Magic, Romance, and Fantasy


Welcome to the Draoithe Saga Fictional Nonfiction Podcast. This is a series of essays discussing the research, character creation, and story elements from tales within the dream. The dream is a fictional world eerily similar to our own, but with magic and all the characters from myth, legends, and folktales hidden in plain sight. Each essay chooses a single element to explore and includes references from stories written by Ophelia Kee, as well as factual research, inspirational materials, and author insights.

Sneak Peek at Kings Wilde 1/15/2025

  Draoithe Preview Chapters 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. Here you will find scenes which are yet to be published as of the time of posting, and these chapters may require further editing. It's a look behind the curtain, a sneak peek if you will, at scenes from stories Ophelia Kee is currently drafting.  If you want polished complete stories, this is not the right place. 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.  January 15, 2025 Sneak Peek at Kings Wilde Warning: This is a work in progress and is subject to change at any time.

Some feed on animals, others on humans, and still others feed on their own kind and other immortals. -Excerpt from A Treatise on the Vampire's Nature, Duncan O' Sullivan Vampires: Villains, Heroes, and Bloodlust  Vampires have long enthralled audiences with their dark allure and insatiable appetite for blood, and represent a complex mixture of seduction, danger, and moral ambiguity. The Draoithe Saga often portrays vampires as unlikely heroes, antiheroes, and tragic victims. As dark urban fantasy and steamy paranormal romances, the stories set in the dream usually offer sexy vampires as main characters who find love and ultimately join the fight to balance the magic of the dream and preserve their eternal existence. But what happens when rogue vampires succumb to bloodlust? In the modern dream, vampires live in enclaves, ruled by powerful vjestice vampire princesses. ...

Incubus and Succubus Research 1/19/2025

  Incubus and Succubus Research Essays from Draoithe “I don’t care how dangerous it is. This isn’t living. I watch all my people barely survive. We constantly fight the slug incursions and lose more of us. There’s no happiness here. So long as I remain unbalanced, so, too, does the entire house.” -Sandor Liderk, living in squalor at Talamh Marcra, 2010 In Tantalu, the prequel tale in the Draoithe Saga by Ophelia Kee, readers meet Sandor Liderk, the Prince of the House of Liderk and the owner of Tantalu Ostain. Liderk is an ancient incubus demon family which rivaled the House of Incubai for power in the Netherworld. A war with the Satyrs nearly eradicated all incubus demons from the dream. With the remnants of the House of Liderk forced to live in poverty at Talamh Marcra, Prince Liderk sought a way to reunify his people and risked everything on rebuilding in the Leaindeail. It's a twisted fairytale meant for adults. But what are incubus demons? How did Ophelia Kee write these ...
