Shadows of Valandor – Book One in the Legacy Begins

Ancient powers stir as forgotten magic returns to the world. When the sacred currents begin to unravel, scholars, warriors, and rogues must confront a darkness long thought vanquished, and the secrets buried beneath their own pasts.

Arcane corruption spreads. Kingdoms falter. And in the growing void, the Shadowbound rise again.

The war for Valandor has not yet begun, but its first shadows have fallen.

Unforgettable characters. Addictive pacing.

This book delivers on everything I look for: layered lore, unpredictable plot, and a cast of characters you can’t stop thinking about. I need Book 2. Immediately.

Epic in scope. Intimate in emotion.

If you love morally gray heroes, scheming nobles, and a world that feels both mythic and grounded, Shadows of Valandor is your next obsession. It's like stepping into a legend that hasn't finished being written yet.

Dark, character-driven fantasy done right

This isn’t your typical high fantasy. Shadows of Valandor brings complex characters, real stakes, and hard-hitting moments of loss and triumph. Rhiannon Archer may be one of the most compelling protagonists I’ve read in years.

A masterclass in immersive storytelling

Valandor feels like a place that’s existed for centuries, and I was merely lucky enough to visit. The depth of history, the political tension, and the magic (subtly woven, not overdone) kept me turning pages. This is what epic fantasy should be.

A thrilling new voice in epic fantasy

Shadows of Valandor pulled me in from the first page with its rich, immersive world and unforgettable characters. Every twist felt earned, every emotion raw. I laughed, I gasped, and I stayed up way too late reading.

The Rising Shadow – Book Two in the Legacy of Shadows and Dreams

Old wounds deepen as uneasy peace splinters across the realm. While the kingdoms rebuild, a new force rises, brazen, cunning, and born not of shadow, but ambition.

Alliances fracture. Secrets ignite. And from the ashes of trust, a darker war takes root.

The true battle for Valandor begins, not in darkness, but in the light.
