TOMORROW is the Day — The Temporal Scythe Releases June 10th!

It's my birthday, it's Liam Hale's birthday, and...

If you attended the 2025 Nebula Awards Conference—either in Kansas City or online—you might’ve noticed something special in your Nebula Book Bag: a copy of The Pandora’s Box, Book One of my YA sci-fi fantasy series, The Conjurer’s Prophecy Trilogy.

Yes, that was me.

I’m incredibly honored to have donated 100 physical copies and made unlimited digital downloads available to support our amazing science fiction and fantasy community. As a proud member of the SFWA, giving back to the readers, writers, and creators who keep speculative fiction alive means the world to me.

If The Pandora’s Box landed in your hands, I hope Liam Hale’s journey resonated with you. It’s the story of a socially awkward, grieving teenager who receives an encrypted message from his recently deceased mother and discovers he’s not just a boy—but a demigod. From that moment, everything changes.

He enters a magical world, uncovers secrets that cost his mother her life, and embarks on a mission to retrieve the legendary Pandora’s Box to restore balance between good and evil.

But that was only the beginning.

In Book Two, The Oberon Stone, time fractures. The living and the dead collide. Friendships are tested. The prophecy falls apart.

And now… the end is here.


_________________________________________________________________________________

Book Three, The Temporal Scythe, officially launches TOMORROW, June 10th!

This is the final installment. The moment I’ve been writing toward for years. The stakes are higher than ever as Liam must journey to Tartarus, confront Chronos, the Olympian god of time, and face not only gods and devils—but the consequences of every choice he’s made.

This trilogy has been my heart’s work. A genre-blending tale of YA sci-fi and fantasy, rich with mythology, adventure, grief, love, rebellion, and redemption. It’s fast-paced, emotional, and layered with mystery and spiritual undertones. If you read The Pandora’s Box, I invite you to keep going.


The Temporal Scythe is not just a finale.
It’s a reckoning!

And I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.

With all my heart,
—LS Franco

  The Journey Behind the Pages Hi everyone, Writing has always been my way of understanding the world—or perhaps escaping it, just a little. When I was younger, I’d get lost in the pages of books, imagining myself in faraway lands, wielding magic, or standing bravely where the heroes stood. Back then, I never imagined I’d someday be creating those worlds myself. Yet, here I am, pouring my heart into stories that I hope will inspire, thrill, and maybe even challenge you. When I started  The Conjurer’s Prophecy  trilogy, the idea felt like a flicker—a small spark of a story. I didn’t know it would grow into this sprawling adventure filled with danger, hope, and complex characters who feel so real to me now. But as the pages piled up, so did my conviction: this was a story worth telling. Not because it was perfect, but because it was raw, honest, and a little messy—kind of like life itself. I think that’s the beauty of storytelling. It doesn’t have to be flawless. It just ha...

  On Stories, Imagination, and the Worlds We Build Hello, dear readers, Have you ever stopped to think about how a single story can ripple outward, creating connections far beyond what we imagined when we first put pen to paper? Writing, for me, is not just a craft—it’s a doorway to countless possibilities. Every word, every chapter, every character is a thread in a tapestry (oops—scratch that word,  no tapestries here!  😉). When I began writing  The Conjurer’s Prophecy  trilogy, I had no idea how much it would shape not only my imagination but also the way I look at the world. Each book has been a challenge—a battle, even. There were times I doubted myself, times I wanted to set the manuscript aside and “just think about it tomorrow.” But the love for storytelling, and for the chance to connect with readers like you, kept me going. Through  The Pandora’s Box  and  The Oberon Stone , and now as I prepare to share  The Temporal Scythe  w...

Why I Write Fantasy Worlds – A Journey from Children’s Books to RPGs and Beyond From my earliest days, storytelling felt like a natural part of me. I started with children’s books—not just reading them but creating them. I’d write the stories I wanted to read, ones with worlds and characters that felt as magical as anything I could imagine. I’d even illustrate them, bringing my ideas to life on every page. There was something powerful about the feeling of finishing a story and holding it in my hands, even if it was just for me. As I got a bit older, poetry became my passion. I poured my thoughts into lines and rhymes, sometimes daydreaming in class and writing poems in the margins of my notebooks. I wanted to share my work, to see it resonate with others the way it did for me. But I was too young to join the local poetry competitions; they had age restrictions that kept me from the stage. Still, I’d go to the events, watch others recite their poems, and feel the thrill of being part of...
