Gia Watson

The Arkannian Saga

 

Hi and welcome to my page.

​

My name is Gia Watson, author of Deanna – The Beginning, the prequel to The Arkannian Saga. You may also see books published under Graham Watson—that was me before I began transitioning. In late 2015 I embraced my identity as a transgender woman and began my male-to-female transition.

​

I have rewritten Deanna – The Beginning, now available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback. The Chosen One has also been reworked and released as Legacy of the Lost Realm, which is published in two parts:

• Part 1 – The Beginning

• Part 2 – Fates Entwined

​

Book 2 – Love and Death is also complete and available in two parts:

• Part 1 – The Awakening Bond

• Part 2 – Beyond the Veil

​

I am currently working on Book 3 – The Final Battle, which will also be released in two parts.

​

Beyond The Arkannian Saga, I’ve launched a new series exploring the origin story of my character:

• The Rise of Llamda: The Dawn of Destiny (Book 1, available now)

• Shadows of War (Book 2, in progress)

• This series is planned as a five-part epic, with a sequel set further in the future.

​

I’ve also tried my hand at poetry with The Path Was Never Straight: I Named Myself Holy, and I’ve written a standalone work of fiction and political intrigue, Witness Protection, which may one day grow into a series.

​

On this site you’ll also find:

• Llamdan Empire Page – exploring the backstory of my main character, her parents, and the empire’s history.

• Blog & Short Stories – still containing tales of Deanna’s first birth, though I removed the first few stories as they became the opening chapters of The Dawn of Destiny.

• Llamda Countries & Characters Page – if it works properly, this is a spreadsheet linked to my Google Sheets. It has tabs for the countries that make up the High Kingdom, spells from my magical language Druaneth (a play on Scots Gaelic), and my rune magic system Primordial Futhark (inspired by Elder Futhark, but with additional branches that carry magical meaning). And yes, if the Google Sheets works, it’s a small miracle worth celebrating.

• Concepts Page – ideas I’m developing, such as the magical system and Deanna’s spaceship.

• Artwork Page – AI-assisted and photo-manipulated designs I use to visualize scenes and characters.

• Bio Page – more about me and my journey.

Further books in The Arkannian Saga will be released as they are completed. Thank you for joining me on this journey—I’m excited to share these worlds and stories with you.
