Khitan fantasy draws on the history and culture of the Khitan people and their Liao dynasty (907–1125), one of medieval East Asia's most sophisticated empires. A semi-nomadic people from what is now Inner Mongolia, the Khitans under Abaoji unified the steppe tribes and then conquered northern China, establishing a dual governance system — a northern administration that preserved Khitan nomadic traditions and a southern administration that ran on Chinese bureaucratic lines.
The Khitan legacy is vast: their name became “Kitai” in Russian, the root of the word for China across the Slavic world. They developed their own script, patronized Buddhism, and maintained sophisticated diplomatic relationships with the Song dynasty to the south and the steppe powers to the north. Their fall to the Jurchen Jin in 1125 set the stage for the Mongol era that followed. iWrity connects your book with the readers looking for exactly this kind of underexplored historical depth.
iWrity's reader pool includes people who have reviewed northern China historical fiction, dual-culture empire narratives, and pre-Mongol steppe fantasy. Your Khitan story reaches readers most primed to engage with and review it.
Tang dynasty and Mongolian fantasy have growing shelves. The Khitans — with their dual administration system, their Liao dynasty empire over northern China, and their fall to the Jurchen Jin — are almost entirely absent from commercial English fantasy. An early well-reviewed title becomes the category benchmark.
Because iWrity targets matched readers, your reviews come from people who chose your book for its subject matter. Their feedback tends to be substantive, specific, and persuasive to other potential buyers.
You don't need an email list or a social media following to run a successful ARC campaign. iWrity's reader base is your audience from day one, and both can grow together as your series builds.

Create Your Free AccountYes, and it is almost entirely unclaimed. The Khitan are obscure in English-language fiction despite being one of medieval East Asia's most consequential steppe powers. Their Liao dynasty (907–1125) controlled northern China for over two centuries, maintained a dual governance system that ran a Khitan nomadic administration in parallel with a Chinese bureaucratic one, and were so culturally prominent that “Khitan” became the root of the word “China” in Russian and other Slavic languages (Kitai). Authors who enter this space now will define the sub-niche.
iWrity's matching engine analyzes each reader's review history and stated genre preferences. Readers who have engaged with northern China historical fiction, semi-nomadic empire fantasy, dual-culture governance narratives, and pre-Mongol steppe politics are prioritized for your campaign. These readers appreciate the Khitan's remarkable cultural balancing act — maintaining nomadic identity while administering a Chinese-style empire — and they leave detailed reviews that convert browsers into buyers.
Most authors collect between 10 and 40 verified reviews per campaign over a 4 to 6 week window. The exact number depends on your campaign size and how closely your book matches reader preferences. Khitan fantasy tends to attract engaged readers because the setting is a genuine gap in commercial fiction — a rich, consequential empire almost entirely absent from English fantasy shelves.
