The Last Legends

The Last Legends

The Beginning of the Saga

For years, I’ve crafted stories to teach. Now, I’m writing to explore and to reclaim. My goal is to tell a story born from my home and the myths that live in its stones and to then weave in the magic that those old whispers always hinted was possible.

  This is the beginning of The Last Legends Saga.

  For too long, the image of ancient Greece and its Gods has been filtered through a Hollywood lens; simplified, glamorized, and often just plain wrong. This series is my quiet answer to that frustration. When I wrote the first draft, I was shocked to realize my own understanding was built on those pop-culture myths. My first draft imitated a ghost: a pale reflection of traditions my ancestors lived, traditions already broken by time and conquest, interpreted and twisted long before Hollywood ever touched them.

  So, I went back. I read the fragments left by my ancestors, studied, and listened to what the ruins and the old stories were actually saying. I tore up that first draft and started again.

  Yes, some elements of the story and the heroes are fictional. But through them, I have tried to capture something real: the relationship of the ancient Greeks with their Gods—the worship etched into their souls, the traditions woven into their ethos and thought, the myths told the way I believe my ancestors would tell them.

  Even the title carries a different weight in this story. Today, a “godslayer” is often a hero who faces no consequences, acting out of vengeance or hunger for power. That “hero” has no respect for anything or anyone, no moral ground, and acts out of pure ego, usually shown as if there were no other choice. A “hero” who teaches us to devastate and disrespect even the Divine. The Godslayer you will meet in my books is nothing like that at all.

  From that solid earth of history, I’ve grown a story where memory itself becomes a physical power, where Gods walk not as caricatures, but as echoes of cults history tried to erase. In a culture that entrusted its soul to oral tradition, what is memory if not a sacred force? This is mythic fantasy built not on top of the past, but from within its silences. In this world, it is also the most contested prize.

  The saga opens with GODSLAYER. It follows Orion, a seeming mortal haunted by divine nightmares, and Phaedra, a priestess who sees the truth he hides. Their journey is one of stolen pasts, hidden wars, and the terrible cost of remembering.

  This blog will be the home for this saga as it grows. Here, I’ll share the foundations: the real history and myths that inspire it, the true, complex faces of the Greek Gods, deeper looks into characters like Orion and Phaedra, and insights from the journey that bring this book to life.

May the Muses guide my hand and open my heart as I write, helping me honor the soil from which these stories grew.

The first great step is the launch of GODSLAYER on Kickstarter. If you want to be the first to know when the gates open, and join this founding community of readers, sign up for notifications right here and receive a free sample of the book:
