The City of Dying: The Fallen Kingdom (Vol. 1)

About the Book

The novel takes place in a futuristic world within the fictional City of Dion. The story centers over a looming civil war that threatens humanity, previously decimated by an ancient war perpetuated by an evil race known as the Sedi’Ans. Rebel factions and secret organizations fight to seize control of the ailing kingdom while the illegitimate king hides in fear for his life. A mercenary, who discovers she has mysterious powers, must help the reluctant king discover his inner strength to accept his father’s responsibilities as the rightful heir to the Ancestral Birthright while trying to discover the truth about her own past. Together they must unite him with the lost Ancestral Birthright that has shunned society, to protect the kingdom from the prophesized end of civilization. However, the prophecy proclaims that the Sons of Sedi’an will consume the kingdom and possess the Ancestral Birthright for themselves. Sedi’an’s half-breed progeny threatens to resurrect the ancient war to fulfill prophecy.

About the Author

I began this journey in a different but similar arena of storytelling as an artist, opposed to being a writer. In 1995, I studied Computer-Aided Drafting and then Computer Animation in 1998 looking to make it in the world of animation. In 2006, I then forged to establish a CGI Animation Studio and wrote my first script as the initial 3D animated project for the intended studio; however, failed to establish the studio and the project went nowhere. In 2010, I made the obvious decision to turn my original script into a novel to get my project to the public. As a child, I was an avid comic book reader and Japanese Anime enthusiast. I translated that love into my own style of storytelling. At age 16, I conceived the idea for this novel, only to write the screenplay 15 years later, then the subsequent novel series 3 years after.
