On preorder now

Releases: May 5th, 2025.

Are you ready to travel back three thousand years and meet the Goddess Leyandrii, her Captain, Guerlaire, and find out how the Sentinals came to be and what happened to them?

Set three thousand years prior to Sentinals Awaken, the first book in the Sentinals Series, the prequel part one delves into Leyandrii’s world before she acted to protect her people against the shadowy threat of the ascendants.

Here we get to meet Guerlaire, his friends Chryll, Anter and many more. We find out how Tagerill, Serill and Birler first meet and join them in their trials and tribulations to become a Lady’s Ranger.

Interwined is the great love story of Leyandrii and Guerlaire and how they both strive to protect the other against those who oppose them.

Part One will be available May 5th, 2025, and Part Two as soon as I can finish it, but it will be in 2025.

Back the Kickstarter now!

Kickstarter runs for 21 days until April 14th, 2025.

Eighteen amazing authors came together and wrote eighteen dragon themed short stories. From Epic, to LitRPG to noblebright, there is a story for everyone.

As we’re funded, I thought I’d introduce you to my short story, Secret Alliance.

I wrote a short story based in a brand new epic fantasy world. A world I will be writing more in, I just can’t decide whether to write the before or after to my short story! Let me know in the comments if you have a preference.

Secret Alliance is set in a world where dragons are in decline, and there is only one queen dragon, Arithvengar, remaining. She has lost her bonded rider and is grieving, no one can reason with her, so as a last resort Brachendar, the wing commander of the King’s Flight, goes off in search of the one person who may be able to reach her. The only problem is Renderen doesn’t want to be found, and he certainly doesn’t want to return to a place he fled.

Meet the Sentinals: Tagerill

It’s time to find out more about the characters in the epic fantasy Sentinal series. Who do you want to know more about?

Going back three thousand years means we get a chance to delve into who the Sentinals really are, where they came from, and how they became Sentinals in the first place.

The Sentinals were not always silver-eyed, with distinctive names and appearance, representing the absent Lady Leyandrii. They were ordinary people with hopes and dreams.

Up next is Tagerill. What do we know about him from the Sentinal series?

We know Tagerill is from a close family, one of four children. His older brothers are Penner and Versillion, sister Marianille, and younger brother, Birlerion. He comes from Greens, now called Greenswatch. His father is the Lord of Watch, Lord Warren, and his mother, Lady Melis.

The Descelles are an ancient family, long supporters of the Lady Leyandrii, and they protect the forests and lands known as Greens. Tagerill is a fiery red head, rumbunctious and loyal. We first meet Tagerill in Stoneford Watch, when Jerrol awakes the Stoneford Sentinals. He is overwhelmed by the loss of his family, only the company of Birlerion keeps him balanced and functioning.

Tagerill’s Sentinal name is Tagerillion, but he rarely uses it, often his name is shortened to Tage by his family and close friends. Tagerill loves his family and Greens. He steps up to protect Jerrol almost immediately, wielding his huge broadsword and his larger than life personality.

Release Date: May 5th, 2025.

BIRLERION – What do we know about him?

Trailer

It’s time to focus on the characters in the epic fantasy Sentinal series who you want to know more about.

Going back three thousand years means we get a chance to delve into who the Sentinals really are, where they came from, and how they became Sentinals in the first place.

The Sentinals were not always silver-eyed, with distinctive names and appearance, representing the absent Lady Leyandrii. They were ordinary people with hopes and dreams.

Let’s start with Birlerion. What do we know about him from the Sentinal series?

Birlerion is the first Sentinal we meet. He has been sleeping in his sentinal tree in the gardens of the Lady’s temple. The only sentinal tree in the city of Old Vespers.

When Jerrol accidentally awakes him, Birlerion is thrown into a world that he no longer recognises. Three thousand years have passed and he is horrified to find that not only the city has changed, but the language has evolved, and his family are long dead. He is steadied by the need to protect Jerrol, the new Lady’s Captain.

But who was he?

Before he was called Birlerion, he was known as Birler. We know he came from the city streets of Vespers in the territory of Vespiri, had no ancient family name, though he calls Tagerill brother and uses his family name, Descelles. How did he become to be adopted into the Descelles family. Where did he actually come from?

Birlerion is the most mysterious of the Sentinals, it takes six books to discover who he is in the future and the part he has to play. Now’s the time to find out where he came from.

Sentinals Discovery is a novella which shows Birlerion’s reaction when he is first awoken, and is the first few chapters of Sentinals Awaken from Birlerion’s POV. If you sign up to my newsletter via www.helengarraway.com, you can download it for free along with the novella Sentinals Stirring.
