Volume 1

Awaken The King : The Fall and the Fire

Awaken The King: The Fall and The Fire” begins with a kingdom burning. A man consumed by rage and betrayal stands at the edge of everything he’s ever known, watching the world fall to ash. In the wreckage, something stirs, a flicker of rebellion, a whisper of fire refusing to die.

As the flames spread, the line between enemy and savior blurs, and survival becomes war. Shadows close in, alliances fracture, and power is bought with blood!  Rebellion isn’t noble here, it’s necessary!

Volume 2

Old wounds bleed. The rebellion grows louder as the line between redemption and destruction blurs. In a world built on ruin and rage, he must decide what will rise from the fire: the man who burned or the King forged in it.

Reviews & Testimonials

Mara Ishikawa “It’s a story that transforms you.”

Awaken The King: The Fall and The Fire is unlike any intense memoir I’ve read in years. It begins small, with a broken soul caught between rage and memory, and then suddenly expands into something massive. This is an epic fantasy novel with the heart of a memoir. The prose feels cinematic, but the story always stays grounded in its characters. Cannot wait for Volume 2!

Rafael Costa “A haunting, emotional fantasy read!”

From the first page, the fire feels real. Not literal flame (though there’s plenty of that), but the fire of anger, loss, and purpose. Brendon David writes like someone who has seen the edge of things and lived to speak of it. A gripping start to what promises to be a powerful fantasy book for adults!

Clara Mokoena “So Raw and Intense!”

This book doesn’t rush. It allows the story to smolder until the emotional heat is undeniable. Fans of deep, character-driven work will appreciate how closely this book holds to its protagonist. This is a thoughtful and gripping continuation of a book series grounded in personal transformation.

Nikhil Sharma “Brutal yet unforgettable.”

A charming emotional fantasy read that really gets under your skin and stays.

Riley Morgan “Dark, introspective, and beautifully layered.”

This is not a typical fantasy. It’s quieter, more personal, and all the more powerful because of it. It’s the internal struggle that steals the spotlight. The rebellion builds slowly, fueled by memory and pain, making the conclusion feel earned. A strong opening to a promising dark fantasy book series.

I felt like every scar, every spark was super real! So mesmerizing!

Helena Richter “Like watching someone climb out of their own ashes.”

This book surprised me. I expected an epic fantasy novel full of battles and magic, but what I found was more intimate. The story has purpose. It’s an emotional experience that unfolds like a memory. The language is striking, the emotions raw, and the sense of rising through fire never lets go. I finished the last page and needed the next volume immediately.
