When it is discovered that the Petranni have all taken refuge within a massive stronghold, Ragnar and the others soon fall under the shadow of an ancient, deadly adversary. Wielding his legendary war axe Raven Caller, Ragnar finds his strength tested like never before.

press release, Ragnar Stormbringer, Rayden Valkyrie, Stephen Zimmer

Seventh Star Press Announces New Collections of Rayden Valkyrie and Ragnar Stormbringer Tales by Stephen Zimmer!

Seventh Star Press is proud to announce exciting new collections of both Rayden Valkyrie and Ragnar Stormbringer stories by award-winning author Stephen Zimmer, with individual tales to be released monthly in eBook formats!

The first of these new titles will be the Ragnar Stormbringer novella “Depths of Night”, set for release at the end of March.  “Depths of Night” represents the first Ragnar Stormbringer tale to be published!

The stand-alone tales will give readers a chance to further explore the world featured in the Rayden Valkyrie novels Heart of a Lion and Thunder Horizon.  Releases will include both short stories and novellas.

Stephen had this to say about the new titles:

“While I work on new installments in series such as Fires in Eden and get ready for the release of my first YA novel Dream of the Navigator, I wanted to be sure that my readers had several new tales to look forward to in 2018.

I have written four brand new Rayden Valkyrie short stories and two Ragnar Stormbringer novellas that will be the first of a new batch of releases planned for a pace of about one new title a month.  Readers can look forward to a diverse range of settings for these adventures, which take place at various points in the lifetimes of these two heroic characters.  They do not need to be read in any particular order, either.

Rayden and Ragnar are two very different characters, and I am confident sword and sorcery and fantasy fans will have a great experience adventuring with each of these heroic characters.  Each of these stories involve different strengths and challenges with regard to Rayden and Ragnar, and I have a lot of fun bringing them to life in writing.

The Ragnar Stormbringer character came to life when I developed the storyline for the pilot and accompanying series for Rayden Valkyrie: Saga of a Lionheart. He is portrayed wonderfully by Brock O’Hurn in the independent TV Pilot that we shot in the summer of 2017, but as of yet the Ragnar character has not been featured in my published literary work.  These new tales give me a chance to begin telling Ragnar’s story, in addition to telling more of Rayden’s.

Even better, there is a whole lot more where these came from!”

Continue the adventure that began in Heart of a Lion, and journey with the heroine Rayden Valkyrie through a dangerous world full of sorcery, the supernatural, dark empires and monsters!

Be sure to also look for Rayden Valkyrie coming to the screen in Rayden Valkyrie: Saga of a Lionheart TV Pilot, being produced this summer!

Synopsis of Thunder Horizon: Synopsis of Thunder Horizon: A deadly menace stalks the shadows of the lands to the north, stirring the winds of war. Farther south, the power of the Teveren Empire spreads with every passing day, empowered by dark sorcery. Formidable legions bent on conquest are on the march, slavery and subjugation following in their wake.

Within the rising maelstrom, Rayden Valkyrie has returned to the Gessa, to stand with the tribe that once took her into their care as a child. No amount of jewels or coin can sway her, nor can the great power of her adversaries intimidate her.

With a sword blade in her right hand and axe in her left, Rayden confronts foes both supernatural and of flesh and blood. Horrific revelations and tremendous risks loom; some that will see Rayden’s survival in the gravest of peril.

Even if Rayden and the Gessa survive the trials plaguing their lands, the thunder of an even darker storm booms across the far horizon.

Thunder Horizon is the second book in the Dark Sun Dawn Saga.
