A Father's Heartbreak
When I wrote Dragon Unbound, Leia's story stuck in my mind, haunting me.
Too Real
It's too real, how one could be so busy chasing life's pursuits, even noble causes, that one neglects one's kids.
The Danger of Misunderstanding
Misunderstandings can lead to bitterness, which can be exploited by wolves in sheep's clothing.
A Warning in Fiction
Dragon Unbound explores this painful reality through Leia's relationship with her father. He's pursuing noble goals, serving the King, doing "important" work—but in the process, he's losing his daughter.
Universal Themes
This isn't just a fantasy story. It's a reflection of real-life struggles many families face:
- Work-life balance
- Prioritizing relationships over achievements
- The consequences of emotional neglect
- How the enemy uses our weaknesses
Why It Haunts Me
Leia's story haunts me because I've seen it play out in real life. Good people, doing good things, but missing what matters most—their children's hearts.
Read Dragon Unbound and discover how this father's heartbreak unfolds—and whether reconciliation is possible.
