Dolor and Shadow – Prologue: Author Commentary

Execute
Continued from “Awakened” “What the Thor!?” Bergen says almost dropping the Guinness in his hand. “I’ve been reduced to a single category!?” What in Hel’s throne has she been doing to the place in my absence!?

This is a little piece I wrote this morning and will probably be used for Book #5 Enjoy! The stone steps grazed Kallan’s feet as she descended the steps barely seen by the ambient light of her Seidr. Blue light glowed, lining her face as she scanned the cold walls. She had heard it. […]
