Julian Saheed

Julian Saheed's love of fantasy came from reading the works of Raymond E Feist and David Eddings as a youth.

"I grew up in a household with a mother who loved science fiction and fantasy as well as a brother who role played and war gamed. So as you can imagine I grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons (Which I still play every Wednesday) and watching Star Trek (Which I still watch). So it was no surprise that I grew to love Fantasy literature so much."

Dawn of the Valiant is his first published novel and the first in an Epic Fantasy Trilogy that has been developed over many years. It is an idea sparked on a high school camping trip, and developed over many long nights into a vivid and fascinating world full of wonder and drama.
