Adventurers are coming, and they will do anything to steal the dungeon’s power…

Since awakening to his new life, Smit has hardly had a moment of rest. Goblins, ogres, and adventurers all seem to be attracted to him like flies to honey. Smit and his monstrous children only wanted to live out their days in peace, but now that his existence has been revealed to humanity, all eyes have fallen on the Dungeon of Origins.

Every noble in the kingdom has hired a team of adventurers to secure Smit’s core, guaranteeing both a victory against their political rivals and their rule over him. This time, he cannot run away from the encroaching greedy and power-hungry nobles and ambitious men – his new family depends on him. Time is running out to save his dungeon. Can Smit grow his power fast enough, or will he and his children be enslaved forever?

David Sanchez-Ponton

David Sanchez-Ponton is a writer whose stories are as layered and complex as his journey to becoming an author. A geologist and hydrologist by training, David’s fascination with the natural world—its intricacies, mysteries, and unexpected wonders—has deeply influenced his writing. Originally from Canada, David’s passion for fantasy, science fiction, and cultivation stories stretches back to his youth, when he discovered the transformative power of books. His expertise in hydrology, paired with a mind steeped in a thousand diverse stories, gives his work a unique depth, blending the logic of science with the freedom of imagination.

David's debut series, Dungeon Heart, began with The Singing Mountain in 2020. It quickly drew attention with its imaginative world-building and its fresh take on the LitRPG and cultivation genres. His works aren’t just about magical realms or the heroes who conquer them—they're about exploring the human condition within these extraordinary landscapes. Each story is a puzzle, a challenge for the reader to piece together, reflecting the complexity of his own mind. The Dungeon Heart series is now a five-book saga, with Halls of Stone, Hell Gate, Tremors, and Chain Breaker following in quick succession, each installment building on the last to create a richly textured world that lingers long after the pages are turned.

In addition to his work in the Dungeon Heart series, David is already looking to the future. His upcoming project, The Three Sisters' Mirror, promises to take readers into new, unexplored realms—ones that tackle powerful themes like colonialism and imperialism. As an author, David continues to evolve, embracing new storytelling challenges and keeping his readers on the edge of their seats.

Though he’s only begun to make his mark in the world of speculative fiction, David’s voice is already a distinct one, filled with both intellectual rigor and a boundless creative spirit. When not writing, he can be found diving into his other passions, perhaps contemplating the next world he’ll create—or the next riddle he’ll solve. David’s journey is just beginning, and it promises to be as unpredictable and thrilling as the stories he weaves.

Dungeon Heart

In the Dungeon Heart series, David Sanchez-Ponton crafts a world where the boundaries of reality and magic blur, drawing readers into a labyrinth of adventure, strategy, and self-discovery. The journey begins with The Singing Mountain, where the protagonist embarks on a quest that will test their resilience, intellect, and ability to adapt. But this is no ordinary adventure—this is a world where the stakes are high, and the labyrinth itself seems alive, shifting and evolving with every move.

What sets Dungeon Heart apart is its seamless blending of the LitRPG and cultivation genres, creating a rich narrative that is as intellectually stimulating as it is thrilling. Readers are invited not just to follow a hero's journey, but to explore the deeper themes of power, growth, and transformation. The protagonist’s evolution isn’t just about physical strength but also the mental and spiritual challenges they face along the way.

The world-building is intricate, drawing inspiration from Sanchez-Ponton’s own scientific background, making the magical systems and the universe feel both fantastical and grounded. As the series progresses through its sequels—Halls of Stone, Hell Gate, Tremors, and Chain Breaker—the complexity of the world deepens. Each book unravels more secrets, introduces fresh conflicts, and explores new aspects of the protagonist’s journey, keeping readers on their toes.

For fans of expansive worlds, intricate plots, and protagonists who are as flawed as they are compelling, Dungeon Heart offers an immersive experience. It’s not just about the thrill of the adventure; it’s about the personal growth that comes with every trial. This is a series that rewards patience and introspection, where every victory is earned, and every setback fuels the quest to uncover what lies beyond the next corner of the dungeon.
