It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line.

It was night, but there was a full moon. And a young girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me.

Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"

A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war.... more>>

The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something.

I) Touch O' Luck is the prologue (or opening act) to the Old Realms series of novels
(Hint O' Magic,
Lure O' War,

II) All tags are relevant, but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, lust, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

[The evil, conniving and secretive crow goddess chose me to become her champion-husband, so that I can protect her from the powerful, justice-loving warrior lion god, but I'm actually a very kind person and she’s kind of an awkward, weird-smelling, conspiracy-theorist and now I've fallen into a life of crime because of it!]

What happens when a hopelessly lost, yet unwaveringly kind soul is surprisingly chosen by a hated, evil goddess in order to become both her champion and husband?... more>>

In a densely magical era, the gods themselves live in the world’s cities together with the ilk of mortal people — whether humans, fairies, elves, or any other races that lie in between. Great temples, schools, and industries to hundreds of different deities are maintained by their many followers as the countless faiths compete for power by gaining more worshipers through whatever means necessary. Adventuring deep into the hearts of dungeons, slaying dangerous and rare monsters, creating wondrous guilds, or crafting incredible things in honor of their patrons — no task is too much to ask for those people in service of the divine.

This great competition has brought about an age of prosperity and wealth to the world as the gods fight to out-compete each other in the race for followers.

— For most.

Others, however, who do not fall into the favoring eyes of any gods who would want them, for lack of power, talent, or social standing, find themselves abandoned by both Heaven and their fellow citizens.

One such unwanted wretch, the young, runty, mouse-human half-breed Majiko — a destitute orphaned survivor of the destroyed city of Souzerain — suddenly finds himself caught up in a chaotic situation five years after his traumatic past. Despite being rejected from every house and temple of the gods in the new city, he is taken by surprise to become the husband of the secretive, reviled crow goddess with one wing and one eye. However, she is the very same wanted person who has been accused of the heinous crime of destroying his home and killing his family.

But perhaps there is more to the situation than it first appears?

Denying responsibility and claiming that the two of them are now bound in a conspiracy four layers deep, she awakens Majiko to a secret world that has been around him all of his life. Strange happenings abruptly set in motion all around them, and he fights to understand the real nature of the grand conspiracy that he apparently has always unknowingly been in the very center of.

Taking on the mantle of the weakened goddess‘ protector, it is up to Majiko — marked for death — to not only care for the broken deity but also to find out what really happened to both of them five years ago, even if that means forsaking his sense of honor and justice along the way.

Can a kicked and beaten lowlife from the streets rise up to stand in the halls of champions amongst the greatest in the world, or will both he and his mischievous, strange wife-creature be crushed underfoot like vermin before they can reveal the truth? Is the strange crow really as innocent as she claims, or is this all another ruse in order for her to slip through the grasp of justice once more?

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

In the fractured Kingdom of Stormwatch, Princess Adora faces a grim future. Far from the throne, and thrust into a contest for her hand by the ruthless Prince Nicobar, she's resigned to being a pawn in his power-hungry schemes.

Nicobar's hedonistic, iron-fisted rule is enforced by the Sheriff, a relentless, enchanted metal-mechanical enforcer who hunts down anyone daring to defy the crown. Yet, even he cannot stop Grimholt -the notorious, enigmatic outlaw leader -whose daring exploits have captured the hearts of the people and the ire of the Prince.

As the contest unfolds, Adora finds unexpected allies and foes among the court and the bandits. Though she is powerless to stop the Prince's machinations, her heart is drawn to a mysterious, daring competitor. Dawning a plague mask and adopting the name 'The Prince of the People', he challenges not just Nicobar's plans, but everything she thought she knew about courage and justice.

With storms brewing and the Sheriff closing in, the Princess must make a choice: will she risk everything for a chance at her freedom- and a love as wild as the magic of Stormwatch? <<less
