The Shadow Realm Chronicles: Maeve

/ Nancy Ann Creed / Leave a comment

Check out the first book in my series the Shadow Realm Chronicles. The series is almost done. Two more books to come which are both being edited now! Stay tuned for more! All books are available on Kindle for 3.99 and they are part of Kindle Unlimited! The link is at the bottom of this post.

Many years ago, darkness tore apart the worlds. They called it the Great War, for it was massive and involved all the realms of each world. Enemies on either side grew their armies for battle with heavy casualties. New allies formed out of this bloodshed while old ones crumbled. 

The world of the Faye changed forever as their king descended into madness. His name was Julian. He once was a loving ruler, but those times were long gone. The pages written of him now are full of rage, blood, and hatred. Hatred for his children who grew to love others and revolt against him and his rule. Hatred for his wife, who fled with his children and hatred for all the realms that were not under his rule. Julian needed his children because they were powerful. Each one controlled one of the four elements: wind, water, earth, and fire. Even though his children hated what he had become, they remembered the good in him and were perhaps the only ones besides their mother who did. 

Marius, the leader of the vampires and Jonathan, the ruler of The Shadow Realm, fought alongside Julian, but they did not trust him. Each of these three men was scheming against each other as they all wanted to come out the victor. 

Jonathan had many plans and plots forming in his head, but they all revolved around Maeve. Maeve was a fairy, but she lived in a quiet world. The one world that was protected from the Great War. Jonathan didn’t care what Julian or Marius did as long as it didn’t inter- fere with his plan, but interfering was what they did best. Jonathan had great plans for Maeve and her family, but he knew little of her connections to Julian’s family. 

The Great War might have been over, but another one was looming in the distance, and it all began with a lonely mother named Maeve.

Buy me a Cup of Coffee and Patreon

/ Nancy Ann Creed / Leave a comment

Many authors I follow have sites like Buy Me a Coffee and Patreon. I wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea if I made one too. But over the summer, I started to think about it more seriously. I followed some authors and saw what they used their platforms for. I modeled my pages after some of them, taking what I liked from one and something from another.

Fast forward to today: I just published my sites! I plan on writing short stories and books that will be exclusive to my Patreon subscribers. I think I might release exclusive chapters in order, and then publish the book after it’s polished up a bit. Of course, this will be a first draft, but I think I can have a lot of fun with this platform.

Check out my new blog! I don’t have much up yet, but I’ll be posting a few times a week, and I’ll start posting chapters by the end of the week. Fingers crossed!

Morning and I Don’t Want to Wake

The morning calls, a gentle whisper,
Yet still I linger, half asleep.
The sun shines bright, the birds are singing,
But still I cannot rise to keep.

I know I must, I have things to do,
But oh, the warmth of this soft bed!
The covers are so cozy,
And I could just stay here instead.

But no, I must get up, I must face the day.
The world is waiting for me,
And I cannot hide away forever.

So I take a deep breath, and I open my eyes.
The sun is shining brighter now,
And the birds are singing even louder.

I know it will be a good day,
Even if I’m a little sleepy.
After all, there’s nothing like a challenge
To wake you up and get you going.

Chapter 1 The Great War

Many years ago, darkness tore apart the worlds. They called it the Great War, for it was massive and involved all the realms of each world. Enemies on either side grew their armies for battle with heavy casualties. New allies formed out of this bloodshed while old ones crumbled. 

The world of the Faye changed forever as their king descended into madness. His name was Julian. He once was a loving ruler, but those times were long gone. The pages written of him now are full of rage, blood, and hatred. Hatred for his children who grew to love others and revolt against him and his rule. Hatred for his wife, who fled with his children and hatred for all the realms that were not under his rule. Julian needed his children because they were powerful. Each one controlled one of the four elements: wind, water, earth, and fire. Even though his children hated what he had become, they remembered the good in him and were perhaps the only ones besides their mother who did. 

Marius, the leader of the vampires and Jonathan, the ruler of The Shadow Realm, fought alongside Julian, but they did not trust him. Each of these three men was scheming against each other as they all wanted to come out the victor. 

Jonathan had many plans and plots forming in his head, but they all revolved around Maeve. Maeve was a fairy, but she lived in a quiet world. The one world that was protected from the Great War.
