Birth of the Fae: Locked out of Heaven
Book 1, Volume 1
by Danielle M. Orsino
Genre: Fantasy 

Picture
Ride on the backs of fire breathing dragons with the Dark Fae and watch the Light Fae play in the shadows of primitive humanity as they build their magical world.

Abandoned by their creator, two factions of powerful angels remain on earth after the Great War with Lucifer. They struggle to comprehend their Creator’s plan while their angel wings, a symbol of their angelic lineage, slowly and painfully decay. With no hope of returning to the Shining Kingdom, two groups of angels denounce their angelic lineage and develop into separate factions - the Court of Light, led by Queen Aurora, a former Virtue Angel, and the Court of Dark, ruled by King Jarvok, a former Power Brigade Angel. The two monarchs have opposing views on how to govern their kin, but the one belief they agree on is that human worship equals power.
Birth of the Fae: Locked Out of Heaven is an epic fantasy adventure of heartbreak, rebirth, and hope that examines the bonds of family, friendship, and love. It is a fantastic tale of good vs evil in a beautiful world, where the Light Fae and their potent elemental magick are tested by the raw power of the dragon riding Dark Fae warriors.

​Chapter Twenty-Six: “Worship Equals Power”

"To be a creature of chaos is to be used by the energy of disorder, to be a tool of it. You are allowing confusion to lead you. I want more for us. We will take control of the pandemonium. Those who control chaos control their destiny. Do not let it lead you like a pet on a leash."
King Jarvok turned and walked to the window, hands behind his back. “Now go, and Chaos be with you, Zion.” Zion smirked. His blue eyes glowed with comprehension as his shoulders pulled back. “No, my liege. Chaos be with us.” He turned and ran with a renewed vigor for his mission.
Jarvok curled his lip for a moment as he gazed out the window at Zion’s enthusiasm, but his stoic expression returned. He waited for the bang of the heavy doors to exhale. His shoulders slumped as the weight of his rule took him under. He leaned his hands on the window, the magma crumbling and sliding from his palms as the pressure caused small fissures to appear in the sill. His head hung low, his hair falling to his face as he raised his honey eyes looking out over the training yard. They would need to train every day and even do night formations. No rest.
The scent of cedar and sage wafted up from the bonfires below. He knew his plan to attack was sound but his timeline was of concern. If Aurora continued to gather and unify her human worshippers, she could have the magick to overtake his kin and force them into serving the Virtues as their army. The thought of his kin living a life of servitude caused Jarvok to force the acid back down his throat. No, he would not risk anyone gaining the upper hand over him. He had hidden his kin in his Veil, established them as gods to the humans, and formed an alliance with the Draconians. He would not force the Draconians to fight alongside him against Aurora but if they chose to stand with him he would accept their help.
He had been strategic in observing her, watching and waiting. She was a naive, idealistic, egotistical ruler with no battle experience. An almost certain victory. By making an example out of Aded, the humans would fear his kin and as Jarvok had learned, it was better to be feared than loved. One just needed to ask his Creator.

Destined to be a writer from a young age, Danielle M. Orsino was working as a nurse and treating a patient who needed some distraction during long I.V. treatment sessions. So, Orsino reached back to a forgotten skill, a childhood dream, Danielle had wanted to be a writer and so she decided to tell a story. Little did she know the seed would grow into a fantastically epic adventure of heartbreak, hope and rebirth -- Birth of Fae: Locked Out of Heaven. Drawing from her passion for comic books, Cosplay and fantasy along with her expert martial arts expertise, Orsino brings forth an electric and hopeful debut.

Danielle is embarking on her biggest challenge to date: taking the story born from the long treatment sessions with a patient into a fantasy book series-Birth of the Fae: Locked out of Heaven. Expanding her love of writing, comics and exploring the world of fantasy novels, she delves into the realm of fairies and retells their origins from a completely new perspective.
Orsino has a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise science and is an LPN with a special interest in Lyme disease research. Orsino has been widely recognized from her influence and experience in martial arts realm, training for over 20 years and with over 500 tournament wins, and accumulating national and world titles. She has performed for former President of the United States Bill Clinton and has been featured on "Soap Talk, Fox Five news CBS, TLC and E! With this experience, she worked as a Fight Choreographer on "Wonder Woman: Balance of Power" and has worked with the likes of martial arts legend Vincent Lyn and WWE marvel and action star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Nothing Danielle ever does is simple, look at what NY times Bestselling author Clete Barrett Smith has to say about her debut endeavor: "After summoning this world into existence through an imaginative force of will, Danielle has scoured every inch of the landscape several times over. Critics often praise a story's world building by saying that it feels "lived in." Well, the world of the Fae certainly seems like that because Danielle herself has happily lived there for years as she worked to put all of this together...My favorite part of this story is that it is gloriously depicted in vibrant images."

Where do dragons come from?

The inspiration for my dragons came from a most unusual place. A little Yorkshire Terrier with the big ears and a Cheweenie with an even bigger stomach. They are my dogs, the Yorkshire Terrier is named Carlos, but once you read Birth of the Fae: Locked out of Heaven, you will come to know him as "Los" the chameleon dragon. His sister Penelope, the Cheweenie you will meet later on in the series as "Lady Penelope" a member of the Aubane Faction of Fae. ​
​
Picture
You may be asking yourself how did a Yorkie inspire a dragon? Well the answer is not that simple, Carlos is not your typical pup. He is a puppy-mill dog, born with some major medical issues, some I kept in his dragon persona. However, Carlos's heart and determination make him a dragon. I took those qualities and built the Draconian society around it. I wanted the dragons to be a fully realized and functioning society, not pets or weapons of destruction. I felt dragons deserved more than to be magical creatures who are always feared or looking to be controlled. ​
Picture
Now the physical traits of my fire, acid and ice breathing dragons those were a bit more difficult. I searched out my Veterinarian Dr. Gil Stanzione of Dakota Vet for some guidance. I built my dragons from the inside out, the digestive system to be exact. How? Well bacteria played a big part but I can't give away all my secrets or else you won't read the book! Now I know your next question is how do they fly? For that I enlisted the assistance of engineering students at Westchester Community college and with the help of Professor Ioannou(and my own little theory regarding thermals and the Albatross) I have dragons who are not the size of 747's that can fly or at least glide. So jump on the back of one of these dragons and take a ride into the Veil!
