Echoes of the Ascended: Crown of Defiance (Elysian Realms, #1)

Lyrien Vaelcrest was meant to be a prince. A protector. An echo of a once-noble legacy.
Instead, he walks the Earth as an exile—charming, brilliant, and carrying secrets powerful enough to fracture realms.

When a team of freshly ascended Elysians is sent to Earth, their mission seems simple: prevent a manmade catastrophe that threatens not only humanity but the fragile balance between worlds. But nothing about Earth is simple anymore—not the corrupted energy field known as the Ley Resonance, not the flickering memories of a betrayal long buried, and especially not Lyrien's connection to it all.

As tensions rise between celestial kingdoms and truths begin to surface, Lyrien must navigate a world unraveling beneath his feet—where the lines between duty, defiance, and destiny blur.

Because some echoes were never meant to fade.
And some crowns are forged not from gold, but from fire.

Perfect for fans of mythic fantasy, slow-burn intrigue, and morally complex heroes, A Crown of Defiance begins a sweeping new saga where every choice sends ripples across eternity.

About the Author

My love for sci-fi goes way back to my childhood. I mean, who didn’t love movies like Tron and Terminator when they were a kid? Or great oldies like WarGames? I grew up in the advent of technology and rode the wave of the dot com lifestyle in my 20s. It was a wonderful time to be alive, to see where tech could go. Being involved in the field as a database admin and then later as a hardware tech and web designer, I had my fingers in all of it and I loved what it was all about.

In college, I was a true cyberpunk and gloried over works by Gibson and Dick. I reveled in the hackers manifesto like a warrior and actually prayed for a world like BladeRunner. They were very cool, hyper-energized times we were in and it gave me scores of ideas and hands-on experience to dump into my work.

Now, years later, I am still amazed at what technology and science have continued to churn out.  Dystopian worlds are not far off, and with my techie past, I have more than enough ammo in my brainpan to fill many more books.  And many more shelves.
