Prophecy and rebellion ignite a race for ultimate power.
In the heart of the tumultuous Empire of Lumiaron, Naira has at last been united with the scent of the cup-flower, personified in the assassin, Louis. A hidden faith whispers her name, singing songs of prophecies that tell of a savior. As her destiny unfolds, Naira must grapple with her role and the will of the Gods.
Power has shifted. The once-shadowy figure of Brice Rennaurd now wears the Emperor's face and sits upon his throne. He is not content with political might and reaches for a greater prize with bloody hands. Only the rebel dukes stand between Rennaurd and the Blood Gate.
But men cannot follow three leaders. Enter Alund, the Imperial Prince, a figure of hope amidst chaos. The purpure sash lies heavy on his chest, and empires demand a cost. Will Alund rise to the occasion or crumble under the weight of rebellion?
Isabella continues her journey under Herself's tutelage, overcoming her blindness with a burgeoning power. For her too, the Gods have plans and her youth is no barrier to Their demands.
In the third installation of the Sangwheel Chronicles, old and new faces converge, and the sparks of rebellion ignite the empire. As prophecy intertwines with politics, only one thing is certain - the empire will never be the same.
Join Louis, Naira, Alund, and Isabella as they navigate a world teetering on the edge of change in The Lion Vessel. Uncover the secrets that lie in wait, the faith hidden beneath years of silence, and the power that could either save or shatter an empire.
Can our heroes protect the people against Brice Rennaurd? Or will they be swept away in the storm? Prepare yourself for a tale of prophecy, rebellion, and the undeniable power of belief. Immerse yourself in The Lion Vessel today!
What is the Lion Vessel?
The Lion Vessel is the third book in the Sangwheel Chronicles. As part of the perks for the launch, you can get all three books as e-books or as physical books or as audio books!
But what is Sangwheel Chronicles? That is my epic fantasy series. I love fantasy, I love being creative. After spending twenty years running DnD campaigns as my creative outlet, I turned to writing.
I released the first book, The Hidden Blade, in 2021 to good reviews. Book two, The Ducal Heir followed in 2022 and now I am ready to launch book 3, The Lion Vessel, to the world!
How do you know I can write?
Praise for The Hidden Blade, Book 1 of Sangwheel Chronicles:
"The Hidden Blade is one of those rare gems you find in the Independent Publishing arena. Well written, imaginative, with great characters and a wonderful story." - Maxwell Alexander Drake, creative writing teacher & author.
"This book is good if you like Game of Thrones, but would rather have a plot that is laser focused instead of meandering like GRRM does (even the side-plots serve the main one flawlessly). The world is richly developed, and the story was a fun read." - Bryan Fox, Amazon Review

Praise for The Ducal Heir, Book 2 of Sangwheel Chronicles:
I definitely grew into this book as time went on. Some of the last book items were explained and, whilst the other points of view were at first distracting, the pieces of the puzzle came together nicely and I can't wait for the next book. - Richard, Goodreads Review
Complete world-building and engaging characters: I thoroughly enjoyed this book - the world is well put together with a back-story that emerges organically without clumsy exposition, and the main protagonists are interesting and engaging. I’d like a bit more depth on some of the supporting characters - the intrigues of the imperial court can seem a little confusing without it, but perhaps that will become clearer in the next book. The pace is great and it keeps you on the edge of your seat to the end. Looking forward to finding out what happens next. - Tony Smith, Amazon Review

What do you get?
You can chose from audio book, e-book or physical books. Physical books will be fulfilled through Amazon so please ensure that you can receive Amazon orders before ordering a physical or signed copy.
What is the state of writing?
The Lion Vessel is entirely written, and ready to publish. This campaign is primarily a drive to raise funds for marketing, with a secondary goal of professional audio book narration. If not successful, the funds raised in this campaign will still go toward marketing for The Sangwheel Chronicles. If this marketing drives sales sufficiently, a professional narrator might be justified from post campaign sales. All audiobook backers will receive an audiobook narrated by myself. I have narrated both of the previous books to fair reviews, but would prefer a professional.
