About the Author

Eladora Seven is the pen name of a retired international archaeologist whose work carried them across four continents in search of the world’s oldest stories. From desert ruins to ocean sanctuaries, their career traced the faint seam between human memory and myth—and it is along that same seam that Finnoola was born.

Finnoola is not history retold, but myth reborn—an imagined remembrance of what might have been if the old gods had never left. Its storyteller speaks from the edge between memory and invention, shaping a world from what was lost and what was only dreamed.

“The past is not silent. It waits in the soil and in our dreams. Finnoola is my way of listening.”

Roots in Scholarship

Before turning to fiction, Eladora spent many years in archaeology and heritage research, specializing in the ritual and symbolic life of ancient cultures. The discipline’s precision—and its reverence for what endures—continue to shape their storytelling. What once took the form of excavation and analysis now becomes an act of creative remembrance.

The Turn to Story

Through Finnoola, they continue to explore the boundary where knowledge gives way to wonder. Each chapter is rooted in the textures of the real world—stone, shadow, memory—but grows toward the mythic, into the realm of what should have been remembered. The voice guiding the tale is not Eladora’s own, but that of the trickster who remembers: Loki, reborn as Luka.

New chapters of Finnoola appear regularly, accompanied by lore essays and reflections on the myths that inspired them. The story unfolds as myths once did—slowly, layer by layer, in conversation with those who listen.
