Valerie Willis | Fantasy Romance Author

In The Oracle: Keeper of Gaea’s Gate, I gave Delphyne — Mother of Dragons, pet of Zeus — the myth she deserved. 🐉
One of the hardest battles my crew ever faced.

New Behind the Binding 🐺
In Romasanta: Father of Werewolves, I wrote Nyctimus as Romasanta’s rational best friend… then found out he was real & actually destroyed Boreas Lykaon’s kingdom.
Myth meets fate!

Behind the Binding 🐺
In Romasanta: Father of Werewolves, I blur myth & history—Boreas wasn’t just legend. He was real, a raider who burned villages & inspired tales of fire magic.

Behind the Binding 🐺
In Romasanta: Father of Werewolves, I blended Arthurian, Greek, Celtic & Nordic myth.
What if Fenrir’s chains meant being trapped in a human body—and sparked the werewolf curse itself?

What if vampires came after werewolves? 🐺🩸
In The Cedric Series, vampirism is a mutation of the werewolf curse—a dark superstition that predates the 12th century.
That’s why vampires fear Romasanta...

“Cedric: The Demonic Knight” wasn’t inspired by King Arthur’s tales — it was born from the Russian knight hero legends told around campfires long before Camelot ever existed. 🔥 🖤
