The Thralls of Fate by Alan Harrison Pdf

Morrígan wants to become a mage, but her uncle, Yarlaith the White, refuses to train her. Of course, he doesn't understand that the world is more dangerous than ever. Only days ago, her mother was killed by a mountain troll, and Morrígan was helpless to intervene. Now, a small army has stationed themselves in Morrígan's village, sent by King Diarmuid. He claims that the Simian rebels to the north are threatening to attack the Human kingdom with their advanced weaponry, but there are some who question his motives. Either way, machines are no match for magic, which is all the more reason for Morrígan to learn.... Meanwhile Farris, a Simian double-agent, uncovers plans that King Diarmuid is planning a pre-emptive strike on the Simian City of Steam. Farris embarks on an intrepid voyage across the kingdom, where he must choose between siding with his own people or preventing a brutal civil war.

Fate's Weave by Ragnar Hambraeus Pdf

In the hazy history of the Old Norse… When Gisle and Geir come back from a day’s hunting, they find their farm devastated, their parents and farmhands killed, and the women of the farm gone, including their sisters Gunn and Ginna. Since their older brother Olof is trading goods in Friesland, they take shelter with their uncle Fridbjörn and his wife Holmdis, the skillful seer. No one travels through the dark night – no one but Nattfari. One dull autumn evening he knocks on the door and asks for lodging. Then he makes predictions about friends and kin, astray and in foreign lands. He tells of Olof and Gangulf in Friesland, he foretells the fate of the sisters on Zealand, and he warns of misfortune and death. Fate’s Weave is a historical adventure novel, a story of life and death far back in time, in the historical haze of Europe’s migration era. Meet the depressed berserker, Gangulf; sisters Gunn and Ginna, who sleep with three kings before winter turns to spring; the Anglo-Saxons Hewald and Hewald, who preach the word of God to Frisians and other heathens; Styrbjörn and Hreppir, who find each other in Gypeswic’s mud; the old edda Crust, decrepit but with a mind of steel, thrusting her spear at warriors; as well as Finnvid, the Finnveding who executes a splendid Yule blót at Bolmsö, thus overthrowing the invasive king Ingvald. Meet Harald and Vigr, Eirbjorg and her daughters, King Erik in Uppsala, and, last but not least, Nattfari. The Nattfari who travels far and wide and who is called by many names... Meet them and many more, whose threads of fate run together and form a strange and mighty weave.

Fate's Long Shadow by Marcela Carbo Pdf

Her power was born of a giant's rage. She treads a treacherous path, where a whisper could mean her demise. Jassae's world shattered when giants ravaged her peaceful village. Instead of killing her, they thrust her into a cage as a precious captive, an unexpected jewel to control the Dark Goddess. The once-formidable giants are teetering on the brink, their age-old might slowly but surely fading away. In Jassae, a priestess dedicated to a goddess who inspires more dread than reverence, they see a glimmer of hope for survival. During a night cloaked in darkness and studded with stars, Jassae reads the bone runes, conduits of ancient wisdom. As she holds the bleached fragments in her hands, a prophecy unfolds, foretelling the rise of a mighty chieftain. The giants believe she holds the key to securing the coveted chieftain's throne. The storm clouds of war gather, stirred by the revival of old grudges. Jassae's survival depends on her ability to harness the power growing within her, a force capable of devouring her mind and soul. If she can leverage her gift to install her chosen master on the throne, she may reach her first century and achieve her destiny as a priestess of the Dark Goddess. Yet, the path she walks is fraught with danger, and a misstep carries a terrible price: annihilation... and the end of her sorcerous bloodline. Fate's Long Shadow takes place in a dark setting and is intended for adult readers. Read it as a standalone or as part of a trilogy of interwoven stories.

Ten Moons by Andrew Hall Pdf

Ten moons will rise. And with them, so shall evil. For twenty years, the land has known peace. Now, in the belly of a great city, unholy powers stir. The dead shall walk, the streets shall know chaos and humanity itself will face extinction. And yet, one man shall stand strong. If only he knew his potential. Under these moons, Jalbrek shall learn his destiny, but will struggle to realise the magnitude of his burden. A young orphan boy, taken in by the Church and raised to adulthood within its cloistered walls, he knows nothing of his fellow man. But he must learn, and learn fast, if anyone is to survive this nightmare. Sanity has no place in this hell. But then: "Faith does not require sanity."

Egil's Saga by E. R. Eddison Pdf

Egil's Saga is the tale of the long and brutal life of Egil Skallagrimsson, the tenth-century warrior-poet: a morally ambiguous character who was both the composer of intricately beautiful poetry and a physical grotesque capable of staggering brutality. It recounts Egil's progression from youthful savagery to mature wisdom as he struggles to avenge his father's exile from Norway, defend his honour against the Norwegian King Erik Bloodaxe, and fight for the English King Athelstan in his battles against Scotland. Translated from Icelandic by the great fantasist, E R Eddison, and accounted by many to be the greatest of the Icelandic sagas, Egil's Saga is a fascinating depiction of a deeply human character.
