About Son of the Thunder Goddess An Epic Fantasy Novella
EVEN GODS DIE. The city of Bridunum is besieged. Saorlach the demigod leads an army of thousands to its walls, eager to pillage and kill. Covered from head to toe in tattooed runes, he bears the blessing of the gods themselves. No weapon can pierce his skin. One by one, Saorlach challenges the champions of Bridunum, taunting and killing them at will. Heroes fall. Morale weakens. Saorlach's victory is imminent. Only one man can stand against him. Athewain, a lowly shepherd of Logren's countryside, longs for a life of heroic adventure. When Saorlach's warriors slaughter his village, he sets out on a quest for vengeance, assisted by an ancient, long-forgotten god known only as the Maker. Now, Athewain must wield the power of this unknown deity to defeat his divinely-protected enemy and thwart his bloody dreams of conquest. But there are enemies within Bridunum as well as without. And the gods, once angered, do not forgive. If Athewain fails, his dream of justice dies with him. And all of Logren will fall to ruin. Son of the Thunder Goddess is an epic fantasy novella inspired by the myth and history of Celtic, Iron-Age Britain. It features feuding gods, immersive worldbuilding, and epic, visceral battles. Great for fans of John Gwynne and Anthony Ryan. Pick up your copy today!
