Blood Storm
Published by Open Road Media
A half-troll and his companions must recover a forgotten magic to rescue their friends in this epic fantasy adventure by the author of Iron Axe.
Danr the half-troll saved the kingdom of Erda from destruction and restored peace to the realm. His own life, however, is far from peaceful. Going out in public, he draws attention from fans and from those who still see him as an evil half-breed. When he learns of a people who once wielded the power of the shape, he dreams of becoming fully human and settling down on a quiet farm with his beloved.
But others would like to possess such magic. Slavers abduct Danr’s friends, ransoming them for the power of the shape. Now Danr, Aisa, and their friend, Talfi the undying, must embark on a perilous quest that will force them to confront the Fates, Death, and a giant wyrm that dwells at the bottom of the sea. If he hopes to survive, Danr must become the hero he is so reluctant to be . . .
Praise for Iron Axe
“[Harper’s] reinterpretations of trolls, giants, and fae folk give this series opener a fresh feeling, while his nods to Norse mythology and folklore root it strongly in fantasy tradition. Readers will be eager to see what’s in store for Aisa and Danr.” —Publishers Weekly
“Steven Harper created a world that I never got tired of exploring.” —The Qwillery
“The story holds all of the adventure, magic, and mystery I have come to expect from the genre. . . . [It] follows a hero’s journey . . . with energy and artfulness.” —Wicked Little Pixie
