📚2018 Wattys Shortlist!📚 An ancient evil returns. The Huntsmen of Muspelheim want the Codex Lacrimae, so they've set a trap in 12th Century Crusader lands to get it! Believed lost for half a millennium, the Codex Lacrimae reappears when an old scholar brings the Dark Book to the Hospitaller castle of the Krak des Chevaliers. Unwittingly, that action leads the malevolent Huntsmen to the one person they've been seeking: Ríg, an apprentice who trains the warrior-monks in the castle's library and seeks only a quiet existence because of a haunted past. The arrival of the Codex Lacrimae and its supernatural temptations will force Ríg to choose between the peaceful path of a priest or violent ways of a warrior. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, the Norns of Fate try to counter the Huntsmen's plot by casting a net around Clarinda Trevisan, a beautiful Venetian sea merchant's daughter who is content to sail with her father's fleet throughout the Mediterranean Sea. After her father disappears, Clarinda's attempt to solve the mystery pulls her into both Ríg's orbit and matters far greater than the cargoes and crews that usually occupy her time. The girl must learn the ways of war and magic to fulfill Fate's role, and confront strange creatures of Norse mythology, a nefarious Templar Grandmaster, the magical Nine Worlds, and a tempestuous relationship with Ríg himself! The return of the Codex Lacrimae unleashes a host of evils that might challenge even the most star-crossed of lovers. If Clarinda & Ríg can't stop the Huntsmen of Muspelheim, Hela and her Wilde Jagd, the Dragon Fafnir, the armies of Saladin, & a mysterious figure whose dark designs are centuries in the making, they'll find the worlds of the Multiverse at the brink of annihilation!

Liana is the sole heir to Arvetta. After years of preparation, the time has come for her 18th birthday. The day she is officially recognized as a political figure for Arvetta. News rushes through the castle of the neighboring kingdom of Grand Roth threatening to cut their land off entirely if they do not agree to give over rule of the dam, the kingdom's only water source. Liana's loyalty to her Kingdom costs her in more ways than one. In the middle of the night, her family's palace is attacked, and they are forced to retreat to their cottage hidden in the woods. Days passed, and no one came for them. Liana feared the worst; what if her beloved kingdom fell to the grips of Grand Roth and its ruthless king? She awoke to the sound of rushing waves, and in a blink of an eye, her home was washed away in the flood from the broken dam walls. Dead. Liana was dead as the heavy water drowned out her cries for her family. Gasping for air in a cave, hidden at the depths of a newly formed lake, laughter of the water sprites pulled her to the water's surface. When she returned to her fallen kingdom, nothing was the same. Years had passed, and the existence of Arvetta was erased from history. The only thing that remained was her undeniable thirst for vengeance against Grand Roth's current king, Carnelius Larke III. It was his bloodline who destroyed everything she ever loved. But vengeance comes with a price. When she's caught off the coast by the king himself, Liana forms a plan to take the kingdom down from the inside out.

In a world where magic breaches the boundaries of reality, two unlikely heroes must confront the darkness that threatens to unravel their world. Amara, a gifted but guarded sorceress, and Kael, a warrior with a haunted past, are thrust together when an ancient rift opens, unleashing a horde of twisted creatures into their realm. Bound by duty and an undeniable connection, they embark on a perilous journey to close the breaches and stop the impending destruction. As their journey takes them deeper into the heart of magical chaos, Amara and Kael find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither of them expected. Their bond grows stronger with every battle fought, every mystery unraveled, and every secret revealed. But in a world where love is forbidden and alliances are fragile, they must face not only external enemies but their own fears and desires. As the rifts grow more volatile, and the enemy's power increases, Amara and Kael are forced to confront the ultimate question: Can their love survive the trials of the realms? Or will the very forces they fight against tear them apart? Whispers Across Realms is a tale of forbidden love, magic, and sacrifice-a high-stakes fantasy adventure where loyalty is tested, hearts are broken, and destinies collide. Can they close the rifts in time, or will the whispers from other realms claim them both? ***************************************** ||DISCLAIMER:|| This story is a work of fiction.

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!
