Lure O' War (The Old Realms)

Lure O' War (the saga starts with Hint O' Magic and ends with Wings O' Fate) follows the events right after  Touch O' Luck ends. It is a direct sequel and follows the story of Glen, the thief from Shroudcoast, now impersonating the grandson of the elderly Lord of Altarin and his colorfull companions. It tells of Lord Storm Nattas struggles, as he tries desperately to prevent the realm from falling into the pits of war, or failing that, make certain he escapes it unscathed. It will sing of gallant Sir Lucius Alden, 'Bloody tiger of the South' and his journey to the distant lands of Fetya, and the faraway 'true' North. A journey of hardships, danger, a desperate search for redemption and the road back to his beloved Regia. It will whisper of a Princess woes and triumphs, in the exotic continent of Eplas. It will speak of a 'demi-goddess' wanting what was promised and Dar Eherdir, the father of all assassins. - [Royal Writathon October 2025 winner] [Royal Writathon April 2025 winner]  [Royal Writathon October 2024 winner]  [Royal Writathon April 2024 winner] [Royal Writathon October 2023 winner] [Royal Writathon April 2023 winner] [Royal Writathon October 2022 winner] [Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] [Royal Writathon October 2021 winner] The Old Realms series: is a long tale split into volumes (Acts) starting with Touch O' Luck Touch O' Luck (Finished) Hint O' Magic (Finished) Lure O' War (Finished) Wings O' Fate (Ongoing) (Part 1,2,3, Solitude's End, Desolation) There will be updates every 3 days. 3 chapters per week. or 2 chapters minimum at Fridays and Saturdays/Sundays 12:00 UK time after the fifth volume.      I) Chapter releases come twice a week, on weekends (Friday-Sunday). An extra chapter drop on Wednesdays/Thursday. I post around 10am normally, but for the summer when it may be a couple of hours later. So 3 chapters per week unless its a multi-part chapter until volume number WOFIII when releases will be 2 chapters per week. II) multi-part chapters come usually within 48 hours for continuity (and because they are written as one chapter for the novel's original form), without being limited from the above schedule.

Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.   The Old Realms saga is only published on RR for free. It is in the author's plans to publish it on Amazon and other platforms at some point.
