What does it mean to have honor?

That is something I have asked myself my whole life. My name is Bothvar; I am the son of Earl Beorcol, and this is my story.

Some think honor is to die in battle, while others think honor is to kill in battle. My brother Thorkel surely thought those things. Maybe that’s why he did what he did. I’ll never know.

Others think honor is to serve. To serve our leaders or people. To serve the greater good. Or simply serve our family and loved ones. That surely seems noble, does it not? My father surely thinks so. He’s given his life to serve all of those things.

Many think honor is something you earn, not something you’re born with or given. It’s carved from hard work. Forged in the fires of battle and hardened by pain. This is what I once thought. I spent many days and nights tempering my strength, hardening my body, and forging my will. I thought honor came from the edge of a blade. I sacrificed it all to earn it and it cost me nearly everything, leaving my heart and soul broken.

And yet, I still do not know what it means to have honor. Join me, and together we might discover the truth. Together we might earn honor. And maybe then, I can finally find peace and be reunited with my loved ones.

The Damaged Soul is a small prequel book of the Broken Souls in the Seasons of the Cycle series. It's also included in the Broken Souls novel along with the Bound Soul, Lura's story. The Series is a Dark Fantasy with a bit of romance. It’s inspired by Viking culture, but it is in no way an accurate portrayal of historical Viking culture. It takes place within a fantasy world that’s heavily influenced by ancient mythology and lore of many different cultures among other things. That being said, this book contains some pretty graphic and controversial topics such as slavery, sexual assault, death, war, violence, blood, mental health, drug addiction, and many other controversial topics.

Review - Sixth Prime by Dan O'Brien @AuthorDanOBrien

On the other side of the galaxy an eccentric artist, Ale Euclid, on the cusp of real success seemingly jumps to his death, beginning an investigation that will unravel a connection between 16 individuals scattered across the stars. C. Gideon Jane, investigator for the Sluga Mining Trust, has been called in to discover what really happened. While investigating, he crosses paths with Moira Cossima, a mysterious friend of Ale Euclid, whose insight leads him deeper into a sprawling conspiracy.

Meanwhile, treasure hunters J’quar and Fei are hot on the trail of an artifact called the Pondus at the behest of the Sluga Mining Trust. Trapped aboard a mining tower on Quartus, twins Leda and Lorelei must face down strange creatures and a monster that dwells deep within the ice floes of the red planet. Not far from the two sisters, a wrongfully accused inmate is haunted by what he has done, and what he has been asked to do.

An attack on the Dimidium-Bet waystation in neutral space by Grand Admiral Leahy of the Sovereignty tests an already shaky relationship between the two warring societies. Blaise Centauri, admiral of the Commonwealth fleet, and Nom Chatar, his second, arrive in time to save some refugees from the station, including Bar Thiel, a relief worker and doctor aboard the destroyed station.

Even though they begin worlds apart from one another, the universe has set them upon a collision course with one another…

Disclosure - I was provided free of charge by the Author a copy of the eBook.

Review - Books like these are a massive undertaking to write and to read. There are so many characters interacting within their story arc. O'Brien explores a self created galaxy of worlds, creatures and characters and does a excellent job weaving it all together.

What is interesting is the concept of Prime. Who is a Prime and what does it mean. Most importantly, what does Prime mean to The Darkness and The Devourer. On top of it all, intergalactic war is not out of the question. To say there is a lot going on is an understatement.

This is step one in a long foreseeable journey into Dan O'Brien's universe. Take the risk and follow where this story goes.

The Unwanted Winter by Richard M. Heredia @RichardMHeredia

The Unwanted Winter (Snowman)

12/24/12 to 12/26/12

For more years than history could account, the Twelve have stood between mankind and a terrible, ancient menace. Time and again, the Guardians have thwarted the vile and wicked minions of Storm, and have cast them from the World of Man and back into the tormented plane from whence they came.

Until now.

Now, he has changed the game. He has done what could not be done and bereft the World of Man it’s only protection against Him. He has torn the Guardians from their homes, their families, their friends and everything else they hold dear, exiling them for all of time. The Guardians - twelve brave children - must find a way to survive upon a terrible, mixed world filled with horrific creatures, diabolic plant-life and a relentless and cruel climate. They must somehow discover their vast Gifts - the very powers that make them Guardians, that make them wielders of the oldest sorcery ever known - so that they might use them to find a way to overcome the tragic fate He has bestowed upon them.

They must hurry. Time is running out.

He is coming, and He is bringing the whole of his vast and evil empire with him, six master races with six limitless armies, for all that is chaos and malice rides under his banner.

He is the Lord of the Storm, the Great Maelstrom.

He is the Snowman.

Winter's Fury by Richard M. Heredia @RichardMHeredia

Winter's Fury (Snowman)

After the Rending of the Twelve from the World of Man and the Melding fast upon them, the Guardians and their familiars – the Fist – must venture out into a world unlike any other, a mixed world that resembles all that they remember from home, but is much, much more.

It is a hostile place filled with vicious creatures and diabolic foliage, where the icy grip of winter holds sway over all and a constant blizzard blankets the landscape in an unrelenting deluge of snow. The air is frozen and the wind is brutal, and yet the Twelve have no choice. They must leave the confines of their warm sanctuary and search. They must search for the remaining members of their group. They must search for the Gifts that lay dormant within them. They must try to do whatever they can to find a way to survive. They need food. They need clothing. They need permanent shelter.

They must leave; they have too, for time is running out.

The minions of Storm are already flooding onto the Melded World in droves. Fenris dok Kor, the Snowman’s Hand, Vallum, the Master Preost, and Ingheldir, the greatest tracker of Flesh to have ever lived, are but a few of the many vile creatures that quest for the blood of the Twelve.

For, it is the blood of the Twelve that will unlock the Great Maelstrom from his prison. It is their lives that must be forfeit in order to forge a permanent bridge between the known universes, and unleash the Snowman upon them all.

The Twelve must hurry.

War is coming, and on the Melded World the fate of all things will be decided.

Rift of Askrah by Benjamin Andrews ‏ @MagicJarPublish

Rift of Askrah Book 1: Fracture

What seems true on the surface may be just an illusion. Nihlen Draven, First Prince and heir to the throne of the nation of Draven, has lived with undeniable truths his entire life. In an instant though, all those truths are shattered. After being kidnapped, and his kingdom subjugated by the neighboring nation of Rinh, Nihlen's life begins to spiral out of control. Every day becomes a battle for survival. Even escape is nearly impossible. Searching for the answers he desperately needs may be pushing the limit.

In other lands, changes are also taking place. For generations, people from one continent to another have thrived in an age of peace. Plans have been set into motion however, both by the hand of man, and fate itself, causing this peaceful age to come to an end. Each desires something different, but whether those moving the pieces know it or not, they all have two things in common. Prince Nihlen, and a land that has become all but legend.

This legendary land is known as Askrah, and its secrets are slowly enveloping the world, threatening the safety and lives of people everywhere. The history of this empire has touched every nation, in ways that have now been long forgotten. When something is forgotten though, it does not disappear, but waits only to be discovered once more. The Eye of Kings, a strange power that links Nihlen to the lost history of this once mighty empire, is only the beginning of what Askrah has left behind. This power is the key to the end of one age, and the only chance for salvation in the next.

The forces moving across the world, and the ever increasing burden of destiny, will push Nihlen to his limits. Without help, Nihlen may fall to the blade of any one of his growing list of enemies. There are those sympathetic to his cause though, and their help will be paramount to his success. War is rising off the horizon, and there is no way of knowing how long there is to prepare. The adventure is only beginning, and the prelude that ushers in the unknown now echoes across the world.

Valley of the Shadows by Amre Cortadino

Valley of the Shadows: KINGDOM OF HILLAEL

Cousins Claire and Barloe had almost forgotten the enchanting adventures their Aunt Mim told them of as little girls. Her tales always began with, "Long ago in a far away land..."

A priceless treasure, meant to forge an accord between the kingdoms of the KinKades and the Kaebreans, was taken. Betrayed, the enraged KinKades warred against Kaebrea and slaughtered its inhabitants. Though victorious in battle, the KinKades failed to recover their cherished offering. Their consuming hatred eventually transformed the KinKades into a secretive, mythical, feared society – the Shadows. Bordering both countries, Hillael vowed to remain neutral and accepted all survivors. Secure within a prosperous nation, life in Hillael flourished. But now, conspiring to become King of Hillael, the ambitious, self-serving Rokhana forms an evil pact with the Shadows. An epic battle of good versus evil begins as Prince Gildeon ascends to the throne of Hillael.

The Whisplins Trilogy by Michael Curtis Hilde @MikeCurtisHilde

The Whisplins Trilogy: Blue Truth

EPISODE I: BLUE TRUTH – After Rhone fails to thwart the slaying of Astra Thuja Helix— the gigantic black beast with a golden horn, who is last of the unicorns— she then makes a vow to protect all remaining magical creatures from mankind’s blind destructiveness. Immediately is she captured, accused of witchcraft, and sentenced to death by hanging. Ultra-violent and unbreakable, the Grey Ranger Imogen Rhone uses her paranormal knowledge of nature to endure her hanging and free herself, a survivor forever.

Now it’s up to her-- the mysteriously hooded, redheaded and heavily-armed female Ranger known as Rhone-- to protect magic on earth by striking at the heart of that which threatens it: The Black Nothing, a dark force which sweeps across the continent of The Whisplins, consuming and decimating populations. On her epic journey through a Kingdom where magic is forbidden, Rhone is met by prophets, rebels, wildmen and young magicians alike who join her in her quest to take The Whisplins back from the control of King Nion, whose black heart is the source of The Black Nothing— before the darkness consumes them all.

Mythical, mystical, The Whisplins Trilogy fully immerses readers in a song of magic, and an antediluvian era from beyond history’s memory.


: : : : : : : : With the recent appearance of The New Yorker's first issue dedicated entirely to Science Fiction/Fantasy, The Whisplins Trilogy arrives at a perfect time for readers turning on to fantasy with a more literary-feel. The author blends studies of Tarot imagery with the classic atmosphere of Arthurian High Fantasy added to the newer milieu of Steampunk to create the world of The Whisplins. It’s fantasy at its ultra-violent Grimmiest, its enchantingly Tolkienistestmostness, a saga about magic, nature, truth, freedom, crowns, and the future. It's mega, sexy, psychedelic, written in a sort of sprawling stream-of-consciousness Beat Literature patois-- The Whisplins Trilogy is a post-fantasy wonder-piece unlike anything else.

- For audiences of Quentin Tarantino, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, and J.R.R. Tolkien, The Whisplins Trilogy is an unforgettable read -

Includes full-world map kit

On the ancient, crumbling Roman highway across haunted, deserted Dacia, Javor rescues the beautiful Danisa from a human sacrifice. He cannot help falling in love with her.

The Bonds of Blood by Travis Simmons

The Bonds of Blood (The Revenant Wyrd Saga)

Events build to a dramatic conclusion in this epic fantasy of family ties. On a hunting trip Jovian is attacked by a demon destroyed ages ago when the last of the fallen angels were driven into hiding. Angelica is plagued by haunting visions depicting the fall of her family. Joya begins hearing voices and communicates with a geometry book that calls forth the destructive force of Wyrd within her. Amber is stolen in the night, and a being who calls himself “Grigori” seeks the destruction of the Neferis name.

Even before a rescue attempt can be made for Amber, the family comes under attack by forces they are not ready to face. The adventure becomes one haunted by mystical creatures and events as two forces try to help them, and hinder them. With every step more and more questions arise.
There are seemingly no answers until they are confronted with an ancient enemy of their family. Will this enemy grant the answers they seek, or will she fray the tenuous threads binding them to their old lives?
