"Just wanted to say I really like the descriptions here! Your writing style is really engaging and works really well with the story to far. I feel like I'm watching a movie because I can see everything to clearly (like I'm flying with the dragons, overlooking the land as it is being destroyed)"
"Finished! This was really good, I loved how much detail you wrote about everything - especially of the city and the market. It set it up perfectly so you could actually picture what it looked and felt (and smelled) like...I thought it flowed well, the city sounds amazing, the characters are interesting. I also like the idea of them going against a cult, especially one known to kill people and bring them back to serve them... Can't wait to read more! "

Orphaned as a child and forged in the fires of hardship, Rider has grown into a formidable swordsman with no past to anchor him—until fate binds him to a kingdom on the brink of ruin.
When Queen Vyshaan, the Iron Sorceress of Brightspire, needs to thwart a dark cult rising from the shadows, Rider steps up to the task. What begins as a quest for coin quickly becomes a battle for the very soul of Etonya. As ancient dragons stir and celestial forces awaken, Rider discovers a dangerous power within himself, one tied not only to the magic of his world, but to a forgotten legacy written in the stars.
Alliances will be tested. Love and passion will ignite in the heart of war. He embraces a Spark born of destruction, determined to wield it with honor—even as it threatens to unravel him.
The first book in The Astrala Saga is a sweeping epic of magic, fiery romance, and destiny. Perfect for readers who revel in dragon lore, star-born legacies, and sword-swinging heroes who must choose between who they are and who they’re meant to become.
Sometimes, the greatest power lies not in the sword… but in the heart that wields it.
