~From Dream to Pages: How I Brought My Fantasy World to Life

Ever since I was a child, stories were my escape. I found myself dreaming of worlds beyond this one—worlds filled with magic, danger, honor, and heartbreak. But like many dreamers, I never thought I’d actually write one of those stories


Fast forward to today, and here I am, sharing my debut fantasy novel with you
Echoes of The Astral War: Book One Vatika
Echoes of The Astral War: Book One Vatika is more than just a book to me. It’s the result of late nights, rewrites, doubts, and the quiet belief that someone out there might care about these characters as much as I do

I wrote this book for readers who love
Epic quests that feel deeply personal

Characters who carry both swords and secrets

Magic that comes with a price

And above all, a world you can disappear into

Publishing independently wasn’t easy. I didn't have a big publisher or a team—just a passion for storytelling and a wild hope that readers might discover this little world I built

Right now, the book is free on Kindle. Not because I think it's worth nothing—but because I want to give readers a chance to discover it without hesitation. If you enjoy it, your review or word of mouth would mean the world


Thank you for giving an indie author a shot. I truly hope you find something in these pages that stays with you

A Dream Between the Stars – My First Fantasy Novel

A Dream Between the Stars – My First Fantasy Novel

Dear friends and fellow book lovers,

Ever since I was young, fantasy stories offered me a kind of escape — a place where the impossible felt real, and every battle, friendship, or whispered prophecy meant something beyond the page.

After years of dreaming, writing, deleting, doubting, and dreaming again… I’ve finally taken the leap and released my debut novel:
✨ Echoes of the Astral War – Book One: Vatika
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCD1H2LG

It’s a cosmic tale of memory, destiny, and war — a young man haunted by visions, a mysterious warrior named Vatika, and a universe on the edge of unraveling.

If you enjoy:

Deep character journeys

Celestial magic and world-shifting lore

Unexpected mysteries beyond time
…then this story might be for you.

You can find it here on Goodreads:

If you do decide to check it out, I would love to hear your thoughts — even a simple rating or note means the world to a new writer like me.
And if not, thank you anyway for being part of this amazing reading community. 🌙

A small glimpse from the story:

"The stars do not remember names... but they remember choices. And one day, even time will kneel to what you become." ✨
