Looking up at the man about to kill me, I finally realized the truth. I wasn't the hero in this story; I was the villain.

So I did it. Let go. Dropped my hand to my side; let his sword fall...

And I died.

Trials of Gideon Book 1: The Cursed Blade by kullman
17 parts Complete
Gideon Saint is usually in trouble. It's his pastime to get involved in epic quests throughout history, namely the Middle Ages. Once again, he's run afoul of the Templars, and ancient organization of Wizards. This time, they are offering him the chance to right old wrongs, by retrieving a mysterious cursed blade. 1403 awaits. Sequel Series to Last Knights of Cambia series, and the Days of the Dead trilogy, ergo it contains spoilers for those. Similar narrative style and tone, that is if you want English history explained like Lemony Snicket, then this is for you. Ahem. Living people die, dead people live. Swords. Epic Battles. Mysterious riddles. Coded messages. True love. Traitors. Murder. Found families. Yes, Henry V is here and he is awesome. Did we mention swords? Tombs are described in loving detail. People are not. Yes you may learn something about the battle of Shrewsberry but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Content/Trigger Warning: A battle is depicted at length, relatively graphic blood/gore associated with that. A character is injured severely and must twice undergo surgery on page, this is fairly graphic and may be disturbing to some readers. Brief innuendo. Some brief strong language. Some mild sexuality. Catholicism is discussed. All disturbing scenes are usually forewarned, that is it's clear what is going to happen. Some brief peril. Some light disturbing humor relating to murder. PG-13 quality stuff, be aware of your mental state and seek support as needed.

The Stone Sorceress

36 parts Complete

Eros is sent to find the princess when he happens across a sanguinary mage on an evil crusade. He resolves to stop her, but this simple task proves difficult because the mage, and her accomplice, appear to know much that he does not. In the possession of ancient secrets, and unfathomable resources, the insatiate mage proves to perhaps be too much for the intrepid soldier. This is an epic fantasy adventure, which features a bit of everything: gods, pistols, swords, mythology, magic, romance. Secret orders, dragons, ghosts, temples, and heroes.
