Kingdom Rising Volume 1 

A Draoithe Saga Tale

With nothing except disability discharge papers in hand, Luke limped away from the military to reinvent himself. After months of searching for a place to start anew, he finally ended up in Texas with a newfound determination to rise again. 

The gorgeous school teacher neighbor he began secretly watching was an enigma, a mystery that demanded to be solved. With every passing day, his desire to possess her grew deeper until she became the most important thing in his life, and obtaining her became his obsession. 

Determined to win her heart, they embarked on a grand romance, but he never suspected a shadowy evil watched him with malevolent eyes. With a suddenness that wrecked his world, a diabolical force of darkness attacked not him, but her, unleashing the warrior within.  

Using powerful magic, Luke transformed into an immortal direwolf. His fangs dripped saliva of a primal rage to taste his enemy. He was a lethal beast, with one mission: to protect and defend the woman he held dear, no matter the cost. His love needed him, and he would stop at nothing to defeat the evil and build his pack. 

Welcome to the dream…

Note: The ebooks sold here, from my Payhip storefront, may differ slightly from those offered at other retailers. The story will be the same for identical stories, however, some tales are exclusive to this platform and many have exclusive extra features such as character art, charts or graphs, references, AI audio, Video Book access, research videos for behind-the-scenes extended immersion, and extra details that aren't available from other retailers due to download fees, illustration limits, or other issues. I strive to offer readers the best quality and the earliest reading opportunity from my platform. Payhip is home to the dream. Buying direct is always the best way to support an Indie Author, but I appreciate your dedication to the dream, no matter what platform or format you prefer. I enjoy publishing widely and hope my stories are available as you prefer to read them.

Can you breathe it? Dust flitting on the breeze from the cover being lifted. Ink saturating a yellowing parchment. Glue holding a faint trace of long dried chemicals. Can you feel it? The weight of the paper stacked in order. The anticipation of insight into another world. The sheer roaring power of knowledge in the written words. Can you sense it? A great escape, a grand adventure, an exquisite love affair. Book Life. Read Life. Write Life. Ophelia Kee

About the Author

Not who everyone thinks she is.  

The product of someone’s imagination. 

The end result of a lifetime wishing to get out.

Do not buy the lie.

If you live in fear, you give up freedom.

Taking the risk and making the leap.

Too much of anything is a bad thing.

Innuendo floating on the mist that rises above the water.

Walk away and leave it all behind.

Telling the story that haunts a fantasy.

Catching a dream.

She does not exist.
