Jeffrey Ivan Wright has lived many years in a strange world. It’s an escape place in his mind where the characters are not from here. That fantasy world has made its way to the written word in the form of a book. Jeffrey’s first book, Chains Of Kings, is a work of fiction with plans that it will be the first in a trilogy.

Jeffrey is a musician by trade, founder of an entertainment business, Jeffrey Wright Music, that creates, hosts, and participates in festivals, concerts, music events, community events, theatre performances, fundraisers, and expanding further into recording and production.

Chains Of Kings
A World Shattered. An Ancient Evil Awakens. A War Unforeseen.
The world of Ulchir is ablaze, its villages destroyed by the ruthless Savages. Acolytes are resurrecting Wheyla Uhn, a monstrous, ancient god. Young Darius, fueled by vengeance and a terrifying, awakening power, sets off to avenge his family caused by their destruction. Sacha, a fierce warrior from the northern city of Gad, fights to survive in a world torn by political uncertainty. Jorge, a young man, in a desperate quest for hope falls into slavery. Each on their own path to survive, quickly unearths the truth behind the chains that bind the kings of their world.
A gripping tale of desperate heroes, dark magic, and a world on the brink of annihilation.
