I've just dropped the first 9 chapters of Thrones of the Fallen here on Royal Road, and am really excited to be back with a brand new story. I've been writing my fingers to the bone with this one, and am already some 250k words in. My hope is that Harald's story will go the distance, and I can't wait to hear what you guys think.
Here's the blurb:
> Harald Darrowdelve's journey begins at rock bottom.
>
> Born into privilege, his life of indolence has left him with a weak will and a frail body. But everything changes forever when a demon's mysterious blessing deep within the angelic corpse dungeon beneath Flutic bestows upon him dark, formidable powers.
>
> This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
>
> But power is a double-edged sword. As Harald trains his body and sharpens his mind, his growing accomplishments thrust him deep into the machinations of Flutic's noble houses and a relentless celestial conflict raging over the dungeon's arcane secrets.
>
> As Harald grows in might and cunning, will his morality survive the ascent, or will the dark allure of power consume him?
This story features:
* A slow-burn progression fantasy with consistent, rewarding growth.
* A 100 level dungeon
* The story has stats, but is crunch light.
* Complex characters navigating friendships, rivalries, and political intrigue.
* A unique magic system where power comes from consuming the very essence of a fallen celestial being.
Come take a look!
(PS: in Skadi related news, I've signed a contract with Audible and will be releasing the current chapters this year as ebooks/audiobooks with a phenomenal narrator, Nina Yndis. Nina is a Norwegian actress who not only narrates audiobooks, but video games as well. Her work includes Final Fantasy and Valhalla Assassin’s Cred. You can check out an audio sample of hers here.
Once the current chapters/books are released, I'll be writing new adventures for Skadi, which will be released directly to ebook/audio next year.)
