In my world, touching the wrong book spine could rewrite history. After finishing the Bk 2 blood draft, I’m back in the quiet work of editing. It’s not about the rush; it’s about the weight of the legacy. 75 ideas. One vision. 🖋️✨ #guyaguild #WritingAlchemist #StillInQueryingTrenches #ThisIsNOTEasy

A grand, circular dining hall with a high domed ceiling and dark, green-veined marble floors. A long, sleek black table is centered in the room, surrounded by eleven towering gold statues representing the animals of the moiety: Baboon, Buffalo, Cat, Cobra, Crocodile, Dolphin, Pig, Ram, Scorpion, Falcon, and Horse. Glowing floral chandeliers hang from the ceiling, casting a warm light over the figures seated at the table and the massive stone arches surrounding them.

Book 2 now exists. Not polished,not perfect, but real. The blood draft is done, and every page carries the weight of showing up when it wasn’t easy. Now I step into the muscle draft, aka, editing. Turning what’s written into what it’s meant to be. #guyaguild #WritingAlchemist

This year stretched me. Refined me. Sharpened the way I move and the way I write. As another year of life approaches, I’m not rushing it. I’m meeting it steady. The pen is ready. So am I. ✨ #WritingAlchemist #GuyaMaican #StillWriting #CreativeDiscipline #TheGuyaGuild #BirthdayEnergy

The trenches aren’t glamorous. Neither is discipline. But the pages are turning. The letters are sent. And the vision hasn’t moved. Consistency is louder than doubt. #WritingAlchemist #AmQuerying #AuthorLife #TheGuyaGuild #StillWriting

Creativity needs fuel. Writing needs rhythm. And apparently my playlists need to be respected. If the words are moving and the music is hitting, I’m doing something right. Back to the page. #WritingAlchemist #KPopBrainrot #AuthorLife #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild

Recovery has its own pace, and I’m learning to honor it. Some days it’s a page. Some days it’s a sentence. Some days it’s just opening the document and breathing. But every gentle step is still movement. Still momentum. Still mine. #WritingAlchemist #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild #HealingAndCreating

These past few weeks have been about slowing down, listening inward, & letting the body lead. Recovery reminded me that healing doesn’t always roar—it can whisper, glow, and teach you softness in the process. Here’s to gentler power. 🌙 #WritingAlchemist #HealingIsAlchemy #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild

Tomorrow is Lion’s Gate — a cosmic alignment for expansion, clarity, and stepping into what you’ve been building for lifetimes. For me, that means more than just writing. It’s writing with intention. Every scene, every character, every twist is a spell cast for the future I’m walking into.

Guya Maican (is querying ✍️🏾📚) @guyamaican.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

I have officially entered the querying trenches. No panic. No noise. Just precision. Alignment. Intention. May the right 1s feel the fire behind the pages. May the rest step aside. #WritingAlchemist #QueryingAuthor #TheGuyaGuild #FantasyWriter #BlackAuthorMagic #LegacyInProgress #AlchemyInMotion

Ok real quick— Yes, I missed last week. I got my edits back from my editor & fully disappeared n2 the work. One blink later, it was the weekend. I didn’t forget y’all. I just time-traveled through revision mode. 💻🔥 Now I’m back—with 2 many ideas, not enough bodies, and the same fire driving it all.

Threads of Aerythel: Dragonfly is a 126,000-word dark epic fantasy. It is the first in a planned trilogy but stands alone with a complete narrative arc. It is a character-driven tri-perspective novel for an adult audience. #QuestPit #Q #A #DF #LGBT

A lost heir, a hunted woman, and a fallen sigilbearer unravel forbidden truths in a world where magic is bound by faith and prophecy. As allegiances shift and ancient forces awaken, they must defy their destiny or be consumed by it.

Genre: Dark Epic Fantasy
POV: Tri-Perspective
Audience: Adult

Subgenres:
Political Fantasy
Gothic Fantasy
Sapphic Romantic Fantasy
Mystery

Word count: 126k
Prose Style: Literary leaning, atmospheric and gothic undertones with heavy subtext. Writing that trusts the reader.

Core themes:
Love and possession
Power
Truth and deception
Legacy
Moral ambiguity

The novel blends the political intrigue and sapphic themes of The Jasmine Throne (2021), the multi-POV complexity of The Shadow of the Gods (2021), and the atmospheric tension and moral ambiguity of Empire of the Vampire (2021).

In a world where magic is bound by doctrine, power, and belief, the ruins of the holy city of Cael’Thorin remain buried beneath ice and time, its secrets long forgotten—until now.
Isolde Ridelle has spent her life in the quiet village of Rosewater, far from war and the unseen forces that shape the empire of Delheim. When she is hunted for reasons she does not understand, she is thrust into a world of forbidden magic, shifting allegiances, and a legacy she never asked for.
Elara Eastwell, a devoted weaver bound by sacred oaths, uncovers secrets that threaten the very foundation of her order. The deeper she delves, the more she is forced to ask whether upholding her vows is worth the cost—or if breaking them is the only way to protect what truly matters.
As Sigilbearer of The Circle, Aleric Belmont is no stranger to power, but the ruins hold more than redemption. When old sins resurface, he must decide whether atonement is within his grasp or if it was never his to claim.
As their paths converge, Isolde, Elara, and Aleric become entwined in a divine conflict that will challenge their beliefs, test their loyalties, and unravel long-buried truths.
