The legend of Tal Harrenfel is sung across the Westreach - and with each telling, the tales grow taller. But though he's declared a hero by his King, Tal has never claimed to be more than a man... After three decades of fighting warlocks, killing mythical beasts, and hunting enchanted treasure, Tal has had enough. Running from the deeds of his past, he retreats to his home village under a different name and meets an unlikely companion: Garin, a village boy who dreams of making a name for himself and seeing the world beyond their sleepy town. When Tal receives a mysterious visitor, both he and Garin find themselves thrown into a sojourn across the kingdom. Soon, they become embroiled in the plots of monarchs, on the frontlines of an ancient war, and at the mercy of a fabled sorcerer. Now Tal must live up to his legend, and Garin discover his own power, to survive the forces pitted against them... Name of the Wind meets Witcher in A King's Bargain, an intertwining sword and sorcery adventure and coming of age tale. If you like The Wheel of Time, The Dragonbone Chair, or The Stormlight Archive, you'll love the captivating world of Legend of Tal!

The world is crumbling. And no one knows how to stop it. Eons ago, the Lastborn saved the world from complete destruction by his brother and fellow god, the Firstborn. Now, the world is set for the Lastborn's return, with his army of dead rising at the hands of necromancers. Erik didn't think it had anything to do with him. Grown complacent on his home island near the edge of the world, he is torn from routine when his closest friend suddenly murders him. Then a necromancer gives him a second chance by reanimating him into the most human-like deadwalker yet, and Erik struggles to find the one person who might lead him to true resurrection, a mysterious man known as the Rook. But things are not as they seem. A shadow stalks his every footstep. And as designs unwind around him, Erik finds his own pursuit may be the thing that finally shatters the world. Gods are not godly. Heroes are not heroic. An epic fantasy that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

[250,000 words already written... New chapters being uploaded 2-3 times weekly!] The world is normal again...mostly. The refuges have been abandoned, cities have been rebuilt, and the great storms that rained glass and made the air itself crackle with deadly energy have not been seen by any living human. All signs of the Brothers and the destruction they wrought have at last been worn away by time to little more than third-hand tellings of distant memories, twice forgotten... Mostly. The moon still hangs broken in the sky, two halves slowly circling each other in an unending dance; the blood of the Brother's distant descendants still sometimes sings with the faint echos of their God-like powers; and old taboos still run deep. How do you kill beings wielding the powers of Gods? You don't. You send them though a world gate and pray they never find their way back. But never is an awfully long time and some will risk the world itself to harness that power, consequences be damned.
