Description
Bjorn Stormtamer's world has been turned upside down in more ways than one. His shipmates have left him for dead on an island for quarantining victims of a disease that he now has. His partner in battle despises him, his family thinks he's dead and everyone else thinks it was good riddance. Moreover, the world is under attack by a virulent plague that kills with light and an empire from the east whose intentions are unknown but whose methods are merciless and bloodthirsty. Little does he know that the world itself is nearly on the brink of cosmic collapse.But when a bold, charismatic woman from another nation seeks him out, Bjorn discovers that the plague he has was not a plague at all, but a trial. A trial to determine who is worthy to wield the power of gods in order to give humanity a fighting chance against the winds of fate.
This novel was written 2 years ago and isn't exactly my best work. I'm still improving my skills, but I encourage you to enjoy it for what it's worth.
ALSO, the whole plague thing was written about before the COVID pandemic. The plague is fake and actually magic in the story, but that has NOTHING to do with real world events. I am under NO CIRCUMSTANCE trying to make ANY kind of statement with it. Please just enjoy the story and stay safe.

- ThraximundarRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5A great read, as well as a really unique setting! The world seems to be heavily based on the entirety of Eurasia during Medieval times. It offers a really diverse array of character backgrounds and cultures. I also like how the magic system is intertwined with character growth, though dialogue about the system does get a little corny sometimes. The story as a whole seems to be fairly decent, though it does slow down in the middle, but I think that the time is used to at least explroe the character, whereas other slower middles tend to have the characters doing nothing as the writer tries to figure out what to do next. I'm also a big fan of the characters. Every single one of them has a unique struggle and has their own personality. While there are a lot to keep track of, I like that the writer singles out a couple of them to focus on, while giving the others smaller arcs throughout the story. My biggest criticism is that the themes can be really overt, since they tie in so directly to the magic system andit can sometimes come off as preachy. But it hasn't been that bad. If you can put that aside and just have fun with it, this story is really worth the read.
