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 Saga

A farmer became a king.
A king must become more.

Zenith and Lemma now sit on their thrones, inexperienced in their rule, but time does not allow them the luxury of learning slowly. Called to aid a friend in need, they return to their journey as two of Rysand's Generals while the Gorge falls into peril and more minions of Rycore begin to wake.

Zenith still seeks to uncover the truth behind the Rysender, while Arath calls for the Generals' aid and uncertainty begins to settle over how many of them can continue. A choice must be made.

As a continent feels the strengthening wrath of a god, the Rysendar Generals must push back against the tides of darkness far from home.

Lemma: The Star At The Beginning

Discover the origin story of the warrior princess who defied destiny

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 and bits of fantasy 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 because I have always been an avid reader of it. I am also a fantasy RPG gamer, with favourites like Final Fantasy, Grandia, and Dragon Quest.

I have also watched anime since growing up in Hong Kong in my formative years. It was my kids' TV, the same way others grew up with shows like Rugrats. I watched Dragon Ball, Studio Ghibli films, and plenty of other anime.

For years, I did not even consider that I could publish. It was always just a hobby, and even this book once felt like that too.

The book took me over ten years to write. It began as an "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 now out, and I have more stories from this world on the way, including the female MC's backstory as a novella and future releases still to come.

I'm also a Functional Neurological Disorder sufferer, diagnosed as NEAD when I was first assessed, alongside other neurological disabilities, which has resulted in me being a stay-at-home dad.

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