She may have never won a single race, but she never stopped running.

"Undefeated Spirit" - That is Haru Urara.

Now she's crossed the Final Finish Line.

Rest well, girl.

Never thought I'd find myself crying over the fictional personifications of IRL racehorses - from a sport which I have absolutely zero interest in. Actually, less than zero since I have poor memories of my local race track as my father worked there for a number of years.

But here we are.

Book 1 was ~90,000 words.

Book 2 currently, is... 176,000 words...

Lunadell: a small forest clearing, hidden in a sea of trees. Where Kat calls home. Where Emile first appears. Where the story begins, and mystery unfolds. A pond of silver light, the Makurai tree standing guard.

The first breath of Auria.

Katejina: mysterious, non-human, sharp-eyed and sharper-witted. Wary, feral, hiding fear behind control. A puzzle at first—her past unclear, her strength quiet but undeniable. A heart that surprises even herself, and a loyalty hard-won but unbreakable.

Julian "Emile" Curodela: Displaced, fractured, and searching for purpose in a world that isn’t his. He is not driven by destiny—just the will to survive, and maybe, to matter.

He is haunted by memories he can’t trust, and a guilt he can’t name.

It's one of those rare pieces of work that I feel like if I never accomplished another thing in my life, I think I'd be okay with that. The feelings I managed to convey with that song alone have culminated 20 years of my writing career and I don't know that I'll ever succeed it.

FeatherForge @featherforge.bsky.social · Jun 17

I want to reiterate just how much I love this song:

"I saw you in pieces of sunlight,
Falling gold in a world made of gray.
You were warmth in a sky I had long since forgotten,
And I-
I let you slip away..."

That's everything. Emile's entire soul, laid bare.

With cosmic forces looming and quiet moments anchoring their journey, the book explores what it means to be displaced—from home, from memory, from self—and what it takes to choose love in a world that has never made space for it.

At its heart, this is a story about identity, found family, and the collision of two souls who should never have met, yet become each other’s gravity.

As Emile searches for answers about his arrival, his purpose, and the echoes of a father who disappeared chasing the same questions, he and Kat must navigate a world both beautiful and brutal—one that seems to remember them even when they do not remember themselves.

So what IS The Or'Yon Saga? Well, read on!

Book 1:

The Or’Yon Saga: The Or’Yon Saga, Book 1: The Displaced is a character-driven science-fantasy novel about a man torn from Earth and dropped into a world where nothing makes sense except the bond he forms with a mysterious, non-human girl.

I personally can't listen to either of these enough.

I haven't ever felt this proud about my work. And these songs encapsulate everything I've tried to accomplish with this story over the last 20 years.

They might be the most creative and valuable thing I've ever done with my life.

To follow that - a song that evokes Katejina's (female mc) journey through Book 1.

I highly suggest listening to Emile's followed by Kat's for the most impact.

Now I am going promote my books as much as possible, since no matter which publishing route I take, marketing is going to be important.

So have a song that evokes Emile's (male mc) journey through Book 1.

It's been months since I've posted about it, but my debut novel series has been renamed.

It's no longer "The Arian Saga". It is now "The Or'Yon Saga". The second draft of the manuscript is currently under professional review, and I'm hoping I can move on to publishing soon!
