Aragnar Re-imagined: The Journey Begins


After ten years of dreaming, learning, and striving to bring my stories to life, the day has finally arrived when my books are taking off! (Pun entirely intended) As I have previously mentioned, my self-published series that I released four years ago, The Warriors of Aragnar Trilogy, was picked up by Crimson Pulse Media, and repackaged as a four book epic, The Warriors of Aragnar!

Here is the official synopsis, listed below:

"For many decades, stories of betrayal and blood have surrounded the mysterious land of Aragnar, a nation inhabited by winged warriors. A bloodthirsty king has taken the Aragnarian throne, and he is now coming to claim the rest of the world for himself...

Aragnar amounts to little more than legend within a small village on Whitecliff island, but not for long. When Maria Fellbane’s quiet life is interrupted by strange visitors, her destiny is forever altered as the stories of Aragnar come to life. As prophecy and war collide, will Maria be able to stand strong in her faith, or lose everything she loves?"

Not only has the series been updated manuscript-wise, but I was blessed to have an amazing piece of custom art made for the cover! While I dearly love the art I made for the original cover, I knew that I would need a cover for the new version that would truly be professional and eye-catching. However, I had (for whatever reason) not expected such an incredible level of artistic mastery. Perhaps it was because I didn't know what I was expecting, but all I know is that it is an incredible answer to prayer.Wings of Honor will firstly be printed in a first edition hardback, and will feature my original illustrations inside, including character concept art and a map of Whitecliff Island, Maria's home. It will eventually be released in both paperback and eBook editions, but I am personally most excited for the hardback edition, it is going to be beautiful!

I'm deeply grateful that my own art is still included in the book, and I can't wait to hold a copy in my hands. I have many plans for the days ahead, and this series will be promoted far beyond my limited reach. I want to begin planning book signings and other author events, as well as creating some merchandise featuring this snazzy cover art!

Not only will this book be available online, it will be available where all books are sold. This is an incredible leap into the publishing world for a new author, and I am so grateful for this opportunity! We are already beginning to plan for the next few books, as I've already written the next two in the series. I am currently finishing up the fourth and final installment, which will be a powerful conclusion to a truly memorable journey. Not only will I have completed my first book series, but it will open the door for my next series, which I have been writing and tweaking for the past ten years.

I invite you all to embark on an incredible journey of adventure and trials, battles and lore, and the quest for redemption. It is a tale of trauma and loss, but also of hope and victory. Aragnar is a land in turmoil, but quite similarly to our own world, it is showered in echos of light, hearkening to our mighty and powerful Savior.
