A compendium that contains the first three stand-alone novellas featuring the warrior Rayden Valkyrie. Included in Volume I are Blood of a Queen, Winds of War, and The Sun's Caress. With diverse settings, action-driven plots, and an array of fearsome adversaries, the Rayden Valkyrie Tales will satisfy any reader of Heroic Fantasy or Sword and Sorcery! Here is what readers can look forward to in this volume! Blood of a Queen Traveling farther east, Rayden Valkyrie comes upon a city shrouded in fear and anger. A devastating drought has been followed by a nightmarish rash of brutal murders and disappearances that only occur after the sun goes down. A few witnesses speak of terrifying, monstrous wraiths prowling the streets at night. The ruler of Terith-Ka, Queen Annukeyen, claims that the demonic entities have been summoned through dark magic wielded by sorcerers in the rival city of Rastapur. A war looms and the people clamor for vengeance against the city they believe has caused their suffering. Rayden suspects something much darker at work underneath the simmering atmosphere of Terith-Ka. When all others have gone inside with the fall of night, Rayden heads into the empty streets of the city to find answers and confront the evil plaguing a frightened populace. Winds of War The winds of war are stirring. The kings of Thrakkia and Samosia quarrel with each other as a wave of invaders from a powerful empire crashes upon the shores of the nearby Kingdom of Pargemon. Having finished a harrowing mission aiding the Thrakkians deep in their mountains, Rayden Valkyrie understands the looming, perilous threat from the Astrian Empire. Without unity, none of the Griacan kingdoms stand a chance against the much larger invasion that Rayden knows will follow the conquest of Pargemon. With time dwindling fast and the kings set on a course to weaken each other in battle, Rayden undertakes a bold mission. The fate of many lands hangs in the balance. The Sun's Caress At the edge of the world, far to the east, Rayden has joined with a band of pirates led by Timiko, the young widow of a great warrior revered for showing compassion and generosity to the powerless toiling in the fields and villages on the islands of Yamatainu. When word arrives that a raiding fleet is approaching under the command of the pirate Fujimara, a man known for extreme cruelty and barbarity, Timiko and Rayden know that the villages throughout their region are in great peril. Though greatly outnumbered, Timiko's fleet sets out against all odds to confront Fujimara's raiders.

The second compendium of Rayden Valkyrie Tales contains three more stand-alone novellas featuring the heroic warrior Rayden Valkyrie! Included in Volume II are Across Desert Plains, Prowling the Darkness, and Darkness Enthroned! More exotic settings, new challenges, fearsome creatures, and engaging characters abound in these tales that readers of Heroic Fantasy and Sword and Sorcery will love! Here are the tales included in volume two! Across Desert Plains Only the foolish deem the desolate places of the world truly abandoned. Journeying to the Kingdom of Thrakkia, Rayden Valkyrie encounters a large contingent of nomadic Barradans. Knowing the routes through the great desert expanses and the numerous dangers encountered within them, the rugged tribal people are also hospitable to strangers and they welcome her among them. Heading westward to avoid becoming swept up in the ambitions of a bloodthirsty desert warlord, the Barradans have only one other individual among them who is not a member of their tribe; an enigmatic Hebrennan elder. Mysteries soon unfold, and Rayden's own life will teeter on the edge of an abyss. Where no man or woman dwells, things with darker intentions and ravenous hungers can set root, grow, and cast a deepening shadow across desert plains. Across Desert Plains is a stand-alone novella that is part of the Rayden Valkyrie Tales. Prowling the Darkness Dark rumors and whisperings of unholy sorcery bring Rayden Valkyrie to the remote city of Sereth-Naga. There she finds a populace cowering in fear of the city's ruthless, mysterious rulers, who remain behind the high walls of their citadel. An even greater mystery surrounds the city. Something is prowling the darkness. Something that has kept the enigmatic rulers for centuries from escaping Sereth-Naga to spread their wickedness to other lands. Prowling the Darkness is a stand-alone novella that is part of the Rayden Valkyrie Tales. Darkness Enthroned In the heart of a frigid northern winter, Rayden Valkyrie takes refuge in the lands of the Sarvan people when a mounted column of Attun warriors is seen passing along the outskirts of their territory heading west. Far from their steppe domain in the east, the Attun warriors are journeying into a remote, unpopulated wilderness, drawing great alarm from the Sarvans about their purpose. Learning of the situation, Rayden joins with a band of warriors from the area's villages to investigate. Following the tracks of the Attun warriors, they are led to the base of an enormous, ancient burial mound, where the trail vanishes abruptly. A mystery looms, and Rayden seeks to discover the nature of the burial mound and the reason why the Attuns have traveled so far from their homelands to enter it. Darkness Enthroned is a stand-alone adventure that is part of the Rayden Valkyrie Tales.
