The fifth episode of the
Swarming Death, Veric
series by Steffen Larken,
āThis World of Smokeā
starts on the shores of the Sangar Sea in Krell, āthe crown of the Krymean Crowns.ā
Will Veric ever decipher the enigmatic symbols on the box? A mysterious box he cannot open. Vericās father gave him the artifact just before tragedy struck his homeworld. An apocalyptic tragedy that forced him from Qovv and through a portal that altered his lifeāforever.
Previous clues bring Veric and Sandrin to join a land-crossing caravan traveling to Uddengahl to learn about a mysterious historical warrior named Kurhen, āThe Thrice Cursed.ā All but erased from history, why was he called āThrice Cursed?ā
As Veric, Sandrin, and their guide Hrosken hike, the landscape becomes increasingly engulfed in a thick blanket of mysterious smoke. āThis World of Smokeā becomes more threatening with every step they take. What is this choking smoke, where is it coming from, and why does it cause hallucinations?
The series explores ideas of friendships, belonging, bias, community, magic, iconic beasts, and warring kingdoms as Veric and his friends quest togetherāfacing certain doomāand he seeks to unravel his mysterious past. The series has the elements fantasy readers love; magical beasts, swashbuckling battles all wrapped in menacing mysteries.
I recommend this series to any who enjoy a good fantasy story because it is entertaining. Each book can be read on just an hour or two. I was hooked upon completing the prequel and the first book.
First take the series for a risk-free test drive. Go to Larkenās website, snag his newsletter and a free copy of the prequel "For Fog Adorns Her.ā
