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!

Foché's story is a tragic yet transcendent tale of love, sacrifice, and the true meaning of wealth. Once a mortal soul who chose rebirth over another's suffering, Foché rose to become the Goddess of Sumptuous, ruling a kingdom of endless gold and prosperity. But beneath the brilliance of riches lay a dangerous truth-wealth without purpose breeds greed. As she restored balance to her kingdom, she found herself entangled with Mammon, the Sin of Greed, whose love for her was as real as it was destructive. Through deception, sacrifice, and painful choices, Foché weakened Mammon and confronted the embodiment of excess Verryx, ultimately saving her people not through power, but through selflessness. In renouncing her divinity, she gave everything to end the cycle of greed, dying as a queen who chose her people over herself. In the end, Foché's story is not about gold or power but about a woman who proved that true prosperity lies in sacrifice, compassion, and the courage to love even when it means letting go.
