THE JOURNEY OF THE STRANGERS
Book I - The Valdaryn Saga
Two Strangers. Five Dominions. No prophecy. Only Cost
Two strangers. Five Dominions. Brutal betrayals. One dying world.
Ethan Walker and Sara Bellies never believed the stories about the mist, the old man, or the house in the woods. But when the urban legend proved real, they were dragged from Earth and hurled into a world fractured by betrayal and bound by blood-infused magic.
Veslorn is not a land of chosen ones. Here, survival demands sacrifice. As the remnants of old kingdoms stir and dark powers rise to tighten their grip, Ethan and Sara are forced to confront what it means to fight not just for each other, but for a world they never asked to save.
But the deeper they descend into the heart of Veslorn, the more the lines blur between memory and manipulation, between loyalty and deception. In a realm where magic corrupts and even love may betray, the cost of hope could be everything.
The Journey of the Strangers is the haunting first installment in The Valdaryn Saga, a cinematic, character-driven dark fantasy series where illusion is weaponized, survival is brutal, and nothing is what it seems.

Meet the Main Characters
Ethan Walker
The Broken Hero
Sixteen. Alone. Ripped from Earth and thrown into a dying world. Ethan doesn’t know why he’s here. He only knows pain, loss, and the weight of keeping someone else alive. In a world where magic is blood and survival is earned, he’s just trying to hold on to what’s left of himself.
Sara Bellies
The Unyielding Protector
She’s stubborn. Smart. The kind of girl who never backs down—especially when she should. Sara didn’t ask to be dragged into Veslorn. But now that she’s here, she refuses to become another victim of it. With Ethan at her side, she’s fighting to find a way home… even as this broken world starts to change them both.
