Teen Author Self-Publishes Fantasy with Heart | Limerick News

Eighteen-year-old Leonard Engels just unleashed his debut novel, Verenig, self-published on Amazon KDP — and it’s already making waves. Set in the war-torn continent of Nordeirland, this gripping fantasy follows Prince Anton, banished and broken, and Lev, a brilliant inventor racing to win his military father’s approval — only to stumble upon a discovery that could change everything. Told with raw emotion and depth, the story tackles grief, redemption, and the true cost of leadership. What started as a dragon-filled fantasy evolved into a powerful tale of hope after Engels reimagined his vision during a tough year. With mentorship from Oslo Culloo and a call to let go of hate, Anton learns what real power looks like. Engels chose KDP for its creative freedom, calling the experience “the greatest honor” — and Verenig is now available in ebook and paperback.
