Description

 When faced with dark days and darker comings, one could feel hope fleeting from them.

Such was the case for Halvi, an orphaned child deprived of his will to live. With no mother nor father to protect him, and enduring the cold winter without a roof over his head, the boy longed for a timely death. But when a risk to see beyond his circumstances was taken, he embarked on the back of a dragon for a journey of a lifetime with hopes to find place and purpose in his life.

Join Halvi as he experiences the continent of Eryad, a land woven from the tales of Celtic, Norse, Slavic, and Finnish mythologies and folklore. Enter with him into the debuting alternate world of Garða and its endless mythos. Embrace the beauty of nature twined with magic, creatures of profound and enchanting allure, but know that all things beautiful have their perils. Will a place of color, magic, and unparalleled beauty bestow to Halvi new meaning? Or will it show him that the life he had was far less dreadful by comparison? Embark on a breathtaking adventure as an orphaned child discovers a world beyond imagination

Enter with Halvi and be welcomed through the Gates of Eryad.

A wonderful epic fantasy that had me hooked from the very beginning and delivered on all fronts. The story follows Halvi, an orphaned child burdened by a cruel world, as he rides a dragon and ventures into the enchanting continent of Eryad. The author's vivid descriptions bring the landscapes of Garða to life, and the mythical creatures encountered along the way are beyond cool. But it's not just the world-building that shines in this book; it's the characters too. Halvi's journey from despair to self-discovery is relatable and genuine. The pacing is perfect, keeping the excitement and tension just right. It's a must-read for fans of epic fantasy craving a captivating world and a compelling story.
