World Of Ryyah: Donnagarian Age, Lord of Wealth
Kevin Drayton lands in Ryyah and turns finance, court pressure, uneasy alliances, and political nerve into a kingdom-shaping gamble.
Overview
Kevin Drayton is torn from Earth into the mystical realm of Ryyah during the Donnagarian Age, where leverage can be as disruptive as magic. As he builds a banking empire inside a world of court intrigue, alliance tension, romantic pressure, and approaching war, his influence grows faster than the kingdom’s power to contain it. Lord of Wealth is an epic fantasy about ambition, responsibility, emotional stakes, and the danger of changing a realm before its rulers agree on what the future should be.

Prelude excerpt: sourced from the local manuscript files and condensed for web preview.
In the year 4671 of the Elven Age, Scholar Elyn stood before the grand archives of Donagar, the capital of the Donnagarian Empire. As a historian, he had been granted rare access to these hallowed halls, tasked with compiling a comprehensive account of the nation’s tumultuous past. The weight of centuries seemed to press down upon him as he pushed open the heavy oak doors, their ancient hinges creaking under the strain. The cold stone façade of the building reflected the pale, late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the cobblestone streets.
As Elyn stepped inside, the smell of ancient parchment and polished wood greeted him, mingling with the faint scent of old ink and musty scrolls. The air was still and reverent, the silence interrupted only by the occasional rustling of pages or the soft footsteps of scribes moving through the endless rows of towering shelves. Warm lamplight flickered against the marble floors, casting a gentle glow in the otherwise dim chamber.
