The Shackled Verities

Book One in the Shackled Verities Series. An epic fantasy with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing adventure.

Vinnr is a realm of three kingdoms, one of the five realms of the Great Cosmos. The peace between the kingdoms is stable but fragile, and the Knights Corporealis keep their distance from the fickle and divided commoners. After all, their oaths were sworn to celestials, not to people. 

But certain doom has come. A corrupt celestial arrives with a singular focus: to conquer the people of Vinnr and spread his dominion throughout the five realms. As the battle to save Vinnr commences, the Knights quickly find that their fight is not only for their own realm—but for the Cosmos itself.

Embittered and weary of endless battle, Ulfric Aldinhuus, leader of the knights, finds his faith failing. Ready for the challenge and eager to prove herself, Mylla Evernal, youngest of the Knights, takes up her sword readily and without a thought for her own life. And Jaemus Bardgrim, a peaceful foreigner from another realm is caught unexpectedly in the midst of the chaos and just wants to know what in all the worlds is going on.

But surrender is not in Ulfric and the Knights, and with catastrophe nearly at hand, Ulfric is sure of one thing… a sword will never lose its faith in the fight, even if he has.

Book Two in the Shackled Verities Series. An epic fantasy with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing adventure.

Still shackled to his celestial creator Vaka Aster, Ulfric can take a moment of solace in knowing his world is safe from the usurper, and the Knights can mourn their lost companion. 

Their peace, however, is short-lived.

Arch Keeper Beatte is a querulous monarch. When she demands more from Vaka Aster than she’s owed, Ulfric has to decide whether to reveal his new but unsought power and take his place as the leader the people of Vinnr seek, or to abandon them completely in their desperate struggles.

That choice is made for him when betrayer Knight Eisa Nazaria of Dyrrakium returns and reveals a historic deception…and an even greater threat.

The exiled empire of Dyrrakium and its thousands of warriors now await Ulfric’s command to conquer the rest of Vinnr. If he refuses, what price will he pay? If he capitulates, what blood will be on his hands? And if Balavad returns, how will the vulnerable and deeply divided realm possibly face the usurper a second time?

But what if Balavad never left…

Book Three in the epic fantasy adventure of The Shackled Verities, with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing quest.

After Balavad’s attack in Vinnr, all thought Symvalline and Isemay dead. They were wrong. Delivered through a starpath to a realm with three moons and a wystic forest of living stone, the lost mother and daughter arrive during the quiet of night along the banks of peaceful river. For the moment, they are safe.

But this deceptive serenity is about to change…

Hunted and pursued, Symvalline and Isemay are separated. Imprisoned by distrusting foreigners, Symvalline discovers that in a few days’ time, the realm of Arc Rheunos will be ripped apart by a rivalry hundreds of turns in the making, a rivalry she and her daughter have nothing to do with. A rivalry that was, she is certain, caused by Balavad. A war and devastating plague loom on the horizon, and if the malicious Verity wins, another Verity’s realm could be lost.

With the fates of Isemay and Vinnr still unknown, Symvalline is faced with an impossible choice. Either she must turn away from her oath to serve the Verities and find her lost daughter, or she must join the fight to stop Balavad and his vendetta to enslave all the peoples of the Great Cosmos.

Book Four, the final story in the epic fantasy adventure of The Shackled Verities, with magic, monsters, and a Cosmos-crossing quest.

Ulfric and Symvalline narrowly survived Balavad’s attempt to take over the realm of Arc Rheunos, and now find some relief in seeing their daughter Isemay adopt a new life there. If their hopes are answered, it will be a safe one. But hope is a fickle thing.

Jaemus Bardgrim, on the other hand, remains the Cosmos’s most reluctant hero. With the aid of someone quite unexpected, he resumes his quest to save Himmingaze from the Glister Cloud’s looming annihilation.

Yet, none of them can escape the real threat. Vinnr, and one way or another the Great Cosmos, lies at destruction’s doorstep, approaching its final defeat by Balavad’s cruelest Ravener army of all, the enslaved people of Dyrrakium. 

In The Shackled Verities’ final story, the Knights Corporealis go to war against dragørs, Verities, and time itself. They and their few remaining allies must rally for one last fight against Balavad the usurper. Some do it for hope, some for family, some for redemption, but in the end, they all face one truth: a human life is no match for the eternal power of a celestial. If they are very, very lucky, one Knight's sacrifice may be.
