Synopsis:
The Ragnar Stormbringer Tales, Volume II, contains three novellas previously released in the growing collection on eBook formats. These novellas include The Awakening, Tears in the Snow, and Burning Skies!
The novellas in the Ragnar Stormbringer collection will continue to be released and made available individually on eBook formats, and the compendium is only being released in a print edition. These print compendiums are a great way to make the Ragnar Stormbringer Tales available to readers who do not have eReaders or prefer print editions.
Here are the synopsis of the three novellas included in this exciting new compendium!
The Awakening:
Following the end of a brutal war, Ragnar Stormbringer travels across the sea channel to the west with the warrior Thorsalla to visit her brother’s new settlement in the fertile lands of Ulstara.
Coming upon a scene of total devastation, they find no bodies, but there are a large number of strange tracks heading in one direction and signs of a few survivors in another.
Ragnar will soon discover that some mysteries are the gateways to even greater ones.
Tears in the Snow:
Howling winds carry promises of doom across the far north where a jarl’s people are falling prey to a horrific plight.
Chilling tales describing hordes of ravenous wolves falling upon homesteads and slaughtering every living thing, including men, women, children, and livestock, are not the worst of it. Rumors and sightings speak of a greater intelligence guiding the terrifying onslaught.
With his great war axe Raven Caller in hand, Ragnar Stormbringer and a small band of mercenaries are among the few willing to tread into the perilous lands.
Using wit, courage, and strength, Ragnar will soon discover that tears in the snow are the seeds of dark, powerful mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
Burning Skies:
The Magarian empire is falling under the shadow of the fanatical desert warriors of Adis Khan, who are raiding with impunity from the lands to the east.
Wielding his great war axe Raven Caller in defense of the empire’s borders, Ragnar Stormbringer leads a band of mercenaries, growing swiftly in renown and acclaim.
When the beautiful ruler of the Magarian city Kadaros, Aelia, hires Ragnar and his band of warriors for a secretive mission, a perilous adventure unfolds.
Fearsome wilderness predators, supernatural threats, and roving bands of lethal warriors stand in the way of Ragnar, his warriors, and their mission.
Blood will flow and the skies will burn.
