Ships at launch (June 2026).
Praised for its mythic prose and layered mysteries. The Forbidden Spire carries that same lyrical tone.
Famed for its sprawling, immersive world and the sense that every corner hides a story. The Forbidden Spire shares that same “step through the page” world-building—but won’t take you 100 pages to get going.
Known for deeply emotional, character-driven storytelling. Like Fitz, my characters wrestle with love, loyalty, and impossible choices.
Celebrated for weaving multiple POVs into one vast epic. My story follows six central characters whose paths collide in unexpected ways.
Loved for its wit, intrigue, and found-family dynamics. If you enjoy clever banter and dangerous games, you’ll find plenty in The Forbidden Spire.
Renowned for its dragons and intricate political landscapes. Both our worlds balance ancient magic with the weight of destiny.
Cherished for its warmth and quiet moments of connection. My book has its epic battles, but also the quieter beats that make the big moments matter.
A love letter to classic fantasy with a modern edge. The Forbidden Spire shares its sense of adventure—but turns the hero’s journey inside out.
Blends dragons, magic, and technology. Like my world of Necsis, it explores what happens when power meets invention—but with an entirely original magic system.
Stands out for its unique world and moral complexity. My characters, too, must navigate a world where every choice has a price.
The full set of three launch edition Necsis bookmarks, featuring gorgeous artwork from the world–each signed by the author in metallic ink.
These 15 bookmarks (3 in each style) are unsigned, ready for you to share with your fantasy-loving friends.
The short story prequel to The Forbidden Spire. Set years before the events of the book, it tells the tale of a mother’s impossible decision, and the beginning of a friendship that would reshape the world.
There’s NO purchase necessary to enter.
You can also get additional entries by sharing the giveaway with fellow lovers of fantasy, science fantasy, world-building, and characters that make bad decisions for good reasons.

I’m Matthew Yetter, author of The Forbidden Spire. I’ve been building the world of Necsis for nearly 40 years — waiting until my craft, my voice, and my life experience could do it justice.
I didn’t just want a lived-in world or an epic plot. I wanted characters who feel real — people whose choices matter, whose mistakes have consequences, and whose triumphs feel earned.
Book One is complete, edited, and set for release in June 2026, with Book Two following less than a year later. I’m committed to fast releases, so you never have to wait years between installments. And I've broken the series into three chunks so you don't have to go a decade before some sort of resolution.
Self-publishing gives me that freedom — but it also means I don’t have a big publishing house pushing my books into the spotlight. That’s why I’m doing this giveaway. If you love the books I’ve selected here, I’m confident you’ll love The Forbidden Spire… and the 9 more books to come in The Infinite Saga.
When you enter, you’ll also get my monthly newsletter, the prequel short story The Gnome and the Madman, and behind-the-scenes content. And if you want to go deeper, you can apply to join my beta reader team, helping shape the saga as it unfolds.
