Breaking Free
Rise of the Dragon Volume 1
by J.E. Maier
Genre: Romance, Drama, Light Urban Fantasy
In her debut novel, J.E. Maier mixes
Korean drama with modern America in this series about fate, love, and
fame.
In this Romance-Drama turned Urban Fantasy, Jenilyn
is a young woman caught in a perpetual state of duality. Of the world
or not of the world, she has always struggled with opposing concepts.
Equivalent to constructively organized chaos, she exists in two
dimensions; an organized, put-together version she shows the world,
and a chaotic, unhinged side she only shows those close to her.
In
the aftermath of a messy divorce, she's staring down the crossroads
of change and thinks she has the next chapter of her life all figured
out. With ten years of unorthodox experience under her belt, she
creates what she believes is the perfect business model, with plans
to move the entire operation to Chicago in a matter of months.
The
only thing she hasn't figured out? Dating in a technological world.
She doesn't know if she wants to find love again, and with her native
language on the verge of extinction, begins to think her late
grandmother was right; she must cast aside the idea of love and
contribute to the matriarchal lineage with a member from the quickly
fading tribe. After all, if love isn't an option, folk preservation
is the next best thing, even if she is only one-fourth
indigenous.
Until a chance encounter changes her life's
trajectory, that is. When the five zany members of an internationally
famous musical group, Blackmirror, walk into her life, her world
quickly gets turned upside down. Fascinated by the group's boyish
charms at a time she's looking to experience the world, she's invited
to attend their concert, where she learns just what it takes for the
five mates to put on a large-production show. Unfortunately, the
joyful moment is cut short when one of the musicians gets injured,
and eager to help as always, she offers her assistance.
Her
counterproductive helpfulness lands her in a meeting with the band's
manager, who surprisingly asks her to join the agency, and following
the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she moves sixty-five hundred
miles away from her home. With the fresh location comes a new job and
a unique living situation, further pushing her boundaries and
limitations. Hellbent on making memories and mistakes, she discards
conventional notions and relishes a bit of calculated hedonism when a
fake romance forces her into the spotlight.
While finding
her footing at a new company, learning the nuances of a foreign
culture, and tail spinning into the fringes of the entertainment
industry, she finds herself embroiled in a cultural conspiracy and
discovers her past might not be what it seemed.

Let’s not waste time falling in love. Let’s rise in love.

J.E. Maier has been dreaming up cinematic stories since she was a girl. With exuberance, she prowled the streets of her hometown, recounting her nightly visions to friends. Soon, her fantasies turned to lyrical prose, scribbling tidbits into the pages of notebooks with no idea how to implement them. In adulthood, she utilized her artistry in the creative industry by getting her hands on any project she could. Unfortunately, Covid had a way of leveling the world, and while confined to her home, her imagination soared, leading her to what she believes is her calling.
