Haniel and Berrand do the king's work as a sellsword and a messenger hired to maintain control of the land. But when Berrand's mentor, the aged priest Gorreth, sends him on a journey to recover the holy text of a god he abandoned long ago, the two find themselves beset by bandits, cultists, and worse as they seek to bring back what has been lost.
  
  The Gates of Arstelem is a fantasy novel I began work on for NaNoWriMo 2016. It takes place in the Othenar setting, which is a mythic fantasy world recovering from the invasion of mysterious beings known only as the Kithik, who attempted to claim the world for their own.
  
  I'm doing an editing pass as I upload, so the progress should be fairly quick for a few chapters, then we're going to see a stalling. Feedback is appreciated and encouraged.

Note: This is sort of the first draft version. I'm doing some rewriting a year later with new and improved skills.

The Storms of Arlow (The Kingdom of Dragons Book 1)

8 parts Complete

The kingdom of Istamid is under the tyrannical rule of dragons, but there are still places where the dragons' presence isn't felt so strongly. One such place is the mountain village of Arlow. However, the residents of the village have problems of their own. Namely, the violent snowstorms. Everyone aside from Rhenor seems to think that they will blow over and that they just have to wait it out, but Rhen suspects there is something more going on. His concerns fall on deaf ears until a stranger named Kaz shows up at his door, who not only believes Rhen, but also reveals an even bigger threat looming over Arlow-earthquakes. Despite Rhen's reservations about how Kaz knows this, the two embark on a quest to put a stop to whatever is causing all of this and save Arlow before it becomes nothing but rubble.
