Description

My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version.

****************

Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people.

A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt.

In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever.

Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia.

****************

I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :)

I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

    While it starts fairly straightforward, this book really evolves into something much bigger and daring than I expected. A lot of nice twists and turns I didn't see coming, and a really ambitious backstory and finale!
    From a 'new' author, I wasn't expecting such a well-thought out world, characters and plot. I was pleasantly surprised. It mixes a couple genres very naturally and in a way that felt fresh and original.
    At first, the writing style had the 'first draft' feel, but as the story progresses, the writing really starts to flow and keep pace with a much bigger story than I anticipated from the first chapters.
    Great action, compelling characters, and a lot of mystery to uncover. And the ending delivers on the promises made throughout the book. The book has a great backstory that would make an interesting series of its own, so that backdrop really helps to give weight and detail to the book as we (along with the main characters) try to find out what is going on, why and what to do about it.
    I’m really looking forward to reading book two, and seeing where this story goes from here. This is one heck of a first draft!
