If you like George R. R. Martin and J. R. R. Tolkien fantasy you’re going to love Steffen Larken’s Swarming Death, Veric series!
These short novellas are well written, heart pounding, vividly imaginative and a no-brainer must read. I’m totally hooked. The storyline is appropriate for all ages, boys, girls, adults. Share Veric’s exploits with your youngsters for perfect bedtime reading. The story encourages thought, imagination and provokes important discussion about life’s lessons. Although there are not pictures, I imagine the stories will appeal to those who love fantastic graphic novels.
Join Veric on this high-fantasy saga as his search for answers about his past begins in earnest with a quest to the deep, dark, depths of Mond Orind and the Mouth of Madric.
In this first novella “Of Dragon Bones and Ashen Tears” will Veric decipher the mysterious symbols on the box? A box—he cannot open. A mysterious box—with broken, faded symbols. A box—Veric’s father gave him just before tragedy struck. Learn what species of creature Veric is and how he came to be in this world. Will Veric survive the Mouth of Madric while in the depths of Mond Orind?
Are the characters we meet friend or foe? Meet:
Sandrin, a ferocious warrior;
Hrudz a grateful orc;
A confused centaur in need of a wizard;
Queen Jiiri and the Orb of Oscillar (why does she want it so badly?—villainous laugh—it can’t be for good reasons.)
This series will delight lovers of the epic high fantasy genre. It’s filled with plenty of mysteries and puzzles plus fast-paced page-turning action packed battles, magic, magical items, great beasts, curses, daring quests, and harrowing journeys into mysterious lands.
I highly recommend Steffen Larken’s “Of Dragon Bones and Ashen Tears” followed by the second book: “House of Wizardary.” But first—take it for a test drive—go to Larken’s website, snag his newsletter and snag your FREE copy of the prequel “For Fog Adorns Her”. You’ll be glad you did.
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review—which is good for me because I love it.
