Gryphon Knight Condemned Is A Book

- January 9, 2026

Dear Reader,

I got it! There was a bit of a question with the audiobook files, but I got it resolved. Gryphon Knight Condemned is Volume 2 in the Druid Dominion Miniseries, set within the world of the dream. If you loved Fire Incarnate, join Marchand and explore what it takes for a condemned knight to rise once more as the Druid Dominion Miniseries continues the Draoithe Saga now!

I had a blast over my holiday break, but I never expected to publish a second title so quickly. Everything fell into place, and I couldn't be happier to have a Christmas book and a New Year book. And since this post is all about bookish news, allow me to introduce the latest paperback currently available from OpheliaKee.com.

Shadow Crown Print Wrap

I long ago shifted gears toward promoting the subscription so I could offer more value from the stories and release them faster. But there is still magic in holding the print copy of a story in your hands, feeling the cover, and sniffing the scent of ink on paper. Someday I hope to craft the miniseries into the omnibus collections they probably should be. If I figure it out, I would love to offer hardcovers with dust jackets, spread edges, foil stamping, ribbons, and exotic covers. They would need to be exclusive to my store, of course, but that's a dream for a distant future after I get more of the Draoithe Saga into print.

With the day job in full force again, things must return to a slower pace, but while I waited for the audio files for Gryphon Knight Condemned, I impatiently built the art and framework for most of Gryphon Knight Atoned. I also edited and posted approximately half the episodes for that story. So it could be possible for you to see one more title released in January. Cross your fingers.

And now a word from our sponsor, Ophelia Kee.

Thread Quote Card

Thread, an entry point into the world of the dream.

Unraveling chaos with each tattered thread

A thousand years ago, chaos escaped into the dream. By 2016, shadowy evil forces using madness were wreaking havoc on the balance of magic, and erasing necessary parts of an ancient prophecy. In danger of losing its magic, the dream attempts to use broken pieces and replacement parts to weave a new tapestry. Choosing the right building blocks isn’t easy.

In this exhilarating prequel tale, meet Luke and Eli, two characters with fascinating pasts and complicated secrets, before they become the king and queen the dream needs them to be. Luke Mendez is a retired military man. Having anxiety, he spies the beautiful girl next door, but then struggles to introduce himself. Eli Miller, the high school history teacher, worked tirelessly for years to break free from a terrible relationship. She moved to Tyler to start over.

Thread is the story of a lonely direwolf shifter and a lone tiger shifter in a time before the two of them meet each other. It sets the stage for A Pack Forms, an enthralling urban fantasy with a paranormal romance tale in the epic Draoithe Saga by Ophelia Kee. If you enjoy the story before the story, Thread is your free introduction to a new series.

Welcome to the dream…

Behind the Scenes

Quest for the Valkyries Infographic

All the character art has vanished from OpheliaKee.com just as I knew it must, but the same as with the Great Takedown, this Lesser Takedown isn't so easy to replace. All the story art is available for Kingdom Rising and Royal Council, but it's slower going on producing all the files in the proper sizes for the other 40+ titles.

If you await a particular bookish art collection, I'm working on the ones for Valkyrie Riders stories at the moment. It's a 12-title miniseries, so have patience. I do not want the art collections to hinder the book publishing schedule or impede posting episodes for the Draoithe Saga subscribers. I will post to Notes as I complete them, but they are on the back burner while I focus more attention on editing manuscripts, maintaining the Substack posts, and publishing stories.
