Introducing ‘The Man Who Came Down from the Mountains’ (Allfirda Saga, Book 1)
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR BOOK IS ABOUT?
“I was not there, with Sigismund, that night at the Pettitoe, when the Beginning of the End of the World came about. So, you see, I was not a part of it, and therefore have no responsibility in it, contrary to what people say. It is because I took an interest in the story and came to be at every other incident in this travesty, that they have named me: the Bard of ill Fortune, or the one responsible for the undoing of the world. Marhall be cursed, they even named me the usurper’s son, yet it is not true. I am but a simple Bard, and Bard be my name, the one I prefer, anyway, though they have called me by many names in my time on this earth.”
In a secluded glen, where two trade routes meet lies the Pettitoe Inn. Tomorrow is Wyrdsday, a day of worship to the God of Destiny, and travellers have found refuge here from the danger of the wilderness. If not for the Sacred Fire, monstrous horrors will pour from the mountains to hunt for human flesh, and the dead will rise to feast upon the living.
WHAT SETS YOUR BOOK APART FROM THE COMPETITION?
This is a fantasy story based on a LARP (live action role play) I hosted far back in the old days. Swords and sorcery and monsters at an inn in the wilderness. This is also my first book written entirely in English, it’s not published in Norwegian.
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF…
I am an established author. “Kingship” is my first historical novel series, packed with thrills and intrigue from start to finish. Based on historical events from medieval times in Scandinavia and the Kingdom of the Isles, it introduces us to real historical figures. My enthusiasm for the subject and my in-depth knowledge of the
period are unequaled. I have even personally participated in jousts – and have hosted five European Jousting Championships in Denmark.
