Alex Rosen is a writer of action-oriented sci-fi and fantasy, known for his strong character-driven plots, sharp humor, and an unflinching look at the darker corners of human nature. He began his craft on the fanfiction scene in 2011 and has remained an active contributor to the fanfiction community. These fan works, some of which have developed dedicated followings and documentation on sites like Tv Tropes, can be found under his internet handles Draconic Hero 20 and Draconic Hero 21 on Fanfiction dot net and Archive of Our Own.
He graduated in May of 2013 from Bloomsburg University where, while pursuing a degree unrelated to creative writing, he attributes much of what he's learned about fiction writing--outside of trial and error--to a single creative writing class he took there.
Rise of the Draconic Hero marks the beginning of Alex's professional career--and by his own word, neither his original fiction nor his fan projects are stopping anytime soon.
Rise of the Draconic Hero by Alex Rosen
Ryan Martin has always believed in doing the right thing—even if it means crossing the line to protect others.
After a deadly enemy forces him to flee home, Ryan is recruited by SASHA, an organization that handles threats beyond the reach of ordinary society. He believes he’s finally been given the chance to become the hero he always imagined he could be.
Instead, he discovers a world where justice is complicated, and morality refuses to divide itself neatly into heroes and villains.
Waiting for Ryan is also a reunion with Violet, the childhood friend he thought he’d lost forever. Shaped by manipulation and violence, Violet finds herself standing at the same crossroads as him.
Because in the America they live in, being a hero isn’t just about standing up for what’s right—it’s about how you stand up for it.
