The Futhark Chronicles

The Chronicles of Futhark.  Demons, old gods, and desperate heroes battle for the survival of the kingdom of Futhark and the very existence of humanity.

The Keepers of Sulbreth, Book #1


One half-breed elf and a barely trained sorceress have the fate of the world depending on their rare abilities. But someone or something wants to stop them.


The Keepers use magic to hold a world of evil from the surface of the land of humans. Keeper Sabelline Shelton needs the best swordsman in the land to guard her on her mission to reset the magical seals located deep beneath the mountains surrounding the island kingdom. Fortunately for her, Cage Stone is such a man. After he's tricked into joining the cause of the witches and the king of Futhark, Cage realizes if Sabelline doesn't succeed the world of men could end. But forces beyond the understanding of the Keepers work to make sure Sabelline fails.

Men filled with greed and ignorance hinder the efforts of the king while the supernatural creatures test the weakening gate between their world and the surface. Fell beasts attack, targeting Sabelline and the young king. Cage and the other Marshals trained to fight the monsters stand between the city of Sulbreth and the tide of evil swelling ever closer.

Mere swords can do little against the other-worldly host and only by accepting his heritage can Cage hope to stop them. Secrets from Cage's past have long haunted him. All his life he's hidden and suppressed all the things that make him different from other men. Now he must not only accept all his special qualities, he must use every bit of his secret elvish blood to fight against the enemies of all living creatures. But not even the most learned of the Keepers know what exactly they face as each hour brings a new crisis. Can Cage's instincts and skills with weapons be enough to protect Sabelline and put the lid back on the cauldron of hades before it boils over into Futhark?

From their first steps, everything goes wrong. And then it gets worse.

 King Jonared staggers emotionally after discovering Cage Stone is actually his brother. But the mix of joy and loss must wait as a challenger to the throne emerges. An unprecedented number of demons flood from Kingdom’s Gate and gives the usurper a chance to do more than make threats.

 All is chaos for in Sulbreth for Jonared and the remaining Keepers. As he battles for his kingdom and his life, Cage and Sabelline fight for their survival and look for a way back home.

They scour the histories stored in their fortress in a desperate search for a way to stop the demon evil forever.

How can mere mortals stand against a god determined to destroy them?

But how does one kill a god? What weapon can bring down a being who can turn men into monsters and families against one another?
