Richard Heinz's inspiration for The Seventh Age traces back to his history as an electrician and especially to his love of crawling through the hidden underbelly of a city to uncover its secret wonders-not to mention countless caffeine-driven hours spent playing Diablo. The Seventh Age: Dawn is Rick's first book, as well as book one in the sprawling urban fantasy epic the Seventh Age series. He's since written many other projects both in tabletop gaming and literary form such as The Crow: Prayers of the Past, The Red Opera: Last Days of the Warlock, Sirens: Battle of the Bards, and The Black Ballad.
