoto Musashi

Many stories are inspired by eastern storytelling, specifically Iyashikei, where the story highlights character development, heart-warming tales, and moments of ma (appreciating the small moments in life, or the breath between them). 

Shadow's Hand, the first book published in July 2016, is the beginning of the ongoing Shadow's Creed Saga series. A second version of Shadow's Hand was later republished in 2022, with rebranded covers, better capturing the tone and spirit of the series.
