Sanctuary Books
A rich, character-driven fantasy with Lord of the Rings-like adventure and the fraught political tension of Game of Thrones. Get ready to lose sleep. **This series is complete** Ten thousand years ago, the gods themselves forged weapons of war unmatched by any mortal steel. Most were lost to the mysteries of time. A few...were not. Now Arkaria teeters on destruction as these ancient god-weapons resurface, fueling a brutal race for power among villains and kings. When Cyrus Davidon’s gold-hunting warriors stumble into a dragon’s den, disaster strikes, forcing an alliance with Vara, a razor-tongued elven paladin whose secrets make her as dangerous as she is captivating, and Vaste, a humorous troll whose magic fluctuates between salvation and chaos. Together they must brave the lands of Arkaria and find out who is pulling the strings before the guild of Sanctuary and Arkaria are destroyed. From sprawling battlefields to shadowed courts, every move could tip the balance.
