Book Description
About the Book The collapse of King Harald’s family at the end of The King of the Northern Fells is now in the past, and new fates and fortunes have been fashioned for all. Princess Eir Haraldsdottir is now banished from the Northern Fells and has led an army over the mountains and has invaded the Southern Kingdom. If she ever hopes to return to her native land and reconcile with her father, she realizes she must make her way south to defeat the Pagan Alliance and its king in Avil Baden. Joined with her, though not a part of her army, is King Harald’s old friend, Inga Sigursdottir, a general commanding the small frontier force of the Northern Fells. Also fleeing the wrath of King Harald is the much maligned former Prince of Thornburg, Mattias Denson. He has come south not for war and plunder, but with the Lesti and Bjerne of the Fells who have joined the expedition to set their southern cousins free from the tyranny of the pagans of the Southern Kingdom. The Lesti are enslaved and abused; the Bjerne have been killed and scattered as pagans have encroached on the Bjerne natural habitat on the plains and in the birch forests. Mattias soon realizes that the pagan army of Eir Haraldsdottir and the northern army commanded by Inga Sigursdottir have no intention of freeing Lesti slaves and Bjerne beasts; they want to use the two factions for unknown reasons but mostly to serve them as they make war on Avil Baden and the Pagan Alliance. They and their armies have come south for plunder and riches, the fruits of war and conquest. There soon arises a split, and the armies begin to break apart as a new faction, the wiccans make their presence felt. The witches and spirit folk of the south soon become known as the armies break apart, one going south along the western mountains, pillaging as they go, while another army goes east to explore the mountains where they hope to find Lesti runaways and mountain Bjerne. Betrayal, intrigue and duplicity stand on every corner; friends are not always that, and people are often not who they seem. The second novel of the Chronicles of Mattias series, Eir Haraldsdottir, follows the exploits of the major characters from The King of the Northern Fells as they follow fate and their destinies into war and the unknown.

Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK The War of the Western Pagans was over. Mattias Denson has withdrawn to his home in the Compound in the Southern Kingdom and exercises sovereignty over the Seven Realms, including the Memmet Valley and the entirety of the northern plains. His wives and consorts have likewise settled down, and he is once again a father - many times over. Life is peaceful and happy. Yet ... Not all of his wives are content with the quiet life and, like Mattias, seek relief from the boredom of peace and quiet, remembering the thrill of conflict, battle and war. They are still young, and their lives are not yet fulfilled. Like Mattias, they see further adventure. That opportunity comes in the form of a call from a mysterious western queen seeking his help in ending a possible foreign and civil war. She seeks his aid as mediator and more. Though knowing little of her or her kingdom, he readily accepts the invitation to visit Frijia, the kingdom to the west of the defeated Kingdom of Dar Galan. With his wives and children reluctantly following him, he first visits Galana Prima, the capital of Dar Galan, where he encounters the warlock prince, Lord Mestin Marlat. He first encounters wiccan arrogance and betrayal, then treason from his own witches, causing a rift in the family. From that point, Mattias and his family have each made fateful decisions. They part ways in anger, with Mattias moving west to the Kingdom of Frijia to meet its queen, Lady Freyja, while Mattias's family returns to the Compound. Conflict with the warlock east in Mortem, capital of the ancient caste warlock empire, begins with the first issues arising between Mattias Denson and Emperor Q'in. Mattias continues west as new trouble, as yet unknown to Mattias, foments in the east. Treason and betrayal, war and conflict litter the pages of Freyja Thorsdottir, as matters culminate and redefine the direction of the Chronicles of Mattias. The novel twists and turns, ending with the conclusion of another great war: the Wiccan Wars. How will it end?

Book Description
About The Book It’s now five years after the conclusion of the Wiccan Wars in Freyja Thorsdottir, and peace has broken out all over the Seven Realms. Mattias Denson is now king of seven kingdoms, though he chooses to live at the Kir Oasis in Frijia where he surrounds himself with his wives, consorts and children. He has left rule and governance to others, mostly family, and he does not seek new adventures anywhere. Lord Seth, who helped Mattias end the Battle of Mortem, and his son, Prince Xerxes, have traveled from their kingdom in the Clouds, Nimbus, to live among the Lesti, Bjerne and Pagans of Frijia. Everyone is happy, and the Nimbians, along with the Lesti, Leston, Pagans and Bjerne, have colonized the lands of the Ancient Empire and live there, without an army, in peace and prosperity. The colony has grown from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand. Then things begin to change. Pagans threaten the colony with slavery, breaching the peace of the Covenant, the laws the Nimbians swore to enforce. Oddly, the Nimbian royals, led by the queen-regent, not only fail to enforce the laws of the Covenant, they also refuse to allow the colonists to arm and defend themselves. At the same time, Lord Seth and Prince Xerxes suddenly decide to uproot themselves and leave the Seven Realms to travel west to unknown lands in search of something – or somebody. In the process, Prince Xerxes, now married to Ronja Mattiasdottir, breaks oaths and decides to leave with his father, abandoning his wife and daughter. As the pair make their way west past Boria and Rus-land, they alert Mattias Denson to trouble brewing in the lands known as Terra Mixtum. Warlocks. Immortals. Treachery. The Warlocks of the west are planning to invade, having infiltrated the peaceful enclaves of Terra Mixtum, dominated by peaceful immortals. New conflict awaits Mattias and his family, as he and the Seven Realms are once again swept up in a series of epic battles, wars and intrigues. At the same time, Nimbus is in trouble. More than the kingdom in the clouds awaits him as the story of who and what Lord Seth is begins to unravel. New characters and new peoples are revealed. Ronja Mattiasdottir is Book five in the exciting ten-part series, the Viking series, in which Mattias Denson, after defeating the Warlocks of Mortem in the east, must now travel west to confront new threats and new peoples never before encountered. Fasten your seatbelt, readers. The thrilling ride is about to begin.

Book Description
About the Book Eimear Wolfsdottir resumes the story of Mattias Denson as he continues his quest to free Lesti women and Bjerne beasts of the Southern Kingdom from the servitude and historical abuse they suffered at the hands of their pagan overlords. Mattias is intent on freeing beasts and slaves, and creating a new society based on his governing philosophy, the Covenant. After the addition of witches from the fortress city of Manzil Al’ahzan, he eventually founds a new home, the Compound, in which he plants the seed of his new world order only to have it challenged from within and without. Eimear Wolfsdottir traces revelations of discord and betrayal of Mattias as it continues to unravel what the gods demand of him, and the multitude of challenges, betrayals, and characters that come in and out of his life. Mattias reveals himself as a great family man who is occasionally disappointed by those around him who depend upon him, but take advantage of his good nature.

Eimear Wolfsdottir is an exciting chapter in the narrative Mattias Denson’s life journey, filled with strange new creatures, conflict, betrayal and enduring love. It is a rich tapestry in an alternate world, a medieval world filled with the clashes of social change as old-world evils are laid bare, and a new world of freedom and hope is born. Women adore him, men admire him, and his enemies fear him. But, too, is the long line of those who wish him dead. Enter this world, the world of conflict and struggle, of love won and lost, of friendship and betrayal, of fleeting victory and deadly defeat. Who will prevail, and what does victory look like? Eimear Wolfsdottir continues on this amazing journey in the world of Mattias Denson, one that has just barely begun, and is far from ended.

Book Description
In the sixth book of the Chronicles of Mattias Series, Mattias Denson, King of the Seven Realms, is once again confronted with new characters and adversaries looking to attack his kingdoms, this time through new unconquered territory. New figures emerge as the invaders are unmasked; the invaders have no love for the colonists along the coast of the eastern Mar, or for the rule of law under the Covenant. They are slavers and ruthless conquerors looking for gold and Lesti inventory. Pagan, immortal and Lesti leaders send representatives to Mattias Denson, who now occupies New Nimbus, once the domain of Lord Seth and his son Prince Xerxes. They have left the Kir Oasis and have traveled west in search of Old Nimbus, the kingdom in the clouds. Mattias is soon inundated with new people and their stories of who they are, what they want, and what they want from him. But are they true to anything beyond themselves, and can these leaders be trusted? Problems develop in the far west as well as the far east; his family and his armies are fragmented and unsteady. Alana Q introduces new peoples and characters to the mythology and lore of the Chronicles series which began with The King of the Northern Fells. As the world of Mattias Denson and his wives grows and matures, so too does Mattias as he faces his world burdened by the tasks given him by the gods and challenged by his military and family. New challenges are as frequent as are the betrayals and new characters who pose them. Two armies approach. What will happen to the Seven Realms when the tsunami of evil finally hits?

Book Description
About the Book Amos Bruckford is the retired President and CEO of a large, multinational biotech firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington. He had settled into a life that no longer included work or most of his friends from work; his firm had been bought, then moved to another city. As he took stock of his life, his mind wandered to his ex-wife who divorced him years ago, and his son, estranged and no longer in contact. He was at a point in his life where he was reassessing his past and what little was left of his future; he was sixty-eight and not getting any younger. There was something going on inside his head, something he hadn’t reckoned with either before he retired or afterward. But now that he was wealthy and alone, he had time to reconsider just what had gone so terribly wrong in his personal life that left him without family and friends in the twilight of his journey. He thought maybe a shock to his existence was what was in order, something to distract him from the everyday humdrum of retired life. He had no hobbies, rarely played golf any longer, and his daily routine was, well, utterly routine. Shake it up he thought, but how? It occurred to him the solution was a cruise, a cruise to Hawaii, or maybe in the Caribbean to get out there, mingle with the ladies and find inspiration in something new. He would find meaning, even if it was just company for an evening then a return to solitude. He didn’t mind solitude. It was quiet. As he was ruminating on his target destination, as the summer was drawing to a close, he went for his daily walk along the bay promenade in the downtown area, and noticed, perhaps not for the first time, a young girl, maybe in her mid-teens, sitting on a park bench, her hat out beside her to catch coins from the passersby, her “clients” who passed by every morning going from home or the bus stop to their place of work. The location was excellent and had no other panhandlers as competition. Amos would occasionally drip some loose pocket change in her hat, say hello, then move on. She was a street kid, that was clear, but as he looked more closely at her, and past her level of personal hygiene, he noticed for the first time just how young she was. He wondered what a young lady, a child, was doing on the streets when she should be in school. He passed by for days, then decided to investigate. He approached her, sat down and said hello. He had no idea why. His reception was chilly.
