The Lies of Loki (War of the Nine)

Across space, in the vast expanse between the realms, Odin and the Gods of Asgard do battle with the Jotunn.

The Jotunn have managed to destroy one planet already, forcing the realms to unite against them, beating them back.

Now, in this brief lull in the conflict, Odin has returned from a meeting with Mimir, minus an eye and with more questions than ever before. To make matters worse, Asgard’s defense system, the Thurisaz, has been compromised, leaving the realm open to invasion by the Jotunn. The only way Odin can fortify Asgard again is with the help of the man who broke it in the first place.

This is where Loki comes into play. Together, he and the Asgardian gods hatch a scheme. They are about to play a dangerous game, one where the fate of the realm, and perhaps the entire world, hangs in the balance. Loki must do what he does best. He cannot break the rules, but he will certainly bend them. He will do everything in his power to ensure the safety of his people.

But as fate would have it, Loki has no idea the extent to which his loyalty is about to be tested, or that he may find more common ground with the opposing players than with his own Asgardian brethren. If he only knew his future actions, well-intentioned as they might be, are doomed to bring the realms one step closer to complete and utter ruin.

War of the Nine is a series of short tales re-imagining various Norse Myths in a Sc-Fi, Star Wars-like setting. They are linear. They are all connected. Each one is another step toward the immutable fate of the Nine Realms, one that not even the Gods can prevent: Ragnarok itself.

A Reluctant Druid (The Milesian Accords Book 1)

What if you could bring back the gods?

Centuries ago, the followers of the new gods defeated the old gods and the folk of legend, banishing them from the world of man. With their departure, magic faded from the land.

The Milesian Accords had provisions for a new challenge, though, and the Exiled Gods have sent their minions back to our world to seek out a champion to fight for them and a druid able to wield the magic needed to fulfill the challenge.

A descendant of the druid who participated in the original challenge, Liam Knox doesn’t know anything about the Accords or his ancestors, but those seeking to maintain the status quo are hunting him, and the beings of myth are doing their best to convince him to help the Exiled Gods return to the world of man, bringing magic back with them.

Liam is faced with a choice he doesn’t want, and if he chooses wrong, he risks more than his own life—he could end the world as we know it. And he’s running out of time to decide.

The Exiled Heir (Autumn’s Fall Saga)

In this epic fantasy from the acclaimed author of The Grey Bastards, a man and his fae allies confront Goblins seeking to restore their race to power.
 
Locked in an eternal Autumn, Airlann, the Source Isle of Magic, is dying. Nearly a millennium earlier, the last of the Goblin Kings were assassinated. Now a fanatical army of Goblins known as the Red Caps are determined to bring their bloodline back to the throne via an heir whose identity is a deeply guarded secret.
 
Padric, a human cast aside as cursed by his own people, travels alongside the alluring piskie Rosheen, his lifelong friend. As the Red Caps wage war, Padric and Rosheen find themselves in midst of the battle, having allied themselves with the unlikeliest of creatures: Deglan Loamtoes, a healer gnome whose cynicism is rivaled only by his quick wit, and Pocket, an orphaned changeling fostered by the avian Knights of the Valiant Spur. 
 
Soon this ragtag posse of wayfarers is confronting skin-changers, bloodthirsty marauders, and fire-crazed fanatics—determined to discover the true identity of the long-lost heir before the Red Caps release forces powerful enough to destroy Airlann once and for all. But is this band of unlikely heroes strong enough to stand against the descendant of the dreadful Goblin Kings?
 
“An addictively readable—and undeniably cool—fantasy masterwork.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Grey Bastards

A great crusade has been called to pacify the wild Norse kingdoms. The banner of the cross has been raised against the north, and all the power and fury of the west rides under it.

Ordulf, a talented young German swordsmith, is ripped from his comfortable life and cast into the bloody chaos of the crusade. As fate deals him a cruel blow in the lands of his enemies, he will have to forge a new path through the chaos, or be consumed by it.

In the Northlands, three rival kingdoms must unite to survive the onslaught. But can any man, king or commoner, unite the bickering brotherhood of the Norse?
