Step into an epic world of sword and sorcery, intrigue and betrayal…

The realm of Drinnglennin hangs poised on the cusp of chaos, for Urlion Konigur, the High King, is dying and has yet to name an heir. Rumors abound that the Helgrins, Drinnglennin's bitterest foes, are preparing their longboats to raid the Isle's shores, while the roving å Livåri folk, for whom the island kingdom is the last sanctuary, are mysteriously disappearing. And in distant Belestar, the fabled dragons are stirring from their self-imposed exile.

Drinnglennin's hopes lie with the wizard Morgan, who must gather together and safeguard the king's possible heirs, all of whom are coming of age. Yet a dangerously powerful house seeks the succession for one of their own, even if it means shattering the fragile peace of the realm.

One thing is certain; whoever next sits on the Einhorn Throne will determine the fate of not only Drinnglennin, but of all who dwell in the Known World.

The Drinnglennin Chronicles

Portents of Chaos

Dark days lie ahead for Drinnglennin.

Urlion Konigur’s increasingly unstable mind heightens the urgency to name his heir. His realm is divided and ripe for invasion, and Aetheor Yarl of Helgrinia, emboldened by conquests in Gral, has set his sights once more on the vulnerable Isle.

Master Morgan is among the many who hope the High King will announce his chosen successor at the Twyrn in Drinnkastel, to which Maura and Leif, newly dragonfast, have been summoned. But Morgan cannot protect his young charges in the capital, for he has vowed to find Urlion’s enchanter and the whereabouts of the missing å Livåri.

Meanwhile, Whit, left in Mithralyn to hone his magic without Morgan’s guidance, grows increasingly bitter toward the wizard, while Halla faces a betrayal that will test her courage to its limits. And far to the north, the rift is widening between those dragons who would bind, and those who would, through murder and mayhem, destroy the very fabric of mankind. 

These unfolding perils will resound to the farthest borders of the Known World. For in the Lost Lands, the dark wizard, Lazdac Strigori, is on the rise.

Praise for A Realm at Stake (Book 2) of The Drinnglennin Chronicles: "The interplay of fantasy and royal politics… is redolent of well-known multi-volume fantasies such as George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones saga. However, the intrigues and adventures of [Julius's] characters are entirely original… " —The BookLife Prize 2020.

Praise for Portents of Chaos: Book I of The Drinnglennin Chronicles: “… sword and sorcery, romance, wizardry, and high fantasy… a story [of] great diversity and depth. ” —The BookLife Prize, 2019

A Realm at Stake

Conflicts flare throughout the Known World, and an entire continent teeters on the precipice of war.

In Restaria, the Nelvor’s brutal attack is certain to provoke a swift response from the yarl. Albrenian troops are boldly gathering on their shared border with Gral, a land already overrun with Helgrin colonies along its northern coast. To the south, the Jagar are making deeper forays into Olquarian territory. And on the Isle, although Roth Nelvor is invested as High King to public acclaim, his first appointments strike notes of discord with more than a few lords of the lower realms, and with at least one member of his Tribus.

Amidst this turmoil, the paths of Master Morgan and his young charges will soon diverge. Morgan must fulfill his promise to Urlion Konigur, while Whit resolves to depart Mithralyn and take his future into his own hands. Maura, still in Drinnkastel, is discovering that her position at court may be uncertain. Leif embarks on a dangerous mission alone, and Fynn finds himself imprisoned, left to languish without hope of release. In Gral, Borne’s star is rising as he takes up the life of a soldier, and Halla rides with the å Livåri as they try to rescue their people from enslavement.

Some of them will succeed in their endeavors. Some will fail. And one among them will be cast into Lazdac Strigori’s sphere, as the dark wizard moves ever closer to exacting his terrible vengeance.
