The Lands Between - Age of Dragons

Set in the war-torn world known as the Lands Between, this novel is based on the award-winning video game where the player is tasked with repairing the Elden Ring and becoming the new Elden Lord. To do so, the player must slay the demigods and claim the Great Runes - the largest shards of the Elden Ring which dictate the physical laws of the Lands Between. One major goal within the game is retrieving the Rune of Death and returning it to the Elden Ring, thus introducing death back to the natural order of the world.

The Lands Between - Age of Dragons picks up where the game left off. The first seven chapters follow the stories of various characters, all inspired by characters I have played within the game. The motivations of the characters vary. Some work to claim the Great Runes for themselves in a bid for power. Others work to enact the will of the Outer Gods - extraterrestrial deities fighting for influence among the Lands Between. Their actions lead to a siege of the capital of Leyndell, where the Dragon King Cyrus slumbers upon the Elden Throne.

Each chapter focuses on a specific character and is largely told from their perspective, although they do intertwine quite a bit, resulting in captivating storylines and epic battle scenes.
