Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark plot unfolds in the western lands of the Kingdom of Swordbane with the formation of an unholy alliance, deliberate spread of a deadly affliction, and a newly conspired war looming on the horizon after the Kingdom of Swordbane has just emerged victorious from a bitter twenty-year-long war with its eastern rival neighbor. Masterminding this dark plot built on social malaise from corruption and an espoused propaganda of revisionism, a former vassal of the kingdom emerges who seeks to claim the status of the ultimate dark lord and chosen vessel. In seeking to receive special divine powers, this aspiring dark lord will pave a bloody path of death and destruction in order to ultimately create a new prosperous social and political order inspired from the ashes of the once-great Lupercalian Empire. Only a group of unlikely but personally connected heroes seek to stand in the way and fight back to preserve what is left of the kingdom. Throughout their trials and hardships, both the heroes and this ambitious dark lord will reflect upon their past life events while seeking to move forward with the challenges they face ahead in the ultimate war of perceived good versus evil. Whoever wins in this struggle, one thing is certain among all of them: life will never be the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years after the final events of the original novel Swordbane, a new adventure and plot unfolds. The heroes of the elite Order of the Comradery find themselves separated while pursuing and confronting a cultist caravan of the departed but glorified dark lord Dux Decius. Upon their ensuing confrontation, Marin and Linitus of the Comradery escape the ensuing turmoil of a collapsing cave mine by taking a portal to a faraway land in the north known as Shimmerfrost. Upon arriving, these two heroes must rely on each other for survival in a very hostile, cold, and unfamiliar land while uncovering a plot by a new villainous regional overlord known as Helskadi, the Winter Death Witch, who is poised to solidify her dominance over all the various beings of the region while relying heavily on her horde army of beastly creatures and the necromantic powers of a mysterious vassal of hers known as Wendigo. Eventually while seeking to return home, Marin and Linitus cross paths with various local inhabitants, including human Nordlings and an exotic group of anthropomorphic sentient beings known as dyr folk. Marin and Linitus set out to build a new alliance between these two groups after previously feuding with each other for countless years. Only through uniting these two groups can Marin and Linitus hope to have a chance of prevailing against Helskadi’s dark forces that threaten to usher in a new era of darkness in the region. Meanwhile, Duchess Lucia Diem, upon sacrificing her life for her son Lucianus to escape in the earlier confrontation against the Comradery, now finds herself in the presence of the deity spirit of death, Calu. Surprising the deity spirit by rejecting her intended destination of being united with many of her ancestors in the paradise of Caelum, Lucia instead chooses to be sent to the fiery realm of condemnation known as Hadao Infernum out of utter devotion to unite with her late lover, Decius. Upon uniting in the fiery realm of hell, the two soulmates rekindle their bond. They come to a new understanding together of their present abode while forging a new dark path of domination. Decius, with Lucia at his side, seeks to make a last bid to claim the title of the supreme dark lord of hell while waging a new war against the realm’s current reigning occupant, Orcus, the Lord of Punishment.

Born of treachery, Bane grew up an outcast in his own land, feared by his fellow highlanders, and denied by the father whose unmistakable mark he bore–the eyes of Connavar, one tawny brown, the other emerald green. Hounded from the country of his birth, Bane found acceptance across the seas–only to have it stripped away in an instant by a cruel and deadly swordsman. Now fighting as a gladiator in the blood-soaked arenas of the Empire, Bane lives for one thing: revenge. And he pursues his goal with the same single-minded determination that won his father a crown. But more is at stake than a young warrior’s quest for vengeance. The armies of the Stone are preparing to march on the lands of the Rigante. The fate of human and Seidh alike will be decided by the clash of swords–and by the bonds of twisted love and bitterness between a father and a son . . .
