About the Author
The Mind That Learned Courage From Myth
Greek mythology found me in a history classroom when I was young. The gods, their power, their cruelty fascinated me. I devoured fantasy books that brought these ancient beings into modern stories, amazed by how magical it all felt.
For years, I wrote in secret. Shyness kept my stories hidden until a friend discovered my hobby and demanded I share. She didn’t laugh. She encouraged me. She loved how I wove reality and magic together, creating worlds we could both escape into.
I still carry that shyness, but now I also carry confidence. The Fire Within poured from my own emotions. When sadness found me, my protagonist felt that same ache. When anger burned, her veins glowed red. My imagination shaped everything else, building a story about defiance, disability, and the unbreakable will to choose your own path.
Two Books, One Mortal Who Refuses to Be Controlled
Follow the nameless protagonist as she defies gods, breaks bonds, and discovers the phoenix rising within her. From mortal defiance to goddess rebellion, this is fantasy that refuses to follow the rules.
The Fire Within
Zeus gave her a disability to control her. The gods forced power into her veins. The dragon family she trusted betrayed her with unwanted bonds. She learned to turn pain into strength, fire into a weapon, and defiance into freedom. This is not a story about submission. This is about one mortal who refuses every path laid before her and creates her own.
The Goddess of Fire
The fight for freedom continues. She escaped once and built her own realm, but the gods never forget. With the phoenix fully awakened and new enemies emerging, the stakes reach beyond her own survival. This time, she fights not just for herself, but for everyone who refuses to bow.
Discover Her Journey
Escapes, Betrayals, and the Awakening of Power
The first three chapters introduce her journey of courage and growth. From escaping a controlling past to stepping into a world of magic and powerful beings, she must learn to trust herself and navigate challenges she never imagined.
She finally understands the toxicity of her past relationships and finds the courage to leave. Alone in a new town in Scotland, she discovers peace in a secluded log cabin. But threats follow her—former connections and locals who judge her. She begins to notice the first signs of her unique powers, like the glow in her veins when anger flares.
Thrown into a magical world, she quickly realizes this new life is no safer than the last. She meets mystical guardians and discovers shifters exist. Conflicts arise immediately, forcing her to fight and defend herself. Confusion turns into anger and determination, revealing the first glimpses of her growing power.
She meets the gods who claim to control her destiny. Mind-reading, magical bonds, and strict rules are forced upon her. Through clever thinking, careful observation, and bold action, she navigates contracts, tests limits, and finds ways to protect her freedom. Each encounter deepens her understanding of this dangerous world—and her own inner fire.
What Readers Are Saying
“The Fire Within grabbed me from the first page. The protagonist’s refusal to give in, even when facing gods, kept me turning pages late into the night. Her strength despite her disability felt authentic and inspiring.”
Sarah M.
“I loved the found family aspect with the shifters and centaurs, which made the betrayal by the dragon family hit harder. The emotional depth throughout the book caught me off guard in the best way.”
Emma T.
“The magic system was well thought out. The fire inside her that could kill her if uncontrolled added real stakes to her training scenes. I was genuinely worried she might not survive.”
Michael R.
“The relationship dynamics were complex. No easy romances or quick fixes. The dragon king’s betrayal felt earned rather than thrown in for drama. Everything had consequences.”
Lisa H.
“As someone who deals with chronic pain, I found the protagonist’s management strategies realistic. The cold helping, walking barefoot, the limitations on what she could do. The author clearly put thought into this.”
Thomas W.
“The protagonist’s sarcasm in terrible situations made her feel real. People use humor to cope with trauma, and seeing that reflected in a fantasy novel was refreshing.”
Rachel B.
“I finished this book in two days. The pacing kept me engaged, and the ending left me wanting Book 2 immediately. The protagonist’s determination to create her own realm as a final act of defiance was perfect.”
