Wendigo: Inspiration for the Draoithe Saga 3/16/2025

  Wendigo (click for video) Essays from Draoithe This video results from research into the Wendigo legend involved in the writing of the Kings Wilde miniseries (Coming Soon!) by Ophelia Kee. Writing Urban Fantasy is harder than it looks. Blending elements of actual legends and myths into the weaving of a paranormal romance character is challenging, and it all begins with the research. The dream was crafted to offer elements of folktales and not-so-common belief systems in a world eerily similar to our own. Kings Wilde is a work-in-progress miniseries and one of the main characters is a wendigo. Don't hold your breath on it. I take forever writing the miniseries, and y'all know I can't publish any of it until the whole thing is done. When Nick Wilde started talking in my head, I began researching what he was. He side-eyed me when I asked him and continued rambling about some flaming horse whose love he was mad to win. My job wasn't to ask him questions he didn't want...

March 12, 2025 Sneak Peek at Master of Destiny

  Introduction: This blog features random scenes from works in progress within the Draoithe Saga by Ophelia Kee. These works are primarily urban fantasy and paranormal romance with magical realism, dark themes, and fated mates sprinkled throughout.

But if you enjoy bits and bobs of things yet to come, won't fall in love with a rough version, and want a taste of the dream before the magic coalesces, then you have found the spot.  March 12, 2025 Sneak Peek at Master of Destiny Warning: This is a work in progress and is subject to change at any time.

What Does Draoithe Mean? 3/9/2025

  What Does Draoithe Mean? (click for video) Essays from Draoithe Curious about why I named my epic saga Draoithe? I wonder the same thing. A brief video clip explains what the term means. But it doesn’t quite lend itself to understanding what Draoithe is, exactly. So read on for more. So if it’s an immortal kingdom, what kinds of characters inhabit Draoithe? Immortals, beings with magic, humans, shifters, wizards, demons, dragons, witches, devils, angels, vampires, things you’ve read about in medieval bestiaries, and characters invented just for the nine realms. There are probably beings with magic I haven’t met yet. What are the Nine Realms? It might be easier to show you than explain it by mere words. Some of the characters which inhabit the realms are listed. There are spaces between the realms which are part of the Void, spaces surrounding the realms which are part of Infinity, and there are beings who reside outside of the dream like the elvish lords at Asylum. Are you intri...
