Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glenn G. Thater’s epic Harbinger of Doom saga continues in this special omnibus edition, which contains Volume 11, Drums of Doom and Volume 12, Blood of Kings. In the Age of Myth and Legend, the Lord’s Arkon Thetan lost his faith, abandoned his honor and his solemn oaths, and betrayed the one true god — he who loved him above all others. Thetan’s treachery threatened to bring down the very heavens and cast his name in infamy, forevermore. When the mountain troll horde surrounded Lomion City, rivalry and machination paralyzed the High Council…until the mysterious Baron Jaros appeared offering salvation from the trolls. Salvation that came at a weighty price. King Bornyth Trollsbane of the Darendor Dwarves was fearless, and confident that his people could withstand any siege, assault, plague, flood, or famine. Hardy were his Dwarves. Determined. Tireless. Patient. The problem was, the Draugar –- the dead that walked — were all of that and more. Uriel the Bold had safeguarded the portal betwixt Midgaard and Nifleheim for untold ages. He’d repelled wizards, warlords, and hordes of howling barbarians. But what hope did he have to stop The Shadow League’s cadre of Archwizards and the Nifleheim Lord that led them? The Eotrus had suffered beyond all imagining: family members dead, missing, kidnapped, their fortress, sacked. But now it was Ector’s turn to take the battle to the enemy. To march on the troll city of Gothmagorn and exact his revenge…though it might cost him his very soul. Captain Frem Sorlons was one of the toughest men to ever walk Midgaard. But deep in the heart of Svartleheim, when the drums of doom sound, even a brave hero can fall.

This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four normal modern day teenagers are plunged into a world they thought only existed in novels and film. They are whisked away to a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize travelers, where unicorns prance through the forest, and kingdoms wage war for dominance. It is a world where man is just one race, joining other races such as elves, trolls, dwarves, changelings, and the dreaded night creatures who steal the night. Not a typical "dungeons and dragons" world, for this story follows the adventures of these teens into the unknown as we watch the world unfold with their eyes. It is a world that is foreign to them. We learn as they learn. And what hope do these teens have in this strange Middle Earth world? How can they survive against wizards, dwarves, halflings, dragons, and trolls if they had a hard time making it in high school? In the vein of The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit with elements of Game of Thrones and Dungeon and Dragons. This book collects The Realm – Volume One issues 8-11. In VOLUME THREE: The teens discover their own unique mystical powers continue to grow and both Marjorie and Sandra unleash their potential...but in different ways. Marjorie leads towards healing whereas Sandra, under the influence of Lord Darkoth, finds herself capable of things she thought impossible. The group heads to the scientific city of Ardonia where they hope that the answer to get back home will be found. While we learn why Letha, having been one of Ardonia’s elite soldiers, can never return to that city. And along the way Dom and Silverfawn struggle with the feelings they have for each other...can man and elf possibly find happiness? These questions and attacks from marauders and a town of Night Creatures await our young adventurers in this volume.

Beware what lies beneath.
