Synopsis of Prowling the Darkness:

Dark rumors and whisperings of unholy sorcery bring Rayden Valkyrie to the remote city of Sereth-Naga.

There she finds a populace cowering in fear of the city’s ruthless, mysterious rulers, who remain behind the high walls of their citadel.

An even greater mystery surrounds the city.

Something is prowling the darkness.

Something that has kept the enigmatic rulers for centuries from escaping Sereth-Naga to spread their wickedness to other lands.

Prowling the Darkness is a stand-alone novella that is part of the Rayden Valkyrie Tales.

Synopsis of Altar of Gods :

Ragnar Stormbringer and a large band of warriors from his homelands find themselves stranded within a mysterious, dangerous land.

Trapped, with no way home, and pitted against a fearsome chieftain’s desire to see all of the northern warriors offered to bloodthirsty gods, Ragnar must call upon every bit of inner and outer strength that he possesses just to survive another day; much less seek a way back to his homelands.

Altar of Gods is a stand-alone novella that is part of the Ragnar Stormbringer Tales.

Synopsis of Weight of Thought:

This compendium is a collection of poems written throughout a decade. It is, essentially, a journey through a young man’s life during that time. From late High School years and well into adulthood, including all the ups and downs that those years gave him.

The hope with this book is to give others a peek into a struggling mind, but also to hopefully interpret each poem for themselves. Most of the writings in this book were not meant to have a singular meaning or purpose. They were written without planning, without forethought, just the emotion and thoughts he had in the moment.

Pure, genuine, emotional.

Abou tthe Author:

Noah Wieczorek started his journey in a small, humble town called Vevay, located in the southeastern part of Indiana. Over the years he has traveled the world, lived in many different places across the states, but has found some footing around the Lexington area of Kentucky. He is there with his girlfriend and her two cats, who definitely keep him on his toes.


He never thought of ever becoming a writer, but he always enjoyed making poetry. The spark that ignited that passion was music, which motivated him to attend online courses at Full Sail University for Music Production.
Throughout the years he has written many poems, most of which are in this compendium. In a sense, he has been chronicling his journey with the writings. His first poem to be published was written in High School and is in the Library of Congress, as part of a nationwide contest.

Noah enjoys writing poetry, playing video games and Dungeons & Dragons with his friends, spending time with his lovely girlfriend, and bringing joy and peace to the world.

Synopsis of Episode One:

The fate of Appalachia lay in the hands of Alex Judge Hunter, a Vietnam veteran, occasional bounty hunter, and father cursed with seeing the dead and those hidden from human awareness. Alongside his daughter, Sammy, whose own destiny will take her beyond the realms, and Alex’s drug-addled Ex-Brother in-law with dark secrets and a bleak future of his own, Jerry Barber, the trio will team up with Zizo, a proud and intelligent leader of an ancient order of guardians, to put a stop to a malicious entity determined to raise some literal hell.

These four will journey across a dark and weird version of West Virginia, circa 1978, brimming with creatures new and old from folklore, myths, and legends. With a bit of luck and each other’s backs, they hope to stop the mysterious Ember Crown order from achieving their goal of raising a long-dead power from the beyond, endangering the realms of humankind, Faye-kind, and the dead.

Every adventure begins with the first step, and this will be theirs… Welcome to the world of New Weird Mythology!

Synopsis of Choices Meant for Gods:

Not even the gods noticed when Amanda Chariss was born with the mark of The Protector. Now she and her wizard guardian hide from a mad sorcerer in a household full of false hope and whispered secrets. The same god who watches over the family school sheltering Chariss will soon reveal her role in an impending war.

When a wizard’s ward sets aside a lifetime of running and fear to accept the responsibilities of guarding an arrogant deity, can she face the trials in the prophecies they uncover? Will Nigel Taiman of her latest refuge dare to use his dragon heritage to bind her to his estate or to help her in her duty?

Choices Meant for Gods is Book One in the Choices Trilogy!

Synopsis of Choices Meant For Kings:

There’s no doubt: Amanda Chariss is in danger. Her geasa is hampered by the effects of a doomed wedding. The dashing Nigel Taiman hides something from her, yet demands she stay at his family’s estate where he and her wizard guardian intend to keep her safe. But the sorcerer Lord Drake and Julette The Betrayer know she’s there, and their monstrous army marches that way.

When prophecies stack up to threaten an arrogant deity, Chariss must choose between the dragon that courts her and the ostracized kings of the Southlands for help. Evil stalks her at every turn and madness creeps over the goddess who guides her. Can an orphan-turned-Protector resist the dark side of her heritage? Or will she sacrifice all to keep her god-charge safe?

Choices Meant For Kings is Book Two in the Choices Trilogy!

Synopsis of Choices Meant For All:

From the foothills of the Freotho Mountains to the marble halls of Mahriket, factions of deities rise to threaten not only Master Rothahn’s crown, but all Onweald’s people. The battles fan the gates of the dark spirit world, releasing demons of every species to aid the enemy, but an embattled Nigel Taiman brings Malachi’s power to the Arcanan Army’s camp in hopes of tipping the balance in his bride’s favor. Dangerous times call for strange allies from all quarters.

To restore the geasa that should save the god she’s sworn to protect, Amanda Chariss must escape the very Betrayer’s grasp and make choices for the good of everyone. Does she have the will to sacrifice all that she holds dear in the process? Dive into the action-packed conclusion of the Choices trilogy to discover how prophecy works with—and against—those who would heed it.

Choices Meant For All is Book Three in the Choices Trilogy!

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.
