Some worlds wait to be discovered. Others have been waiting for you
Scarlet Hopewell has dreamed about another world her entire life.
When a mysterious blue-eyed puppy named Dakota wanders into her family's lives, those dreams begin to invade reality.
Soon Scarlet discovers talking animals, winged people who sculpt with light, ancient kingdoms, impossible dangers—and a destiny she never dreamed was hers.
"The world building is superb, the writing is not overly simplistic . . . , the pace is never slow and not so fast as to feel rushed. . . . Dwarfs, magical assassins, light-wielding winged people, talking animals, evil magical princes, and more.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐—Amazon reviewer
The Scarlet Hopewell Series
One extraordinary adventure.
Five unforgettable novels.
Meet Brandon Charles West
For more than twenty years, I've served my community as a firefighter and paramedic in Virginia. Throughout those years, I've also been doing something very different—building worlds where courage, wonder, and hope still matter.
I've loved fantasy for as long as I can remember. The stories that stayed with me weren't just about magic; they were about ordinary people discovering extraordinary strength. That's the kind of story I wanted to write.
The Scarlet Hopewell Series begins when a mysterious blue-eyed dog named Dakota wanders into the life of a girl who has spent her entire childhood dreaming of another world.
I'm glad you're here. I hope you'll enjoy exploring Scarlet's world as much as I've enjoyed creating it.
