Revolt of Blood and Stone: A Stone War Chronicles Novella

Quick Introduction from the Author

Writing is such a curious thing. I love to create, take people by the hand across imaginative and vast landscapes, let them feel the thrill of a fight, or the laugh of a shared joy, but it certainly has its challenges. Working on a five-sentence paragraph for over an hour, trying to find the right words can be daunting. Yet, when everything falls into place, it is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

I've been writing for several years now, adding words, pages, books to my epic dragon adventure series whenever I have the time to write. I love the fantasy genre. Magic systems in all shapes and sizes; epic battles; and let's not forget about the dragons. Such wonderful(ly scary), smart(ish), kind (but not always), ferocious creatures. So, that's what I write... though you will not yet find these majestic scaly beasts in this particular story.

No, 'Revolt of Blood and Stone' is features a side story to my main book series: The Stone War Chronicles. A time before dragons return to the world of Aeterra. In this novella we follow one of the main books' side characters, Sebastian Halloar, during his time in captivity, leading up to their all-or-nothing escape attempt.
In the main series, Sebastian will support Raylan (MC) during the turbulent times of the stone War, but right now that is still far, far away. 

I'll be posting one chapter every week for the next few months until all chapters are online. However, if you can't wait, the entire novella is already available by subscribing to my mailing list, either through my website or Story Origin:

Doing so will support my journey as an author and motivate me through the dark hours of the night to plough through those difficult moments and weave the story together that Raylan, Galirras, and dozens of others, deserve.

- Epic action and desperate battles for survival.
- A strange moving star...
- Vast, unexplored landscapes, filled with untamed creatures and critters.
- A magic system weaved together with the dragons' existence.
- Different cultures, interests and goals.
