On the storm-lashed cliffs of Pyrecliffs, hope flickers in the darkness.
In a world where dragons are nearly extinct and hope is a fading legend; the last eggs of Queen Enesrax lie hidden beneath the sands—waiting for those destined to awaken them.
Thrust into a destiny never imagined, Leekora, a young tracker haunted by loss, bonds with a golden dragon hatchling. Alongside a diverse group of survivors—orphans, outcasts, and dreamers—swept into the heart of Wyrmbane Academy. A sanctuary perched atop ancient cliffs, they train to become the next generation of dragon riders.
But as the new heir’s forge bonds with their dragons, old shadows stir. Slaver ships prowl the coast, a mysterious sickness threatens the young, and ancient prophecies whisper of a coming darkness only the bravest can defy. To protect their newfound family and the fragile hope of their world, Leekora, and her companions must master their gifts, unravel the secrets of the past, and discover what it truly means to be heirs of Enesrax.
The legacy of dragons is not just in their fire—but in the courage to rise, the strength to unite, and the will to shape a future from the ashes of the old.

Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
