Synopsis/Details
Riders of the West wind opens with a breathtaking aerial shot of a vast, sun-scorched desert, punctuated by towering rock formations. The camera zooms in on a lone rider, silhouetted against the blazing horizon. It’s Boone Maverick, a grizzled, charismatic dragon wrangler, astride his colossal, fiery mount. The scene is a pulse-pounding display of the symbiotic relationship between humans and dragons. We are introduced to Boone's world, a harsh and unforgiving landscape where dragons are not just creatures of myth but integral to survival. Boone and his loyal sidekick, Zeke, are shown wrangling a particularly stubborn dragon, showcasing their unique skills and the inherent dangers of their profession. The narrative shifts to introduce the Kore, a highly disciplined, dragon-riding military order. We meet Scarlett Malone, a young, ambitious Kore rider, determined to prove herself. Her world is one of rigid hierarchy and unwavering loyalty to the Empire. A parallel storyline unfolds among the First People, a nomadic tribe living in harmony with nature. We meet Anya, a spirited young woman with a deep connection to the land and its creatures. Her people have a long-standing, uneasy truce with the Kore. As the episode progresses, the paths of Boone, Scarlett, and Anya begin to converge. A mysterious disturbance in the dragon migration pattern becomes the catalyst for their intersecting destinies. A young dragon, unlike any seen before, is discovered, and its presence triggers a chain of events that will shake the foundations of their world. The episode culminates in a dramatic confrontation between a Kore patrol and a group of First People. As tensions escalate, a colossal, ancient dragon awakens, its roar echoing through the desert. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the pilot concludes with a cliffhanger as the dragon takes flight, leaving our protagonists to face an uncertain future. The final shot is a wide expanse of the desert, now shrouded in an ominous twilight, with the silhouette of the awakened dragon dominating the horizon.

I’ve always been a storyteller. As a kid, I’d lose myself in worlds woven from the threads of imagination. My room was a kingdom, my toys, valiant knights. I’d spend hours crafting epic sagas, my voice a hushed whisper in the twilight. Little did I know, those whispered tales were the first drafts of a life dedicated to ink and paper. Twenty years ago, a spark ignited within me. The child’s dream of weaving magic with words transformed into a burning ambition. New York City, with its relentless pulse and endless possibilities, became my muse. The city’s gritty reality and towering dreams mirrored the worlds I crafted. Here, amidst the chaos and creativity, I began my journey as a writer. My… Go to bio
