As you can see from the title bar, my new book, The Sea Dragon (Book I of the Bjornssaga), is now available for purchase at Amazon.com.
Here's the precis:
Bjorn Guthbrandr – a one-time reiver turned priest of Esu; a
humble Hand of the Great General, the Allfather of Men – has been caught up in
a quest that began in the distant past. Travelling to his homeland in the mountains
of far-off Jarla to consult with his superiors and seek out the trail of an
artifact of ancient evil, he finds himself burdened with a most unusual
companion: Salimankerias, a dragon of the sea. Together they must leave the
south behind and make their way to the frozen northlands in the depths of winter,
searching for the holy city of Kofalls, where they hope to find Bjorn’s
superiors in faith, and the answers that they seek. They find much more than
that; not only answers, but danger, disaster and death – and proof that an
ancient evil has awoken, more potent and dreadful than any they had expected to
find. The ancient city, Bjorn's homeland, and even the world itself are at
stake as the two unlikely comrades strive to overcome the differences that
divide them, and work together to defeat the fell and ancient powers that hope
to enslave Bjorn’s people, and bury the northlands in a shroud of eternal ice
and darkness.
The Sea-Dragon is
the first book of the Bjornssaga –
three tales that concern the deeds of Bjorn Guthbrandr, Fist of the Allfather,
in the months after his departure from the company of his fellow Brothers of
the Wyrm. Those earlier tales will be told in a forthcoming series entitled The Brotherhood of the Wyrm. While the Bjornssaga thus begins in medias res, each of its books,
including this one, stands on its own, recounting a single, self-contained episode
in the overall saga.
If you like my previous books, I hope you'll feel this one is worth a look-see. And if you have any feedback, please put it in a review!
I'll be taking a short break from Anuru to work on another project for the next few months, but hope to be back before Christmas with the first installment of the next trilogy I plan to tackle - The Brotherhood of Wyrms.
Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!
