The Jade Pandora book cover

The Legend Begins

When Zenith of Grissam inherits the Echidna Flame, an ancient sword forged in the war of creation, he's drawn into a battle far beyond his fields. Joined by Lemma of Sciran, and Cathal of Vastuk.

Zenith discovers their weapons are part of the legendary Rysendar—three relics whose united power can end the rising darkness… or unleash it.

"As twisted creatures stalk the land and an ancient god stirs from his prison, alliances will be tested, legends will awaken, and the fate of two kingdoms will rest on the choices of reluctant heroes."

Perfect for fans of high fantasy epics, richly built worlds, and fast-paced quests, The Jade Pandora is the gripping first chapter in a saga of loyalty, legacy, and the unbreakable bonds forged in war.

The Jade Pandora Series

A Divine Weapon.
A Destiny Rejected.

A divine weapon linked to the gods themselves, the Star of Sciran decides who will be the next Queen.

Lemma, the next heir, rejects the decorum and the forced nature of being royal. She may have been born a princess, but she chooses the life of a warrior.

Naturally empathetic and granted the ability to see inside the souls of those who have become tainted, she trains daily to ready herself for the day she may need to fight a god and his creations.

When her people call, she will always answer—no matter the distance she travels.

The Mind Behind the Fantasy

Hi, I’m Andy, the author of The Jade Pandora: Two Kings One Throne. So why do I write? you, ask? The truth is, I've always written short stories, etc, since I was about 11 or 12 years old when I met an author at school and spent the day doing what they used to call a writing master class. I write fantasy-based books/stories because I've always been an avid reader of fantasy. Additionally, I am a fantasy RPG gamer, with favourites like Final Fantasy, Grandia, and Dragon Quest. Then, I have always watched Anime since I grew up in Hong Kong in my formative years. It was my kids’ TV, like you watched Rugrats. I watched Dragon Ball, Studio Ghibli movies, and other anime.

For years, I didn’t even consider that I could publish; it was always just a hobby, even this book seemed like that at one point.

The book took me over ten years to write; it began as a I want to write a book type project and had many, many stop-start moments along the way.

In recent months, thanks to the people I have met and my biggest fan and critic (my wife), I've finally managed to complete, edit, and release it. It is the first of hopefully many projects I have in the works.

Book two is my current WIP alongside the Story of the female MC’s back story as a novella. (Hopefully edited and out soon.)

I’m also a Functional Neurological Disorder suffer (AKA NEAD wen I was diagnosed) along with other neurological disabilities, thus resulting in me being a stay-at-home dad.

If you have read this far I thankyou for taking the time to get to know me and my background.
