As It Began
Let me take you across the Seventh Sea to Rhye, with the novel that started it all.
Forsake the real life.
Embrace the fantasy.
My mission statement is simple: to preserve the legacy of rock icons Queen, through literature and song.
The band's discography is littered with fantasy vignettes and allegory. Sadly, much of the rich lore behind the music went to the grave prematurely with Freddie Mercury. It is my quest to revive and protect the memory of his beloved land of Rhye for a twenty-first century audience.
In my writing journey I have been joined by Queen fans worldwide - from London-based artist Luc Hudson, to French rockers Fat Bottomed Boys. Since its inception in 2019, the Rhye Saga has grown far beyond a simple fairy tale. Most important of all are you the fans - if you love fantasy literature with whimsy and a beating rock-and-roll heart, you can come along!

'Rise of the Black Queen'
- a graphic prequel!
September 2026 will see the latest release in the Rhye Saga - a graphic novel from none other than Luc Hudson. Luc has invested over a year in this incredible project - from studying the art of the graphic novel from masters of the genre, to crafting an exquisite tale, to bringing it to life with his now iconic illustrations. 'Rise of the Black Queen' will tell of how our band of brothers came together ... and how the evil that threatens Rhye first took shape!
