A Warrior's Rising

Night falls on the kingdom of Daltenia.

Prince Bernard, eldest son of the king, stalks the alleyways of the capital's poorest district—not for wisdom, not for understanding, but for revenge.

A week ago, a mugger's blade nearly took his life, shattering his pride and leaving him to wonder if he was truly a warrior. Now, he has learned the truth of the world: there are no judges, no rules, no audiences to clap. The only law a man can trust is the one enforced by his own sword.

But Bernard will find far more than he expected.

The Skaalden have come—giant frost demons of mist and shadow, bringing pain, death, and despair. And in their coming, a warrior will rise.

A Warrior's Rising is the first book in Saga of the Known Lands, a grimdark epic fantasy series of brutal battles, dark magic, and warriors tested beyond measure.
