THE BOOKS
The Arkannian Saga is the tale of Deanna, born on Earth in the late 20th century yet descended from the royalty of another world. Her journey begins in the prequel book Deanna – The Beginning, which sets the stage for her trials and destiny. From there, her adventures beyond Earth unfold in Legacy of the Lost Realm, where she takes her first steps into the wider cosmos and confronts the forces that shape her fate.
But Deanna’s story stretches far deeper. In The Rise of Llamda, readers discover her first birth as Princess Gràís D’hè MàcBhàtàr, the Eternal Heir, whose reign and rebirths span countless worlds and ages. The Dawn of Destiny, Book One of The Rise of Llamda, reveals the origins of her power, her command, and her love. Threads that will echo through every incarnation.
Together, The Rise of Llamda and The Arkannian Saga weave a mythic continuum: from Gràís D’hè’s first birth in the ancient kingdom of Llamda, to Deanna’s 7,000 years of rebirth on Earth, and finally to her rediscovery of Arkannia. Across lifetimes, she remains trans, resilient, and forever entwined in queer love that defies prophecy and reshapes destiny.
Princess Gràís D’hè MàcBhàtàr was born billions of years ago in a universe long since collapsed. Marked by prophecy as the Eternal Heir, she is destined to rule for a thousand years, then be reborn again and again, carrying her power and memory across countless worlds and ages.
But even immortals must learn to lead.
As a teenager in the kingdom of Llamda, Gràís D’hè is sent to the borderlands to hone her skills. Amid smoke, steel, and endless threat, she discovers a rare gift for command—bold gambits, unshakable resolve, and the ability to inspire loyalty where others would yield. Defending a besieged Valorian town against impossible odds, she proves that prophecy alone is not enough. Her destiny must be earned through sacrifice.
In Valoria, she finds not only her purpose but her heart, in Princess Elara, whose courage awakens a love as fierce as any battle Gràís D’hè has fought. Their union promises to bind kingdoms and challenge enemies, setting the stage for the thousand-year reign foretold at her birth.
But shadows gather. King Fergus of Dùn Breagha stirs unrest on Valoria’s northern border, and whispers speak of his daughter—ambitious, ruthless, and raised to claim more than her share of power. For Gràís D’hè and Elara, love and alliance will not be enough. They must prepare for the storm Fergus is only beginning to unleash.
Deanna - The Beginning
This is the Prequel to the Chosen One. I wanted to write about where Deanna came from, and how she got started on her path.
Meet Deanna at 16, before she learns to use her power. Walk with her through her early years, and find out how she comes into her own.
Be with Deanna when she discovers her destiny in life, and see the first attempts upon her life.
Agents of the great evil stalk Deanna, even while she is just a teenager, for even then they see greatness in her.
Legacy of the Lost Realm: Part 1 - The Beginning is a sweeping epic of destiny, love, and resilience across time, worlds, and lifetimes.
For seven thousand years, Deanna has been reborn again and again. Always the same soul, always driven by one unshakable need: to find her long-lost people. Descendants of the ancient Llamdan Empire, a civilisation that rose to prominence billions of years ago in an older universe, they fled a great evil and vanished into the stars. It is Deanna's destiny to seek them, no matter how many lifetimes it takes.
Her quest leads her to Arkannia, a planet fractured by strange temporal anomalies. When her ship detects readings from a Gateway linking Arkannia's present to a destroyed world of the past, Deanna uncovers a chilling truth: the ruler of that lost realm has invaded Arkannia, conquering it with the power of ages long gone.
Drawn into this war, Deanna rescues Katrine, cousin to the captured King, and joins a rebellion to free Arkannia's subjugated people. At her side is Elena, a Wizard and healer, whose bond with Deanna spans millennia. Together they uncover Deanna's true identity as the Chosen One and rightful heir to Llamda's throne. As they fight to rescue the King, Deanna and Elena's connection deepens into a love both tender and transformative. Yet, Deanna, haunted by past losses and wrestling with her identity, must learn to embrace her power, and her heart, without fear.
Ancient secrets, Elven legacies, and perilous trials await, from mind-linking rituals to gateways sealed by forgotten magic. When the King is finally found, Deanna's fierce protective instincts ignite, revealing not only her strength but also her deepest vulnerability.
Legacy of the Lost Realm is a spellbinding saga where timelines collide, empires echo across universes, and one woman's eternal search for her people becomes the key to resisting a darkness older than time itself.
Legacy of the Lost Realm Part II - Fates Entwined:
The saga continues as Deanna and her companions face trials that will test their courage, their love, and their very survival.
The Gateway awaits. A passage hidden long ago, buried deep in a lower realm where Death itself lingers. To cross it is to trespass into a place where the living are not welcome. Deanna must shield her friends and herself from the shadows that hunger for their souls, while Elena, bound to her across millennia, must rise to her full strength or risk losing them all.
Beyond the Gateway lies a blasted, desolate world teetering on the edge of destruction. Here, the citadel of Indra-Kan looms. A fortress of pure evil, where the captured King is held prisoner. To reach him, Deanna and her allies must endure trials of magic, betrayal, and despair, each step drawing them closer to the heart of darkness.
But even if they succeed, will they survive long enough to return to Wizards Vale? The King must stand as the figurehead of a rebellion yet to come, for war is on the horizon. Against the forces of death, the legacy of elves, and the fragile bonds of love, Deanna must fight not only for Arkannia’s freedom but for the destiny she has carried across lifetimes.
Legacy of the Lost Realm: Part II is a tale of peril and passion, where gateways lead to ruin, citadels conceal ancient evil, and one woman’s eternal search collides with the fate of worlds.

Love and Death, Book 2, Part 1 - The Awakening Bond
This is the second book of the Arkannian Saga
The Awakening Bond is the first part of the Second installment of The Arkannian Saga
In the mystical world of Arkannia, where ancient magic and political intrigue intertwine, a new chapter unfolds in the epic saga.
After rescuing King Torad, the Wizard Council convinces the fierce warrior Deanna to embark on a perilous quest to find the legendary Sword of Arkannia. Only with this powerful artifact can they hope to defeat the malevolent Indra-Kan and his formidable armies. Torad, bonded to the sword, can sense its direction but cannot wield it alone.
Their journey takes a dire turn when Deanna is poisoned with a rare toxin, leaving her magic struggling to keep her alive and severely limiting her abilities. Determined to save their world, the group must travel to the distant Empire of Greenland. Knowing Indra-Kan is aware of their mission, they disguise themselves as merchants and mercenaries, with Elena, a beautiful and powerful wizard, posing as Deanna’s companion.
Following their perilous journey in Love and Death: Part 1, Deanna and her companions embark on a critical quest to recover the legendary Sword of Arkannia, hidden centuries ago by King Torad’s father. With their world on the edge of ruin, they must cross dangerous lands, contend with a self-righteous king, battle dark wizards, and uncover a traitor among their allies.
Weakened by the poison sapping her strength, Deanna struggles to protect her companions, while Elena begins unlocking her vast magical potential, learning to reshape herself and weave her magic into the universe’s fabric. Their journey leads them to Death Mountain—feared as a gateway to the realm of Death itself—where they gain an unlikely ally in Naaret, leader of the mysterious Knighthood of Death.
At a mystical Henge during a double solar eclipse, Deanna and Elena confess their love and are united in a marriage blessed by the Goddess Brigid. This union reveals shocking truths about their past lives: Deanna’s first as Gràís D’hè MàcBhàtàr, Empress of Llamda, and Elena’s as Elara, her devoted wife. Confronting their deepest fears in Death’s realm, the companions uncover the Sword of Arkannia, only to face betrayal upon their return.
In a final, self-sacrificing act, Deanna—now Gràís Dhè MacBhàtair—uses her remaining strength to banish the traitor to another realm, severing her bond with Elena in the process. Devastated but determined, Elena must lead the companions back to Arkann, protect King Torad, and continue the fight for their world, all while holding on to the hope that Gràís will return.
Love and Death: Part 2 – The Quest for the Sword of Arkannia weaves a powerful tale of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery as the companions face ancient truths and the ultimate test of resilience.

This collection of poetry is a testament to survival, to love, to rage, and to the stubborn flame of hope that refuses to go out. These poems speak from the fractures and the fire, from grief that reshapes us, from joy that refuses to be silenced. They are at once personal and political, intimate and universal. An invitation to witness what it means to live authentically in a world that often demands erasure.
Through language that burns and soothes, that challenges and comforts, this book carries readers through the landscapes of identity, resistance, beauty, and becoming. It is for anyone who has ever felt out of place, anyone who has been told to be smaller, anyone who has carried both wounds and wonder in the same breath.
The voice within these pages is unflinching... sometimes raw, sometimes tender, always true. Here you will find poems that weep, poems that fight, and poems that shine like lanterns in the dark.
Content Note: These poems engage with themes of intimacy, identity, resilience, grief, queerness, gender, oppression, and survival. While written with care, some pieces contain references to discrimination, systemic injustice, and violence. Readers are encouraged to approach with openness and care for themselves.
