Lyra's Odyssey: Realm Of The Ancients (The Diaspora Of Terra Chronicles, #1)

The World of Lyra is a long-forgotten place of a long-forgotten Empire.
People there often wonder about their earliest times, the times before that, and even before Time Itself.
The earliest Events became stories, stories became legends and legends evolved folklore that inflamed mysteries of the imagination. But many Truths and Knowledge was lost.
A Priest class evolved, clothing the mysteries of the past in intricate liturgies and by formulaic rituals. Rituals and words that soothed the masses, but shaped the destinies of the powerful for millennia.
After all, who is more powerful? The Lord or the ones who advise the Lord?
Others sought stories of powerful devices emanating subtle auras and forces that protected and directed even daily life. Long dormant and scattered, these artificial guardians of immense power awaited focused discipline and incantations of spoken codes to awaken.
A Magician class evolved. They became the very human nexus of these powerful forces; what little they learned to invoke.
And so, this is now the World and Odyssey of Lyra.
She reminds us that the greatest powers can grow from a tiny seed in the most unlikely place.

I enjoy crafting immersive sci-fi/fantasy yarns. I also contribute character-development and world-building content to on-line gaming Studio's and realms. If you enjoy sci-fi/fantasy yarns, are a Dungeon Master, create gaming worlds, or just enjoy the genre', my realm-building stories are for you.
I was raised in New Orleans. A place with a rich, sometimes haunting history. But I truly grew-up traveling or living in some thirty-four States. I now reside in North Carolina.
My writings and interests are eclectic. A recent series, The Paladin Papers, are fast-paced, fact-based military/techno thrillers. Based on today's events and often set in the near future, they offer thought-provoking entertainment. They will keep you thinking long after you put them down.
I am certain you will enjoy reading these stories as much as I did writing them. . .
