《Skadi's Saga (A Norse-Inspired Progression Fantasy)》 New story is out! I''ve just dropped the first 9 chapters of Thrones of the Fallen here on Royal Road, and am really excited to be back with a brand new story. I''ve been writing my fingers to the bone with this one, and am already some 250k words in. My hope is that Harald''s story will go the distance, and I can''t wait to hear what you guys think. Here''s the blurb:
Harald Darrowdelve''s journey begins at rock bottom. Born into privilege, his life of indolence has left him with a weak will and a frail body. But everything changes forever when a demon''s mysterious blessing deep within the angelic corpse dungeon beneath Flutic bestows upon him dark, formidable powers. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. But power is a double-edged sword. As Harald trains his body and sharpens his mind, his growing accomplishments thrust him deep into the machinations of Flutic''s noble houses and a relentless celestial conflict raging over the dungeon''s arcane secrets. As Harald grows in might and cunning, will his morality survive the ascent, or will the dark allure of power consume him?
This story features: * A slow-burn progression fantasy with consistent, rewarding growth. * A 100 level dungeon * The story has stats, but is crunch light. * Complex characters navigating friendships, rivalries, and political intrigue. * A unique magic system where power comes from consuming the very essence of a fallen celestial being. Come take a look! (PS: in Skadi related news, I''ve signed a contract with Audible and will be releasing the current chapters this year as ebooks/audiobooks with a phenomenal narrator, Nina Yndis. Nina is a Norwegian actress who not only narrates , but video games as well. Her work includes Final Fantasy and Valhalla Assassin¡¯s Cred. You can check out an audio sample of hers here. Once the current chapters/books are released, I''ll be writing new adventures for Skadi, which will be released directly to ebook/audio next year.) Skadis Saga audiobook is live THE HALL OF THE JOTUNN QUEEN, the first installment in Skadi''s Saga, is now live on Audible. It''s narrated by the incredible Nina Yndis, of Assassin''s Creed: Valhalla and Peaky Blinders fame, and her Norwegian accent takes this story up to 11. This new installment also features the edits that rewrite Yri''s fate, and weave a completely different romantic thread into the story. Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. I''m incredibly proud of this story. Thanks for reading the initial chapters here on Royal Road. Unfortunately I''ve been forced to take down all the chapters due to a massive headache that''s come from making these chapters public: earlier this year a scraper published a pirated copy on Amazon, and though that copy was taken down, the title remained flagged. Amazon thus cancelled my pre-order last week, has denied me the right to publish pre-orders for a year, and refused to let me publish Skadi Saga''s ebook. I''m contesting this, but Amazon is sublimely disinterested in actually reading my emails, and it''s an uphill battle. So. Down come all these chapters, and here''s hoping I get to publish the ebook sometime soon. Regardless - I hope you give the audiobook a chance, and thanks again for reading.
