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!

(Disclaimer: I utilized AI to assist with brainstorming, proofreading, revising, and selecting images.)

Summary: 
In the enchanting realm of Valyndra, where noble houses once flourished amidst lush fields, a shadow looms over the horizon. Dreyton Oreacher, a fallen low lord, stands amid the ruins of a civil war that ravaged the kingdom of Eldoria, unraveling the very fabric of his family and home. 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.

Yet within the shadows, whispers of an ancient magical rune promise a chance for redemption. Dreyton must navigate a treacherous landscape, forge fragile alliances, and confront ruthless foes who covet power above all else.

With his family's fate hanging in the balance, Dreyton's mission becomes a desperate race against time. Will he awaken the legacy within him, or will ambition's storm consume all he holds dear?

In Awakening of Shadows, embark on a saga of betrayal, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of those who defy the encroaching darkness.All Rights Reserved

A Day of Sorrow, The Tales of Old by FreeReinVikings

A day like any other, turned to blood and misery in the blink of an eye. The soul devourers had been withheld for thousands of years, the residents beyond Riverin's walls growing comfortable. Their ignorance could be their downfall as everything crumbles. Even the veterans aren't prepared for an assault, underestimating their opponent. Carnade, born to another land, has found a home in Riverin. He's always known how great a threat the devourers were, but he never thought their first strike would be Riverin. Now he has to choose between protecting his family or the people he swore himself to. Derosai was born and raised in Riverin, dedicating her life to abolishing the soul devourer race from the face of Alatine. Everything she worked toward. Everything her and her husband planned could be torn away. Her husband believes their son to be the key to ending the devourer blight and if he perishes, there won't be anyone to stop the second dark war. Alithium was born to another world, frozen and far from Riverin. Unlikely events destroy everything she holds dear, tearing her away from the only home she's ever known by thrusting her into a foreign land. One of heat and despair. She soon finds out how unwelcoming man can be, taken into a city on the brink of destruction. Her only goal is to escape. Their problems, man or devourer... it didn't concern her. Their faces, all the death, and all the screams. I can still see and hear them to this day - Crow Akroth This is A Day of Sorrow, By Dominik Sorensen.

The Convert Queen: Prophecy Fulfilled by sammiscribbles

* 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.

Trials and Tribulations of the Oathkeeper by DeadlyMaelstrom

A natural-born prodigy, his intellect and swordsmanship skills are among one of the best despite his youth. But to make it through the game of thrones alive, one must be ready to navigate through dangerous waters. The difficult challenge, however, is to do it without compromising your own ideals. Known far and wide throughout the Seven Kingdoms for his famous reputation as "the Oathkeeper", how will the Young Stag's presence affect the game of thrones? *Disclaimer*: I do not own any of the Game of Thrones characters in the story or from George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels. Only the OCs included are mine. Main storyline takes place 17 years after Robert's Rebellion. A few tidbits are included from the Song of Ice and Fire novels, but the rest is primarily from the HBO TV series.

Fireborn by lillianawayne99

Valaena Fireborn of House Targaryen has been in exile her entire life. Robert's Rebellion twenty years ago forced her and her siblings out of their home to Essos. Valaena was sold to Khal Drogo as his wife so her brother could use her husband's army to retake their father's throne. Suffice it to say, Viserys didn't get his end of the bargain. After a life in exile with one objective in mind, Valaena is headed home. While in Westeros learning about the culture of her homeland and making alliances, Valaena meets three men who will change her life forever. Jon Snow, the stoic King in the North. Tormund Giantsbane, the fearsome wildling. Oberyn Martell, the red viper of Dorne. *This is abandoned, the rest is on my Tumblr* Warning: This book is not fit for younger viewers due to the sexual scenes, violence, and language it contains. There are massive spoilers in this fanfic. It takes place after the Battle of the Bastards in Season 6 of "Game of Thrones". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "He watches you in wonder and awe. Don't you want a husband that would do anything for you, like Khal Drogo?" Kovarro smirked down at me, like he believed he was helping me by attempting to convince me to marry Jon. Rather, he had pushed me too far. I grabbed his tunic and forced him to lean backwards over the waist high rafters, staring down at him with vehemence. "I will never try to replace Drogo. I got my vengeance, but I can never see my family again. The only thing I have left of them is my memories and Haggo's bells in my hair." I roughly shoved him into the rafters, ensuring the wood dug into his back, before letting him go and stepping away from him.

DRAKONIS: Rise Of The Fallen by RockyTyler

On the island kingdom of Wynther, where emerald forests meet snow-capped mountains and sparkling seas, a powerful legacy once thrived-one born of dragons and the ancient bloodline that could control them. For centuries, the kingdom flourished under the rule of King Eryndor Wynmire, a wise and noble leader, and his queen, Ellara. Their reign was marked by peace, prosperity, and an unbreakable bond with the dragons who once roamed freely in the skies above. But that peace was shattered when Draeven Malvoryx, a dark and ambitious warlord, sought to seize the ancient power hidden within the bloodline of the Wynmire family. Driven by his lust for control over the dragons, Draeven launched a brutal attack, killing the king, conquering the land, and imprisoning Queen Ellara. The people of Wynther were left broken, their homes razed, their hearts crushed beneath the weight of defeat. The kingdom's greatest hope, Ardyn Wynmire, the king's only son, was presumed dead in the chaos of the war-his body lost to the flames of battle. But fate had other plans. Saved by a skilled archer, Kaela Sylvanhart, Ardyn lives, though broken and haunted by the loss of his family and the fall of his kingdom. Yet within him lies a secret-a power that, if awakened, could change the tide of war: the ability to call upon the dragons, a power passed down through his bloodline for generations. However, that power is dormant, and Ardyn struggles to awaken it. A journey of survival, redemption, and discovery lies ahead. For Ardyn, the battle for Wynther is not only a fight for his people, but a fight to reclaim the legacy of his ancestors-and to face the darkness that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. The dragons are returning. And their fate, like the fate of the kingdom itself, lies in the hands of the one who can awaken their power.
