Book Description

About the Book Eimear Wolfsdottir resumes the story of Mattias Denson as he continues his quest to free Lesti women and Bjerne beasts of the Southern Kingdom from the servitude and historical abuse they suffered at the hands of their pagan overlords. Mattias is intent on freeing beasts and slaves, and creating a new society based on his governing philosophy, the Covenant. After the addition of witches from the fortress city of Manzil Al’ahzan, he eventually founds a new home, the Compound, in which he plants the seed of his new world order only to have it challenged from within and without. Eimear Wolfsdottir traces revelations of discord and betrayal of Mattias as it continues to unravel what the gods demand of him, and the multitude of challenges, betrayals, and characters that come in and out of his life. Mattias reveals himself as a great family man who is occasionally disappointed by those around him who depend upon him, but take advantage of his good nature. He wishes to have a family life, but his choice of women is always flawed. Nonetheless, he pursues his dreams doggedly, if not always successfully, seeking to find true love and acceptance. Eimear Wolfsdottir is an exciting chapter in the narrative Mattias Denson’s life journey, filled with strange new creatures, conflict, betrayal and enduring love. It is a rich tapestry in an alternate world, a medieval world filled with the clashes of social change as old-world evils are laid bare, and a new world of freedom and hope is born. Women adore him, men admire him, and his enemies fear him. But, too, is the long line of those who wish him dead. Enter this world, the world of conflict and struggle, of love won and lost, of friendship and betrayal, of fleeting victory and deadly defeat. Who will prevail, and what does victory look like? Eimear Wolfsdottir continues on this amazing journey in the world of Mattias Denson, one that has just barely begun, and is far from ended.
