Legend of Alinen

Book 1: Lamella City
By M. R. Malkki

A throne at stake. A kingdom divided. A bond forbidden.

Welcome to Lamellikaupunki — a city suspended between ancient magic and crumbling power, where alliances shift like smoke and trust is a luxury no one can afford. In the cracks between upper and lower realms, Ylinen and Alinen, secrets linger... and some are waking.

When fate forces together a sharp-tongued outsider and a brooding Crown, their clash sparks more than political unrest. As war looms and enemies rise from within, every choice carries the weight of history — and the pull of something far more dangerous than magic: love.

But in this realm, even love has consequences. Book 1, Lamella City, is the start of a sweeping Finnish-inspired fantasy saga that blends palace intrigue, forbidden romance, and ancient prophecy.

If you crave fantasy with emotional depth, enemies-to-allies tension, and high-stakes twists where nothing stays buried for long — this journey is for you.

And just wait for Book 2. That’s when everything burns.

The Legend of Alinen begins…

-About the Author -

and imagination

M. R. Malkki is a multi-genre author from Finland whose work drifts – and occasionally stampedes – across satire, short fiction, fable, dystopia and essay. Whether the setting is a mud-soaked village, a post-apocalyptic boardroom or a surreal city square, her writing stays true to a core focus: to reveal the hilarious, haunting or quietly horrifying systems we live in.

With a background in both observation and invention, M. R. Malkki crafts stories that are often too absurd to be fiction – and too true to be ignored.

When not writing, M. R. Malkki may be seen scribbling margins, avoiding meetings or suspiciously eyeing public development projects.
