Beyond Trivar Legendarium
-
A stolen child. A forgotten homeland. A prophecy awakening.
Raised in the southern reaches of Trivar after being taken by pirates, Jaden has never known the northern lands of her birth, only the strange dreams and visions that call her toward the aurora‑lit skies she’s never seen.
When her world is shattered, Jaden escapes on dragon‑back into a dangerous journey across Trivar, battling creatures, the land itself, and the rising evil commanded by Daman, a ruthless lord whose power threatens the realm. Guided by maternal love, ancient prophecy, and the god who speaks through visions, Jaden must confront her own shadow to reclaim her light, and her destiny.
Perfect for fans of epic quests, magical creatures, and richly built worlds, Beyond Trivar launches The Third Daughter Prophecy, a high‑fantasy trilogy filled with adventure, romance, and the timeless battle between light and evil.
A Glimpse Into the Beyond Trivar Universe
The world of Trivar is only the beginning. This novel is part of a mythic, multi‑world legendarium inspired by ancient storytelling traditions and shaped by the author’s Highland ancestry, the Shaws (Wolf Clan), MacDuffs, MacIntoshes, and MacAlpines.
Across the legendarium, readers will encounter:
• Trivar, a realm of kingdoms, ancient magic, and hidden histories
• Arway, a mountain‑ascension world reached only by sacred Nightflights
• Faerieland, where time folds and stories breathe
• Earth, where ancestral echoes and mythic crossings shape destinies
Each story illuminates another, weaving faerietales, reverse timelines, and interconnected worlds into a single mythic tapestry.
The Third Daughter Prophecy
“When the third daughter rises, the light will remember its name.”
This trilogy follows Jaden’s journey through realms of shadow and light, revealing the deeper architecture of Trivar and the ancient faerietales that shape her destiny.
From the Author
L.M. Christenson blends Celtic myth, faerietale magic, ancestral resonance, and Highland longing into a universe built over decades, a constellation of stories where magic is ancient, worlds intersect, and every choice echoes across realms. -

THE THIRD DAUGHTER PROPHECY UNIVERSE
A multi‑world legendarium by L.M. Christenson
WELCOME TO THE THIRD DAUGHTER PROPHECY UNIVERSE
A mythic, multi‑world legendarium rooted in ancient storytelling traditions and shaped by my Scottish Highland ancestry, the Shaws (Wolf Clan), MacDuffs, MacIntoshes, and MacAlpines.
This universe spans:
• three major fantasy series
• multiple interconnected worlds
• interwoven faerietales
• reverse timelines
• ancestral echoes
• mythic crossings between realms
It is not a single story.
It is a constellation of stories - each illuminating another.
-
This universe is for readers who love:
• high fantasy
• mythic storytelling
• ancestral echoes
• time travel
• faerietales
• interconnected worlds
• deep lore
• emotional resonance
• characters who grow across lifetimes
It is a world where:
• magic is ancient
• stories are alive
• worlds intersect
• destiny is layered
• and every choice echoes across realms
THE LORE MAP
A structured overview of how all worlds interconnect
I. THE FOUR PRIMARY REALMS
1. Trivar
• Mortal kingdoms, ancient magic, hidden histories
• Connected to Arway through Nightflights
• Connected to Faerieland through liminal crossings
• Connected to Earth through ancestral resonance
2. Arway
• A mountain‑ascension realm
• Accessible only by Nightflights
• A place of training, revelation, and transformation
• Time moves differently here
3. Faerieland
• A realm of folded time
• Stories breathe here
• Characters appear under different names
• Crossings occur through glades, rivers, thresholds
4. Earth
• The Pacific Northwest (1980s)
• Scotland & Orkney (1920s and earlier)
• Certain families carry the ability to cross
II. THE THREE MAJOR CROSSINGS
1. Nightflights (Trivar ↔ Arway)
• Monarch Eagles
• Sacred glade
• Ascension journeys
2. Liminal Crossings (Trivar ↔ Faerieland)
• Forest thresholds
• Water crossings
• Stone circles
3. Ancestral Crossings (Earth ↔ Faerieland ↔ Trivar)
• Dreams
• Memory
• Bloodline resonance
III. THE TIMELINE WEAVE
Forward Timeline
Trivar Cycle • Arway revelations • Faerieland interventions
Reverse Timeline
PNW 1980s • Scotland 1920s • Orkney ancient past
Origin Timeline
Prequel Cycle • Creation of the realms • First Nightflights • The Great Unification
IV. THE GRAND PATTERN
Trivar = the mortal realm
Arway = the ascension realm
Faerieland = the mythic realm
Earth = the ancestral realm
Each realm holds a piece of the truth.
Only together do they reveal the whole.
-
I. THE TRIVAR CYCLE
High Fantasy • Trivar • Arway • Faerieland
This is the heart of the universe - a sweeping high‑fantasy epic set across:
• Trivar, a world of kingdoms, ancient magic, and hidden histories
• Arway, a mountain‑ascension realm reached only by Monarch Eagles and Nightflights
• Faerieland, where time folds and stories are magical
Nightflights - sacred Monarch Eagles - carry chosen riders from Trivar to Arway, where they learn truths that must be brought back to heal their home world.
Every book contains faerietales woven into the narrative, each a key to the deeper architecture of the worlds.
Book One: Beyond Trivar
Originally published.
New edition releasing Fall 2026.
II. THE PNW TIME‑WEAVE CYCLE
1980s Pacific Northwest • 1920s Michigan’s UP, The PNW & Scotland • Orkney • Faerieland
This series begins in the Pacific Northwest of the 1980s and spirals through:
• time travel to the 1920s
• ancestral memory
• Scottish and Orkney myth
• crossings into Faerieland
• glimpses of Trivar and Arway
It explores how ordinary people become part of extraordinary stories - and how the mythic world touches our own.
III. THE PREQUEL CYCLE
The Great Unraveling • The Deep Lore • The Origin of Worlds
This final series reveals:
• how Trivar, Arway, Faerieland, and Earth intersect
• the true origins of the Nightflights
• the ancient faerietales behind the faerietales
• the hidden identities of characters across timelines
• the great pattern that unites all worlds
It answers every question left open in the first two series - and shows how every story, every world, and every character has been part of a single mythic design.
-
SIGNATURE ELEMENTS OF THE UNIVERSE
Interwoven Faerietales
Every book contains faerietales that echo across worlds and timelines.
Reverse Timelines
Events in one era explain mysteries in another.
Interconnected Worlds
Trivar, Arway, Faerieland, the PNW, Scotland, Orkney - all part of one mythic ecosystem.

The Long Arc
This is a universe built over decades - a tapestry of characters, worlds, and stories that reveal themselves slowly, beautifully, inevitably.
-
THE ANCESTRAL THREADS
Ancient & mythic migrations of the Celtic people. My Highland clans shaping the mythic DNA of the universe:
Shaws - Wolf Clan
Guardians, scouts, watchers of the wild. Their intuition and liminal awareness echo in characters who walk between worlds.
MacDuffs - Keepers of Ancient Rights
The only clan with the right to crown Scottish kings. Their themes of sovereignty and sacred duty appear throughout the arcs.
MacIntoshes - Chiefs of Clan Chattan
Masters of alliance, unity, and resilience. Their influence appears in the interconnected worlds and multi‑family storylines.
MacAlpines - The Old Kings of Scotland
Descendants of Kenneth MacAlpin, unifier of Picts and Scots. Their legacy of unification mirrors the merging of Trivar, Arway, Faerieland, and Earth.

These are the Fantasy Whisper Reading Version of each week's Nature Ambience - for Deep Relaxation in the Colorado Rockies videos - soft, calming narrations layered over scenes from nature.
The fantasy and faerie story books, shared in whispers, will be read week to week until finished. They draw from Celtic myth, legend, faerie story, and my own fantasy novel Beyond Trivar, along with the quiet magic of the land.
What you'll hear: - gentle whisper narration - slow, steady, peaceful - nature views only during the whispering, with no competing sounds - mythic storytelling - ancestral echoes and weekly readings, beginning with Beyond Trivar - creative wellness themes - grounding, breath, sensory calm, seasonal rhythms
These episodes include:

In these calming videos we gather nature footage filmed during each season - a visual journal of the land as it shifts, breathes, and transforms.
These videos are the quiet, living counterpart to the mythic stories I tell on this channel.
Each scene is offered in two forms: - Nature sights and sounds only - pure ambience, no narration - Whisper Version - soft, Fantasy Whisper Stories layered with Ethereal Forest Calm.
What you'll find here - forest magic - moss, water, wind, and green light - seasonal transitions - winter to spring, dusk to dawn - slow living rhythms - gentle pacing, quiet presence - mythic undertones - the land as a living story.
These videos are meant to be watched slowly - as a meditation, a breath, a moment of stillness in your day. Loop for extended relaxation.

I’ve been creating scrap journals, drying rose petals, fall leaves, and even some full flowers for many, many years.
I love gathering beautiful things like my great grandmother did, things that made her smile, and things that meant something to her.
Over the years of homeschooling my children, one of the best times was out exploring nature, or drawing and painting, or gathering petals from the flowers in bloom, for our Charlotte Mason inspired Nature Notebooks.
So, another small corner of Solas Beatha is my Scrap Journal corner, where instead of watching me sit or wander through nature, I invite you to do the same.
There isn’t a better way to embrace the changing seasons, ground your energy and learn to slow down than wandering through the woods, or by a waterfall or the ocean, or take a hike through the hills and mountains, put your feet in a stream or a river, feel the wind on your face, whether its a spring breeze full of promise that summer days are on their way, or a bitter winter wind, experience the change in the weather, the different flora and fauna that ebbs and flows throughout the year.
Yes, one thing that helped heal my soul is connecting to the seasons. And I invite you to join me.
I will post a short 3-5 minute video every week or two with ideas of things you can do in nature or create for a scrap journal of your own.
If you’d like to have the same things I will be using, you can purchase a Seasonal Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter Scrap Journal Box full of magical treasures.
In the Fall we will have a leather journal and in Winter a small watercolor set. Each season, from an equinox to a solstice or from a solstice to an equinox will have its unique treasures, along with a 9oz bag of the tea of the season, and a bit of healing salve to sooth your soul.
So, join us for our short video and share the treasures you find and create each season. Together, we will relearn the rhythms of our ancestors, reconnect to them, ourselves, nature and just might find we are stronger, healthier and happier for it.
Enjoy this magical journey with me.
