Hey you! I'm super excited to share with you my new fantasy series, "Heirs of the Forgotten Legacy"! This is Book 1 of a trilogy, and each book will have about 25-30 chapters packed with adventure.
I began working on a similar project over 11 years ago but never finished it. So, I took all those ideas and spent a lot of time building a massive world filled with deep lore and interesting characters. I even mapped out the entire story for all three books from start to finish!
If you love fantasy, this series draws inspiration from A Song of Ice and Fire and the D&D universe, but it's got plenty of my ideas mixed in. You'll find themes of hope, adventure, family, betrayal, and tragedy woven throughout the story.
If this sounds like your thing, I invite you to check it out and provide feedback! I can't wait for you to dive into this journey with me!

With his noble house crumbling and his kin cast into servitude, Dreyton and his surviving companions fight against the chains of captivity on a desolate volcanic isle.

(Book 1) - Phoenix Blood:
The air has been filled with blood and war is on the point of breaking out. Family feuds have found themselves renewed and banished enemies prepare to take their vengeance from the shadows. Current leaders grow tired of their thrones and the time approaches for them to choice their successors. An ancient bloodline of guardians uneasily wait for the successors to be chosen with baited breath. A young woman by the name of Taylor has been dragged from her ordinary life into a world that is just beneath the surface of the one she knows. Her body and mind having been physically altered bringing forth new challenges for her to get through. Many questions remain. Will she survive the family feud she's been drawn into or will it consume her leaving nothing of her left? Will she find herself fixing a family that has been broken way before she was even born? Will her newly required thirst for blood devour the kind soul she has always been? Will she gain new friends on her way to control the abilities she has aquired from her transformation? Will she ever see her family again? Could she possibly find a love along the way that could heal her shattered heart making her stronger than she ever thought it possible for her to be? This book has been my pet project for years and I will not appreciate it if anyone trys stealing my work considering how I have all of the rough drafts written down on paper. I would be very angry in fact. Any drawings that might be shown will be mine. The book title came together with the help of my older brother who is quite good with titles while I am not great at figuring out book titles but am good at writing stories and chapter titles. The book title may be added on to in the future but only time will determine that. This is the first book of the series. Once again I would like to remind everyone the story is ALL MINE. To all my devoted readers it is my hope that all of you will enjoy my story.
Game Of Thrones: The Song
Maybe the gods were not finished with House Targaryen. Or perhaps they simply wished for a louder scream when the song began anew. Viserys and Daenys Targaryen entered the world sharing one heartbeat-two halves of the same Valyrian coin. Years later came Daenerys, small enough to rest within their joined palms, and from the moment they held her, the twins swore no exile, no king, and no merchant prince would ever break them again. But dragons remember debts that blood alone cannot pay. When the first egg cracks beneath a bleeding star, it is Daenerys who hears the future, Viserys who commands the fire, and Daenys who must decide which sibling's dream will survive. One throne. Three heads of a single, fractured destiny. And an oath forged in childhood: We burn together, or not at all. Long after the fall of dragons, Westeros forgot how to fear the Targaryens. It is about to learn again-at the hands of three heirs raised in exile, armed with prophecy, and incapable of mercy.
Slave To The Lycan King
On the night she was meant to be cherished, she was destroyed. Betrayed by her fated mate, the heir to her pack is left broken-stabbed, rejected, and sentenced to burn by the very man destiny had chosen for her. Her wolf silenced, her soul shattered, she's cast into a merciless world, stripped of power and identity. But fate isn't finished with her yet. Dragged from death's grip, she awakens in chains-no longer a bride, but a slave in the cold, brutal court of the Lycan King. A man feared by all. Ruthless. Untamed. Teetering on the edge of madness. He doesn't ask-he claims. And he swears she belongs to him. To his beast. Now bound to a king whose darkness rivals the pain she carries, she must navigate a world of dominance and power, where every touch burns, every glance pierces, and every secret has claws But beneath the violence and shadows, a far more dangerous truth begins to awaken-one that neither of them can escape. In the end, the most savage love is born in the heart of a storm.Complete
Crave ✔
Copyrighted 2017 *Completed* *This story was written a long time and needs to undergo intense editing--working on it!* He was said to be powerful, the most powerful of them all. A king of kings- a dark king. Complete control. He needed it- thrived on it. He was power, he was dark, and he was beautiful. They say he was a descendant of the first wolves- of shapeshifters so fierce they could kill with barely a glance. He was respected, revered. Feared. The King of the North. And we were the idiots sneaking into his territory. *Not your typical werewolf book* --please reframe from hateful comments directed at me or other readers who enjoy the story. *This book has no sexually mature scenes and is PG-13* *This book has nothing to do with The Game of Thrones, and is not a fanfic of any kind*Complete
A Shadow of Fire
A Tale of Blood, Betrayal, and the Rise of a Forgotten Heir The whispers of the past are not so easily silenced. Daenys Pyre was born in the shadows-a Targaryen bastard, raised in the back alleys of Pentos, unaware of the blood that burned in her veins. She lived as the daughter of a courtesan, far from the power and glory of the Seven Kingdoms, until a single truth shattered her world: she is the daughter of King Rhaegar Targaryen, the lost heir to a stolen birthright. Hunted by those who would see her erased, Daenys flees across the Narrow Sea, seeking refuge in the land her father once ruled. But Westeros is not the homecoming she imagined. The Iron Throne is not hers to claim. It belongs to her half-brother, Prince Daeron II, the firstborn son, the king who should have been her greatest ally-but now stands as her greatest rival. The court of King's Landing is a nest of vipers, ruled by the cunning and ruthless Queen Mother, Alicent Hightower. And in the shadows, her enemies plot her downfall-Prince Aerion Targaryen, her uncle, a man with a hunger for power, and the lords who would see her blood spilled before she could ever rise. But Daenys is not alone. The Velaryons, the Baratheons, the Tyrells, and the forgotten loyalists of her father's reign begin to whisper her name. And as she steps onto the path of war, a secret buried in her past threatens to reshape the very fate of the realm. A dragon does not beg. A dragon does not kneel. And when fire and blood call her name, Daenys will answer.Complete
The Convert Queen: Prophecy Fulfilled
* ONC 2023 Shortlister * "She caught the eye of one of the horsemen, and something in his face caused her to pause mid-step. The man he was standing with, realising he was being ignored, turned to see what he was staring at, and his mouth fell open. 'Arner! The prophecy!' he hissed. That seemed to attract the attention of the whole party, and before Aleyna knew what had occurred, they had all stopped what they were doing, and stared openly at her, before tilting their head in her direction, bowing. The last of the men to lower his head, the one who had first spotted her, was now biting his lip, something like worry creasing his brow, before he too bowed." * * * Aleyna, a professor at Lyknisia's Academika, is from a world of science and reason. To her, magic is something found in children's stories. It's not real, has never been real, and never will be real, and nothing anyone can say will change her mind. Arnerstrom, known as Arner, is King of Mynythia. He is from a world of magic and spirits. A world where the unseen is just as powerful as the known, and where prophecy dictates almost everything. But when a prophecy appears to be fulfilled by chance, Aleyna is whisked away from her books at the behest of Arnerstrom, and taken to a land of mystery and secrets. A land where magic is very real and spirits govern all. Set in the same world as The Winter Ghost, but located many kingdoms apart, The Convert Queen is a fantasy romance novella where what you see isn't always what you need to know.Complete
Rivers of Light
It began with a king who lost his queen, and found visions instead. Umos Talos crowned himself Emperor, claiming descent from the forgotten Aumenors. His visions split the realm, birthing two banners: the Anointed, armed with machines and prophecy, and the Concord, sworn to resist by council and vote. From besieged cities and starving families, to merchants caught between profit and ruin, to lords defending old blood-feuds turned holy war, every voice tells a piece of the empire's unraveling. This is not a tale of heroes, but of survivors: soldiers choking on smoke, widows burying husbands in mud, lords forced into rebellion. War spreads. Old feuds ignite. And beneath it all, whispers return of the Aumenors - the ones who once "walked the deep sky." I tried experimenting with a GRRM-style book using multiple POVs and chapters, but honestly I shat myself as it's just too much. If this little draft (about 24k words so far) has already overwhelmed me I can only imagine what GRRM is going through with The Winds of Winter. If this ends up rated highly (I've never used Wattpad, so I'm not even sure how that works) I might continue. Please share your feedback.
