Vexed by Olaf’s craven departure for the realm beneath the lake, Bjorn Horsa turns to securing the fealty of his subjects and discovering the identity of the fair maiden who sang with the mermaids.
A malicious watcher stalks him, hounds his friends, aids his enemies, and inflicts distress and mayhem on the kingdom. Women raise armies. A faithless herald carries a forged will south giving Olaf’s son the kingdom. Bjorn hurries south to try to stop him.
The elven seer urges Bjorn to constant intercessory prayer, but the closer he draws to Hearthing, the more his prayers for peace and blessing go unanswered.

Veil: Tale of a 16 Moons [FANTASY EPIC] [MAGICAL COMING OF AGE + ROMANCE]
Lutra. Where a once-thriving kingdom now teeters on the brink of collapse. Lutra. Where behind the facade of order, sinister forces gather momentum, orchestrating brutal acts disguised as justice. Lutra. Where magic realms bounded by promises converge, ushering in an era of sorcery that reshapes the world's very fabric. Yet, hope lingers in the hands of three unlikely champions, who each embody the essence of their fractured land and wield inexplicable powers, even if they cannot fathom it yet. The Prince, scarred by the slaughter of the royal family, harbors an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Enduring years of torment, he unlocks an inner strength that not only transforms him but also alters the kingdom's destiny. The Sorceress, daughter of the Land's Arbiter, grapples with her lack of magical abilities. Her self-imposed exile leads her on a quest for purpose, finding a way back to who she was and would be. The Seer, caught in the King's oppressive regime, endures persecution by the once-noble protectors, the Riders, turned executioners. Betrayals and tragedy shape his path, bestowing upon him both a curse and a blessing, seeing the very future that hides illusively behind closed doors. In the gripping tale, 'Veil,' the trio's destinies intertwine as they strive to salvage a realm torn by darkness and treachery. I promise that you won't be able to put it down!Complete![A Prince's Errand [PREVIEW] ✔️ | Book One of TALES OF THE AMULET](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/146659604-256-k902770.jpg)
A Prince's Errand [PREVIEW] ✔️ | Book One of TALES OF THE AMULET
Several millennia ago a war raged between the factions of dragonkind. With their world ravaged, the Kaldean Alliance forged the Amulet of Draconic Control and the Tethering Stone, and banished their foes to other realms, saving Kalda from utter destruction. Fearing the power of the Amulet, the survivors secreted it away. But now knowledge of the Amulet has resurfaced-and in the wrong hands, war could erupt anew. Long ago, men harnessed the Channels of Power, creating tevisrals-devices capable of manifesting magic. But men weren't the only ones to accomplish such feats. Dragons crafted the most sophisticated tevisrals. These shaped the world, defining civilization of man and elf alike. Over the centuries, the people of Kalda have fallen into a dark age, where elves are estranged from men and dragons have retreated into legend. Tevisrals are scarce and men are willing to trade everything for them. But there are some who wish to bury the past, and in their lands, possessing tevisrals is tantamount to treason. Still, daring men scour the world in search of Kalda's past. One such man, the scholar Krindal, seeks an ancient order known as the Keepers of Truth and Might. He yearns for their knowledge, long feared lost. Prince Kaescis Midivar also searches for these Keepers. The assassination of his uncle, the emperor of Mindolarn, killed his hopes of peace with his empire's enemies. His empire's survival hinges upon unearthing the Keepers' secrets. An aging warrior, Cornar Dol'shir, longs to be home with his wife. But his retirement must wait, as his band of adventurers is recruited to help find the Keepers' hidden temple on the Isle of Klindala. Haunted by his tragic past, Iltar, the Son of Adrin, does not join in the search for the Keepers. Instead, he seeks to unravel the mysteries held within a volume of prophecy foretelling the advent of the Unspoken One and the return of the Crimson Eye.Complete

orenda (n.) a mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world, or to effect change in their own lives. ------ The night Ragnar the Fearless and his family died was not only watched from afar by Uhtred Ragnarson, but also by the youngest daughter, Bemia Ragnarsdottir-a young girl who had to crawl on her hands and knees out of the burning hall, had to also watch in tears from the forest as her world was snatched out from under her. Uhtred had watched the attack, thinking only Thyra had survived, by being kidnapped. But little did he know that his youngest sister was running past him in the forest, desperate to get away. And she did. But the next part of her life was even worse, more traumatic than watching her family die before her eyes. Years later, Bemia had created a name for herself, created a reputation that was feared by most Danes and Saxons. Then she had finally found her brother again, and also a young warrior who she never thought she would fall for. -- Sihtric x fem OC! #1 thelastkingdom 30/06/2024 #1 finan 05/07/2024 #1 osferth 05/07/2024 #1 sihtrickjartansson 05/07/2024 #1 uhtred 05/07/2024 #1 sihtric 07/07/2024

Tattered Banners - War of the Last Day #2 [EXCERPT]
An EXCERPT of the story that is now published on Amazon. The fall of Paril paves the way for the Cursed Army to invade the rest of Gorania. Thousands of runaways from all six kingdoms flock north to the Frozen Forest, and humanity is put to the test as the Goranians are about to fight each other to the death for their place in Karun's Cave. Nardine and her mother believe they still have a slim fighting chance to end the Cursed invasion, but first they have to convince their restless vassals who are on the brink of mutiny, then deal with the obstinate Skandivians who regard the Bermanians as the threat. Halgrim seeks a friend's help to catch up with his family fleeing north, but the cost of that help might be heavier than he thinks. And Leila, dragged into a war she hasn't sought, makes an uncalculated move that will shift the odds, but not necessarily in the Goranians' favor. War of the Last Day enters a starker phase as more Goranian kingdoms fall, leaving the fate of mankind in the hands of clashing factions. Unless they realize that their broken sigils and tattered banners have become obsolete, nothing will stop the Cursed from annihilating every human being in Gorania.Complete
