The worlds-spanning conclusion to "The Codex Lacrimae," the first of nine novels in A.J. Carlisle's epic fantasy series, "The Artifacts of Destiny." With Aurelius believed dead and Clarinda cast to parts unknown by the power of the Dark Book, the Nine Worlds and multiverse of medieval times are threatened by reemergent threats from Norse mythology, the armies of Saladin and Hela Queen of the Dead, and the darkest of the Artifacts of Destiny, the Codex Lacrimae. If they manage to survive, Ríg and Clarinda will discover whether friendship and 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 Hospitaller and Norn 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!
