Raymond E. Feist
In a genre where worlds are often born from maps and ancient bloodlines, Raymond E. Feist did something different—he began with a game. What started as a Dungeons & Dragons-style campaign with friends at the University of California, San Diego eventually evolved into Midkemia, a richly imagined realm that would become the backdrop for one of epic fantasy’s most enduring sagas. But it wasn’t just the magic, battles, or sprawling kingdoms that drew readers in—it was Feist’s uncanny ability to make the fate of the world hinge on the journey of a kitchen boy named Pug.
