Through their struggles and triumphs, Gai learns to embody the purpose and meaning of each essence.

Throughout their journey, they commune with the spirits of fallen champions in the hero’s graveyard, discover magical weapons that sprout from the earth, and converse with deities that can raise entire cities into the air. Meanwhile, their world teeters on the brink of oblivion as Nae’s sky void devours more of Arkadia’s history and people. Can Gai and Gimchi harness the origin of magic in time to save their world from an apocalyptic fate? Embark on this journey of courage, wisdom, and magical discovery to find out.

Forged In Dragons’ Breath

by

In a world scarred by the aftermath of the Purging Wars, the struggle for control over the Territories rages on.

Little is known about the enigmatic dragons, once companions to mankind. But within the depths of history lies the key to ultimate power—a lost artifact that can heal the world or corrupt the one who possesses it.

For millennia, the Orb of Power has passed through the hands of countless men, its influence shaping destinies. Legends speak of its mythical companion, the Scepter of Might, whispered to be joined with the Orb only once in the annals of time.

Through the ages, the Scepter has remained hidden, reduced to mere legend… until now.

When Kheldour stumbles upon the elusive Scepter, he unknowingly becomes a target for the last Orbwielder, a man lustful for power and dominance. Arlent seeks to claim the ancient relics for himself and wield them for dominion over all the Territories. Holding something dear to Kheldour, he sends the warrior on a quest for the Scepter as ransom.

Kheldour and his wife Maryna must unite the Orb and Scepter in a desperate race against time, but Maryna holds her own secrets. The first to claim the ancient relics will determine the destiny of both men and dragons.

Will Kheldour and Maryna triumph over the forces that seek to destroy them, or will their quest for redemption be their undoing?

    A.J. Norfield lives with his loving family on land but below sea level. He tries not to worry too much about climate change and the melting of the polar ice caps. His wife and two rascals of children keep him engaged and grounded in life while he pursues goals of publishing a story that has been stuck in his head for years. As a longtime forest and mountain enthusiast, he often wonders about his flat surroundings and how to escape them. In his free time, if available at all, he enjoys a wide variety of gaming, reading/writing, drawing and socializing.

    The Shadow’s Dragon

    by
    A cozy tavern on the edge of the empire holds a deadly secret. When Treylen’s mentor died, and his bonded dragon failed to grow like the others, he feared he’d be stuck forever at the mountain abbey where the queen’s assassins train.

Infiltrating the enemy city requires a mastery of disguise, deception, and interrogation. Treylen must learn these skills quickly from his new spymaster if he hopes to locate his target. But the comforts of the Dragon’s Hide Inn make it a favorite watering hole of enemy rangers and a deadly training ground. All his training may not be enough to stop the wizard intent on destroying everything Treylen cares about. The Dragon’s Hide is the start of an exciting new fantasy series!

    Dragons in the Dungeon

    by

    Goats have proven the grass is greener on the other side of the fence even if it is barren ground and they stand in lush pasture. Humans have a similar mentality. So, it is no surprise when Ryan McCormac, long-time player of Mediaeval Dungeon Adventures, stumbles upon a spell that transports him into a campaign that he believes life will be better.

    Any guesses on how it turns out? You’re right. He discovers life is no better in the fantasy realm. Sure, the ex-girlfriend isn’t there, but neither are the friends he gamed with every Friday night. He quickly learns the world is horrible. Every day he fears for his life. The people are soulless, the landscape is colourless and the magic is nowhere to be found. The only way home is to find another like him and sacrifice them.

    After five years, he’s finally found someone from his world. Now he just has to get her to the wizard who can perform the spell. Simple right? Except she’s a gatherer and before he reaches the wizard, she’s gathered several friends who plan to save her.

    If you played Dungeons and Dragons in the 1980s, you’ve got this. You know the feeling of joining friends on a quest, choosing your race, be it dwarf or elf, your profession, possibly fighter or thief, gathering your gear and exploring endless dungeons. This story is a tribute to those days when life was good, music was better and days were endless.

    New World: a Frontier Fantasy Novel

    by
    Across the sea lies a newly discovered continent, a world whose forests and beasts are unknown to the recorded memory of elves, dwarves, or men. In this land called Mira, the brutal sacking of a young colony links the fates of two opposite characters: a twelve-year-old printer’s son named Simon Jones and his long-lost uncle Tiberius Bogg, one of Mira’s legendary mountain men. Simon is small, but smart; scared but determined. Bogg, with his raccoon-skin cap and smart-talking grammar abuse, is fast as a splintercat and stealthy as a hidebehind. Together, they turn the tables and pursue their attackers (a cruel knight and his soldiers from the old country) through a wilderness full of extraordinary creatures – jackelopes and thunderbirds, fur-bearing trout and four-legged hills – all culled from American tall tales, Indian legends, and backwoods folklore.
