Description
A short story collection set in a medieval Fantasy world, "Wonderous Tales of the Northern Kingdoms" takes you to the three kingdoms Seathornia, Sucellie, and Waldbergen. Follow their human and nonhuman inhabitants on their adventures. The stories tell the experiences of:- orphan girl Tilly and her water horse companion Domhnull,- healer Friedbert and his wood sprite foster grandmother Adalberga,- vampire assassin Dragomira,- mountain fairy Blanchefleur,- long-eared slave Otaspes,- King's brother Doderic,- and nightmare Princess Himiltrud.
The short stories are interconnected with characters from different stories crossing paths and chronological dependencies. Nonetheless, each story can also be read on its own. The word count ranges from ca. 1800 to 2800 words. The story collection is completed with a total of fifteen short stories and two extras. Although a possible future continuation is generally an option, it is not too likely.*******This is my first time publishing one of my fictions. I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.

- YesorNoRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Each chapter was magical, reminiscent of the fairy tales I read as a child. Now this, is a flavour of fantasy that isn't being explored enough. Very refreshing.
- ZethuronRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a bunch of smaller stories that stand on their own, but also are connected to eachother in some way.
This kind of story, was just so heartwarming to read, each chapter is wondrous in some way.
Elements of the mythology of the British isles are used in such a way, that they fit seamlessy into the story.
I do recommend to read this, if you just want something nice, something to help you cheer up, or just whenever.
