Reviews! :<

Hey all,

Just wanted to drop in and say please help me by reviewing Runes of Discovery on Amazon. It's sitting with one 3-star review and it makes me sad. A little help from you would go a long way.

Link to Runes...

Shuffled around member tiers

Made some mistakes in tiers after deciding to cancel the $5 one. All current patrons have been grandfathered to a $15 tier but you won't pay more than the original $10. My bad.

Artwork for Cover of Sigils of Strife (#2)

Loooookin' pretty sick!

I'm not publishing into Kindle Unlimited so you don't have to be afraid of the chapters disappearing from here until a while after the entire series is finished.

I would greatly appreciate it if you headed over to your favorite retailer and gave the book a rating: 2025-01-30 11:59:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Sigils of Strife (Book 2): Chapter 1

Vidar came to after half-falling down the ladder, having escaped the flames closing in on the dragon's corpse. Debris and bits of stone kept falling from the darkness above, and he rolled to the side just in time to avoid having his head caved in by a piece of roof that was still on fire. Groanin...

Runes of Discovery (Book 1): Chapter 46 (END)

The bridges were pulled up already. He’d missed his chance to get in the easy way. Vidar briefly considered repeating his stunt with the stakra runes to get over, but dismissed it. With how woozy his head was after all the beatings he’d taken lately, and with exhaustion making his entire body...

Chapter 45

Surrounded by a group of friends and her sister, Siv found the courage to sneak through the dark streets just inside the inner wall. Strange, humanlike shapes moved in the shadows, but she’d seen them often enough before. They frightened her still, but this day she needed to be brave. Alvarn, t...

Chapter 44

The whole plan rested on Ida’s shoulders. Without her little gang of thieves, none of the following steps would be possible. They were responsible for breaking into the keep and stealing arrows. Without access to a weaponsmith or fletcher of their own, and with no more spikes to harvest from th...

Chapter 43

The streets of Halmstadt were almost deserted in the night. The citizenry had acquired some experience in quenching fires from the first attack that allowed them to get a handle on this second bout of ravaging flames much quicker. Now, they were all quenched as far as Vidar could tell. Having ren...

Chapter 42

With how narrow the ladder tunnel was, Vidar managed to catch his feet on a few rungs on the way down, even if his feet kept slipping off them. It allowed him to crash down onto the ground below at a survivable speed.

Vidar rolled out of the way as heavy rocks, almost the size of his head, ...

Chapter 41

Supplies were bountiful as the small group worked throughout the night. Pieces of wood, large and small, were brought to Vidar’s room as it slowly, over the hours, looked more and more like a workshop. The smell of fresh wood and paint permeated the air, but Vidar refused to open the windows. H...

Chapter 40

Jarl called for the guards to release Vidar and then left him in the care of that same matronly servant, who brought him deeper into the keep and into a proper bed where a physician treated his many wounds and put a fresh compress on the one on his hand. Interestingly enough, from the smell, Vida...

Chapter 39

“Hey!” Vidar barked, closing his hand to hide the rune despite the pain.

She sighed and walked up to stand in front of him. Her face looked soft, with only a few wrinkles around the eyes, but the gray streaks in her otherwise light brown hair made her look older.

“Vidar,” she ...

Chapter 38

Guardsmen approached from both sides, more of them filling into the room behind the first set, quickly closing in as Vidar desperately backed away toward one of the thin wooden walls, searching for a way out. There was no other exit. No way out. Vidar considered the contents of his pockets and wo...

Chapter 37

“We’re not done,” Vidar said, hunching over near Lytir. “I’ve got more questions.”

Lytir opened the book and started to read.

“Hey!” he shouted, waving his hand in front of the vagrant’s face.

“Vidar!”

Vidar stood and turned. “Alvarn! What are you d...

Chapter 36

Cold air soothed his warm, clammy skin at first, but when his sweat began to freeze, each step through the hated crunching snow made him a little colder. Soon, his mind grew hazy, and he focused on keeping his wits about him, trying not to fall unconscious. That would be just the thing. Freezing ...

Chapter 35

Blurry vision forced him to blink several times and shake his head, which felt heavy. Vidar wet his lips and then grimaced as the intense ache from the palm of his hand finally made it through the fog of his waking. Moving his hand was wasted effort, for it was still tied fast to the table. The d...

Chapter 34

“You look terrible,” Erik said, glancing up from his seat by the table when Vidar entered.

Vidar threw the sack at him.

Sven and Erik jostled it between them but finally got it open. Erik removed the lantern, then peered inside. Quite a bit of food remained. They set to eating imm...

Chapter 33

Vidar stumbled out of the circle, panting hard and clutching his chest with his free hand. It felt like his heart wasn’t moving like it should, like it was sluggish and weak. The empty area around his heart had wrapped itself around it, clamping down hard and smothering the life out of him. Eac...

Chapter 32

The bone pillars were much taller than him and bent away as they reached upward. All of them connected to a vertical bone near the floor. Unsure what part of it Vidar was seeing, he turned left and walked along its length. Estimating its size in the dark while only seeing a small portion of the c...

Chapter 31

When he dragged himself into the room, after finally finding the building Erik spoke of, he was dead tired and hungry enough to eat a whole goat.

“You smell,” Erik said as he showed Vidar around.

Vidar didn’t dignify that comment with a reply as he walked around, his eyes wide. ...

Chapter 30

“I am very warm,” Vidar said, clearing his throat and bending over to peer under Jarl’s arm. “I really should return to work. The speech looks like it’s about to start.”

Jarl tilted his head to the side. “Not a builder, then?”

“We are allowed a break to listen.” 2025-01-17 08:24:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 29

“And don’t you dare ret—” the old man shrieked as the door closed, cutting him off.

Vidar brushed off the snow, then stowed the robe that they, for some reason, hadn’t taken from him, in the cloth sack with the bread. The key, he retrieved and placed next to his other one. With th...

Chapter 28

Vidar saw no trace of Yallander or Ren, but the blood and gore all over the floor and across the translucent, bluish barrier between himself and the explosion told him everything he needed to know. He’d killed again. These deaths, however, would not burden his conscience. This, he knew, as he s...

Chapter 27

It didn’t take long to find an entrance free of fire and debris.

“You want us to climb down that?” Ida asked, peering down the dark ladder.

“Yes, and hurry up. We don’t want anyone seeing us, or we’ll have the entire city down there with us.”

She grumbled but slid ...

Chapter 26

“What is that?” Ida asked, peering up into the clear night sky.

A shape moved up there, blocking out the twinkling lights. The sound returned, and then again. Louder and faster as the dark shape grew.

Vidar frowned, repeating her question, “What is that?”

T...

Chapter 24

With the aim of hiding his silver under the loose plank beneath the bed in his room, he made his way back. The smell of food from Edna’s kitchen beckoned, and Vidar ordered in a meal, not having had a single bite to eat in forever.

“A lass is sleeping in your room,” she muttered when ...
