Fate and destiny do not always align...

Raised within the Temple walls, Baldric has dedicated his life to a single cause: to kill the Elementals and the radical cults that seek to summon them. When the foretold omens begin to reveal themselves, his hunt begins. On his journey, he will face powers far greater than he could have ever imagined.

Svanhild comes from a humble background, and when the opportunity comes, she follows the hunter in search of her own destiny. Her visions lead them north, but even her gift of foresight does not prepare her for what they encounter. Before the end, her decisions will prove to be the most crucial of all.

The Svalkin can see the hands of the gods in many ways. When Bjorn predicts an omen of war, his king must make a decision. This threat is not as straight-forward as it seems, however. The Svalkin are in grave danger, and so are their kingdoms.

Amidst the power struggles of the nation-states, warring racial factions, and the dying will of the Old Gods, these characters will come face-to-face with trials of faith, courage, and betrayal. The world as they know it is about to change; all that’s left to decide, is what they are willing to fight for.

The First Book of my First Series!

The Elemental is the first book I've ever published. I'm officially an author!

This epic fantasy adventure is the book I've been wanting to write since I started writing more than 10 years ago. It was inspired by the fantasy books I loved to read and how they could take me away to some place that was completely different and, in a way, completely my own. No two readers will imagine the same story, so one book can produce so many amazing worlds. It was that thought alone that made me want to write my own fantasy story filled with action and amazing magic.

This series is more than magic and dragons, however. It is a study of autonomy, sentience, and what makes us, well, us. In this story, we follow three very different main characters as well as a full cast of friends and rivals that go through incredible struggles that attack the very basis of what and who they are.
