reviews
wow what a great range and depth of characters
“The sword part of the genre really kicks in once the group comes together…the action is smoothly written and expertly choreographed. And while there are darker themes playing out there isn’t any graphic content, making it a novel that can be widely enjoyed…The world building is clear everywhere.”
Review on BookBub by Aiden L. Turner, author of The Banner of the Broken Orc
Interesting characters, and an engaging story
“Really enjoyed this sword-and-sorcery, DnD-inspired story. It had the vibe of Aching God by Mike Shel as well, about assembling an adventuring crew in order to perform a dungeon crawl against a superior force.”
(Translated from Danish)
A world that it’s easy to immerse yourself in
“…good, detailed scenes especially the action scenes.”
What happens to legendary adventurers when they retire?
Talen is a poor farmhand…but he used to be a famously quick swordsman. Now he has one last job, which could secure his family’s future: he must retrieve a cursed suit of golden armor from a mountain claimed by genocidal orcs. When Talen fails to return from his adventure, a motley crew of rugged ne’er-do-wells must deal with the mysterious person who hired Talen, as well as a family of berserkers. And retrieving the armor will take a grievous toll...

Unfolding the Mini-series
Discover the fantasy kingdom of Kjeldale, a place inspired by Norse and Celtic mythology, rich with bittersweet nuances, and dry wit.
Author Rune S. Nielsen, who previously wrote the acclaimed novel Doomsayer Prince, is back with a completely new series. Layered fantasy stories for anybody who ever enjoyed a roleplaying game or wondered what happens after heroes become legends.
In the first book, A Company of Adventurers, we meet Talen, a retired legendary adventurer who’s not prepared for the stuff that’s about to hit him.
As the story progresses, we get to know several accomplished (and not so accomplished) adventurers who play an important part in determining Talen's fate.
During Book Two, Harbingers of Twilight, the same group of adventurers gets wrapped up in events that decide not only the fate of the Kingdom of Kjeldale but much more.
