Daddy's Little Legends: The Witherland Chronicles Part 1

Four traumatized prey animals. One lethal world of predators. Survival requires absolute trust. A luxury none of them can afford.

In a realm ruled by giants, four small creatures are swept into a grueling wilderness journey. Each carries a wound they cannot name and a fear they cannot outrun:

The Freeze (Hushka the Mouse): Haunted by her family’s slaughter, she paralyses when danger nears.The Flight (Dash the Rabbit): Burdened by survivor's guilt, he runs before he can ever be caught.The Fight (Aegis the Hedgehog): Hardened by betrayal, he lashes out with his quills to keep the world at bay.The Fawn (Wren the Songbird): Conditioned by captives, she survives by obsessively pleasing the powerful.

They should be natural allies, but their instinctual defenses clash. In a hostile landscape where shadows conceal lethal threats, the very mechanisms keeping them alive may ultimately get them killed.

To survive the trek to the mythic Morrowlands, they must break their defensive cycles and construct a framework of absolute safety from scratch; learning the language of boundaries, the weight of consent, and the courage it takes to finally let someone in.

A Note for Adult Readers: Book 1 of a 7-book allegorical fantasy series.

Inspired by the author’s lived experience in 24/7 power exchange, this dark yet tender fairytale explores the visceral journey of trauma recovery through non-erotic themes of consent, structure, dynamic power, and emotional growth. A story for anyone who has ever needed to feel small to feel safe and is learning that there is no shame in finding sanctuary.
