Berserker & Slayer

Jaran Saerk lets vengeful wrath guide his blade. As scarred in youth by his dad’s murder as he is by battle now, the much-feared Northman berserker has grown into a master of meting out death. But, his latest victim spills more than his dying guts when he reveals clues to the deadly sorceress Jaran vowed to make pay. Blind to the location of the mist-veiled island housing the treacherous spellcaster, the swordsman allies with both a fire-tongued escaped slave and a cunning thief.

Exiled from his home, rebellious Northman Jaran Saerk serves Imperial Shen in the long-running war against the Cardalan Republic. After illegally killing a man, Jaran falls foul of his Shen leaders and finds himself with enemies on all sides. His only desire is to find and kill the witch Sheega, who stole his inheritance and murdered his kin. But first, he has to overcome the creatures she keeps sending his way.

Three companions must unite against the forces of dark magic and faerie as the battle for Ansu continues. Savarna is missing, captured by the witch Sheega. Jaran, Saerk, and Finvar must cross into the frozen realms to save her, battling demons and new terrors. Meanwhile, Savarna’s twin brother must choose: save his sister or save the woman he loves as the warlord Calla invades their land.

As Jaran and Savarna reach his island, Valkador, the witch prepares for their welcome. Sheega has new allies, including the vile trickster, Lofhi, who has a hold over their friend. Finvar has sworn to betray Jaran at the last full moon. Before that happens, they must defeat the giant Gorvaron and Sheega’s other demons. A world away war rages in Shen. Savarna’s twin Vian holds the key to save his empress and her city. But dare he unleash his dragon again? As the enemy attacks, Vian knows they can’t hold out for long.

He grubbed an existence in the dumps outside the city. She was born to wealth and lost it all. Both share one thing in common. They’re good at killing. Slayer versus Dreamslayer. Meet Arraleen and Gujun, two killers on a collision. He’s on the run from his gang, while she’s feeding her panthers and sharpening her blades. It’s only a matter of time before our boy and girl come to blows.

Men call him the Slayer, but Gujun’s running out of options. Promised a villa with sea views he wants to retire, but word is the Shen emperor still desires his head. An ambush proves he has to keep moving. Rask Casparo has one task. Deliver the duke’s daughter, his fiery cousin, Shareze Atario to Ran Genza as his new bride. Should be easy for a man of his talents. But things go wrong fast in this world and a dark spiral of events leads the two renegade Raleenians straight into the path of the most feared man in the east. Gujun the Slayer.

Gujun likes Raleen, and the duke has given him and his new friends a straightforward task. Clean up the Peninsula where the robber barons defy their ruler. His kind of work. Should be fun. Meanwhile, across the Liaho River, two warlords converge on their enemy, Raleen and its hated duke, Cazar Atario. With them is a woman in black. Secretive and deadly, a gifted killer.
