About the Celenic Earth Chronicles
The Celenic Earth Chronicles is an epic fantasy trilogy that immerses readers in the enchanting realm of Celenic Earth—a world shaped by the profound power of the five elements: air, fire, water, earth, and spirit. These elemental forces are intricately woven into the fabric of the story, driving the magic, lore, and challenges faced by the characters. The series follows Shadowolf Degron and his companions as they harness these elemental powers in their quest to protect their world from dark forces.
Windfarer (Book 1)
The journey begins in Windfarer, where Shadowolf is thrust into a world of ancient prophecies, elemental power, and looming threats. The story revolves around the awakening of a mysterious power node, triggered by the rare Masaran Phenomenon that occurs every four years. According to the Prophecy of the Windfarer, this power can only be claimed by someone who has mastered the air element.
Le’Mar, a powerful antagonist, senses the awakening and sends his aVampeyer champion and servant, Mercius the Windfarer, to claim the node. Le’Mar believes this power will strengthen his forces for the impending war he plans to wage.
Meanwhile, Shadowolf faces a growing number of unsettling events:
- At the Azbec College of Elements, the professors and headmaster are acting suspiciously, adding an air of intrigue to his journey.
- The southern wolf tribes are under attack by various types of orcs, forcing Shadowolf to intervene and protect his people.
As these mysterious and dangerous events unfold, Shadowolf becomes deeply entangled in a battle not only to prevent Le’Mar from gaining ultimate power but also to uncover the truth behind the disturbances. Windfarer combines fast-paced action with intricate storytelling, laying the foundation for an epic adventure where the power of the air element plays a pivotal role.
This rich narrative invites readers to delve into the world of Celenic Earth, where prophecies, elemental mastery, and courage collide in an unforgettable tale.

Sadgi (Book 3)
Two years have passed since the War of the Dragons, a devastating conflict that left the people of Celenic Earth broken and defeated. Le’Mar has seized control, ruling with an iron grip, and Shadowolf has vanished once again. Now, in Sadgi, Shadowolf returns, bringing with him a secret that changes everything: he is the prophesied Windfarer, Dragonrider, and Sadgi (the master of all five elements).
A World in Submission
Under Le’Mar’s dominion, the people of Celenic Earth have resigned themselves to their fate. Hope seems lost, and unity is a distant memory. But Shadowolf refuses to accept defeat. Armed with his knowledge of the prophecy and his mastery over air, fire, water, earth, and spirit, he begins a journey to rally the races and creatures of Celenic Earth for one final stand against the Dark Lord.
Rebuilding Bonds and Gathering Forces
Reforming his clan and reconnecting with families torn apart by war, Shadowolf carefully chooses his missions to avoid immediate detection by Le’Mar’s forces.

With former foes, including some of Le’Mar’s former allies, joining his cause, Shadowolf slowly begins to turn the tide.
The Race to the Masaran Phenomenon
As the next Masaran Phenomenon approaches, Le’Mar becomes aware of Shadowolf’s movements. Realizing the threat, the Dark Lord mobilizes his forces, desperate to secure his dominion and eliminate Shadowolf. Le’Mar believes he himself is the true Sadgi and will stop at nothing to protect his rule.
In a dramatic encounter, Shadowolf confronts Le’Mar, declaring that he has always been the chosen one. Shadowolf issues a warning: prepare for the final battle. The stage is set for the ultimate showdown as the masters of the elements prepare for one last confrontation to decide the fate of Celenic Earth.
The Epic Finale
Sadgi is the breathtaking conclusion to the Celenic Earth Chronicles. Packed with twists, revelations, and heart-pounding action, it brings together every thread of prophecy, magic, and destiny.
