Brian McClellan is an American fantasy author known for his Powder Mage trilogy, which pioneered the "flintlock fantasy" subgenre by combining epic fantasy with an industrial-era, gunpowder-based magic system. The trilogy — Promise of Blood, The Crimson Campaign, and The Autumn Republic — is set during a military coup inspired by the French Revolution and features a rich cast of soldiers, mages, and political schemers. McClellan studied under Brandon Sanderson at Brigham Young University and has built a reputation for intricate magic systems and action-packed storytelling. His audiobooks and books are hugely popular with fantasy fans who enjoy innovative worldbuilding and military fantasy.
