Druid Ancestry
Lyons Gate Volume 1
A Dark and Twisted, Ancient Affair
Lazlo Greyson is a wealthy CEO and sole heir to a lineage of Gaelic kings. Tired of shallow relationships with opportunistic socialites and fleeting encounters, Lazlo yearned for a deeper connection in his life. Enter Peter Elliot, a dubious character who had a reputation for trouble. Despite his reservations, Lazlo found himself ensnared by Elliot's nefarious offer.
Elliot arranged a shady meeting between Lazlo and Soraya Heffernon, an enchanting young woman who possessed an intriguing background as a trained orphan. With her captivating charm and undeniable allure, Soraya entrances Lazlo and all thoughts of steering clear of Elliot evaporate.
Soraya Heffernon lived at a boarding school for girls selected by Elliot for his experimental medical procedures. He sold those who failed his test to the highest bidders. Soraya's one chance to escape a sinister future lay in securing a wealthy sponsor. When Lazlo walks into her life, she must make a dangerous decision. Either stay and confront a black future or gamble everything by departing with a charming, affluent stranger whose hidden motives might not bring the salvation she hoped for.

Set in the dream, this spinoff story from the Draoithe Saga tells the tale of a twisted druid king and his chance encounter with a little demon. Powerful magical forces and an ancient unknown prophecy conspire to grant a lonely man's desire and an orphan girl's hope.
It's not simply a story; it's an experience. Welcome to the dream…

Not who everyone thinks she is. The product of someone’s imagination. The end result of a lifetime wishing to get out. Do not buy the lie. If you live in fear, you give up freedom. Taking the risk and making the leap. Too much of anything is a bad thing. Innuendo floating on the mist that rises above the water. Walk away and leave it all behind. Telling the story that haunts a fantasy. Catching a dream. She does not exist. -Ophelia Kee

A Note from Ophelia KeeA Note from Ophelia Kee
Note to the Reader:
A saga is defined as a long story of heroic achievement, especially a medieval prose narrative often found in Old Norse or Old Icelandic. It’s a form of the novel in which the members of a social group chronicle a long story detailing a dramatic history.
Compartmentalized in several miniseries for easier reading, the Draoithe Saga tells the story of the founding of an immortal kingdom in the Leaindeail to combat those responsible for unbalancing the magic of the dream. It’s told through the eyes of those connected with its creation and the readers see the story through tales of couples who find hope through their connection to Draoithe.
The central time frame is the year 2016, although pertinent information from the past reveals itself as the characters understand it. The central place is an eerily familiar yet magical realist, Tyler, Texas. As the tale draws out, other kingdoms set in other locations interact with the Druid pack to bring about the end of Peter Elliot and restore the balance of magic, so those tales, too, became a part of the Draoithe Saga as well. Cameo appearances of characters from other tales are common. Overlapping scenes from the events often relates alternate perspectives as the story unfolds.

Character Introduction 1
Soraya Heffernon
Soraya Heffernon, a little demon meant for a druid kingSoraya Heffernon, a little demon meant for a druid king
An orphan girl trapped in a boarding house as part of one of Peter Elliot’s nefarious schemes seeks a sponsor to escape a fate worse than death. When Lazlo Greyson agrees to sponsor her, she willingly signs her life away as a slave to a wealthy man with the hope he will rescue her. Falling in love with him wasn’t on her mind, but the chemistry between them swept her away. When he requests she study his lineage, she begins a search for the truth and learns they are both more than either of them understands.
Peter Elliot had plans for Soraya. Selling her to the highest bidder was only the first step. Will Lazlo realize what he has with Soraya before it’s too late?
Character Introduction 2
Lazlo Greyson
Lazlo Greyson, Ri Ard Thaibse of Lyons GateLazlo Greyson, Ri Ard Thaibse of Lyons Gate
The multimillionaire CEO of Greyson Advertising, based out of Chicago, Illinois, is more than he knows. Descended from an ancient line of Irish kings, Lazlo owns the family ruins and dabbles in researching his past, but he has a dark side heavily pressing him toward twisted inclinations. It’s lonely at the top. But when a man has wealth, the women all pander for his money, not the man. He seeks something different, something forbidden.
When he meets Soraya Heffernon, he knows he’s found what he seeks. But he doesn’t know what she is anymore than he’s aware of the magic which has driven him for his entire life.
