In a kingdom sustained by fortune yet threatened by excess, Foché-Goddess of Sumptuous known as Queen Vaine Hummer Trusholf-rises from regent to sovereign amid war, betrayal, and divine awakening. Chosen by Furtuna, the Wheel of Fortune manifested as a golden tree, Foché governs not for indulgence, but for balance-wealth paired with health, prosperity bound by restraint. As the Sin of Greed, Mammon, schemes to corrupt her kingdom through desire, emotion, and ambition, Foché is forced into battles not only of magic and strategy, but of the heart. Foché walks the fragile line between humanity and divinity-determined to protect her people without surrendering to the very greed she was chosen to oppose. Her legend is not forged by conquest, but by restraint. Not by hunger-but by balance.

The Nine Worlds of medieval times are threatened by threats from Norse and Gaelic mythology, and only the teenagers -- the Venetian mariner's daughter, Clarinda, and Hospitaller knight, Ríg -- can prevent the return of the darkest of the Artifacts of Destiny, the Codex Lacrimae. If they manage to survive, Clarinda & Ríg will discover whether friendship and perhaps love can stand against the host of villainous enemies, supernatural forces, and the march-to-war on different planes of existence caused by the return of the most corrupt of the Books of Fates, and the different paths that they will choose are unexpected and filled with perils that are literally out of this world. In action-filled journeys and breathtaking battles that range across exotic locales such as the besieged Krak des Chevaliers on Midgard, to the Weeping Wood of Svartalfheim, the Dwarf-Caverns of Nidaveller, and even to the fabled Fjords of Asgard, the relationship between the Norn and Hospitaller knight develops and deepens. With an unpredictable outcome that confounds traditional expectations of the genre and begins the tale of a thousand year-romance, this first book of The Artifacts of Destiny will surprise and delight readers of epic fantasy!
