Morven T.H. Borthwick

Epic Fantasy Author | Ancient myths, fractured kingdoms, and the cost of holding back the dark | Diaspora writer

[Morven T.H. Borthwick @MorvenBorthwick]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A 5-Star Readers’ Favorite Review

The Throne of Deep Roots — Book Two of The Command of the Worldhold.

“Morven T.H. Borthwick is just as gifted in creating characters of mythic stature who are still somehow reachable. The writing is formal, archaic, and well suited to the story.”

— S. Mathur, Readers’ Favorite

For readers who love slow-burning journeys, ancient powers, deep histories, and worlds that reveal themselves one road at a time.

A crown may pass from one ruler to another. A kingdom may forget the names of those who once held it.

But blood remembers.

THE BLOOD THAT REMAINS
Book One of The Reckoning of Crowns

A new tale of traditional epic fantasy.

Coming soon.

History has left some deep wounds across these islands, but I am not sure breaking up the UK is necessarily the answer. Perhaps a better path is a reformed UK,with greater self-government and a union held together by consent rather than history alone. In the end, unity means far more when people freely choose it.

Why do so many Zimbabweans find it difficult to help a Zimbabwean family in distress by simply reposting an appeal that does not cost them a penny?

If I post some stupid stuff on this page, it can get 3000 reposts. People will eagerly share nonsense, circulate gossip and spend hours arguing. Yet when a family asks us to help find their missing loved one, suddenly pressing the same share button becomes difficult.

This post has received 14,000 views, but only 214 shares, according to the latest count. A desperate family is asking us to help their appeal reach someone who might recognise this young man or know where he is.

They are not asking us for money. They are asking us to care enough to share.

Please stop for a moment and imagine that this is your child, your brother or someone you love. Imagine going to bed without knowing whether he has eaten, whether he is safe, whether he is hurt or whether he has somewhere to sleep. Imagine your phone ringing and being frightened of what you might hear, while desperately hoping that somebody has finally found him.

Then imagine discovering that thousands of people have seen your appeal, but very few have passed it on.

How would that make you feel?

Does this indifference not tell us something painful about the mindset that has helped turn Zimbabwe into the shithole we complain about? Does it not bring us back, yet again, to Dr Solomon Guramatunhu’s assertion that ZANUPF is a reflection of the people it leads?

We rightly demand a government that values human life. But that demand must also be reflected in how we treat one another. We cannot complain about leaders ignoring our suffering while casually scrolling past a distressed family asking for a few seconds of our time.

Our country’s problems cannot all be explained by the number of people who share a Twitter post. But our willingness to respond to another person’s distress says something about the society we are building. A country struggles to change when too many people regard another family’s pain as somebody else’s business.

I honestly struggle to understand how entertainment can move us to act so quickly, while an appeal for a missing person barely moves us at all.

To those who have shared this appeal, thank you. You have helped it reach further. One of those shares could put his photograph in front of someone with information.

Please help this family find Micheal Tiwande Mushanduri, whose appeal says he was last seen on 4 September 2026. If you have information, contact 0772246558 or 0715771946.

Share the original appeal so that his photograph and the contact details travel together.

Somewhere, a family is waiting for news of someone they love. Please do not wait until it is your family to understand why this matters.

One of the ideas in Tolkien that has always stayed with me is Gandalf’s wisdom about how we use the time and circumstances given to us.

That thought influenced my own writing, especially Book 3 of The Command of the Worldhold: characters cannot choose the age they inherit or the burdens that find them - only what they do when their moment comes.

What has influenced your writing?
