The Rings of Alleysiande
A tale of lost paradises, awakened dragons, and the dangerous power of stories.
In the world of Aerda, the legendary land of Alleysiande—once a perfect realm of wonder and creation at the heart of twelve enchanted rings—has faded into myth. But its fall echoes still. Guarded by twelve Sentinels and their gifts, Alleysiande’s disappearance left behind corrupted empires, shadow dragons, and a fragile hope carried in ancient tales.
At the center of it all is Phaedra, the Sorceress—daughter of a divine sorcerer and the Queen of Hell itself. Trapped in an endless cosmic struggle, she disrupts time itself to protect creation and the innocent, only to risk dooming everything she loves. Her story weaves through two timelines thousands of years apart: one where a lone, ancient Rooke must use the magic of storytelling to soothe two colossal dragons—Tempestriel (the ice dragon) and his fiery mate—before they awaken and remake the world in judgment. The other, where Phaedra’s desperate corrections ripple across history, birthing new legends, pirate fleets, persecuted faiths, and the rise of a prophesied savior.
This is an epic fantasy series about the stories we tell, the worlds we build (and break), and the redemptive fury of better angels. Expect:
Massive dragons and their hidden progeny.
Time-bending magic, sentient ships, living tattoos (graffs), and Ambriel’s Cube.
Deep lore drawn from fallen angels (the Icari), guardian Sentinels, Erelahian bloodlines, and the Muddy Clans.
Moral complexity: Heroes who falter, villains with seductive charm, and the eternal tension between creation and corruption.
Found family, forbidden love, pirate adventures, steampunk-tinged oppression, and the quiet power of hope in the face of oblivion.
