The Lords of Alekka

Eye of the Wolf: The Lords of Alekka: Book 01

by A.E. Rayne.

Captured by a desperate lord intent on selling her, Alys de Sant is forced to reveal a dangerous secret to save her life.

Alekka is an ancient kingdom beset with rivalries, and though there has been a period of relative peace, the king’s enemies have grown emboldened, seeking to rise against him and steal the throne.

Trapped in a small fishing village, an unhappy Alys is oblivious to it all until she is torn away from her family and forced to confront the dark forces at work and her own mysterious past.

Lord Reinar Vilander is acutely aware of the king’s precarious position, for his fort guards the bridge to Alekka’s capital. Enemies range above him, planning their attack – enemies with dreamers capable of wielding dark magic. And Reinar fears that a skilled dreamer is worth a few thousand men.

Needing to act fast to shore up his defenses, he takes his ships to sea, looking for slaves to sell, hoping to earn enough silver to tempt more warriors to join him. Though one of the women catches his eye, then captures his attention entirely.

A beautiful woman in a green dress.

Her name is Alys.

And though he doesn’t know it, Alys is about to change his life...

Fate will not be denied.

And those fated to rise cannot remain in the shadows forever.

Trapped in the forest, surrounded by vengeful gods and evil spirits, Hakon Vettel is dying. His dreams of the Alekkan throne in tatters, he must fight for his life while those around him plot their next move.

On the journey to find her children, Alys becomes convinced that someone or something is following her, though her visions are blocked as she desperately searches for an answer before it’s too late.

At Slussfall, Jonas and Vik must find a way into the fort to rescue Lotta, though with enemies lurking behind those old walls, to do so will risk their lives.

And back in Ottby, the king has given Reinar a mission that has him doubting what he is capable of. He wants to rise and prove himself worthy, but what lengths will he go to to keep his oath?

We head North!

It is time to get lost in the land of the forgotten. Time to explore Alekka’s Northern realm in search of that which is missing...

Abandoned by the sun, shunned by the Father of the Gods himself, the North is a wild place; a brutally cold land, where ambitious lords keep their followers warm with tales of how they will be the one to claim the prized crown of Alekka. Stories woven on stormy nights, sung around blazing fires over cups of ale, tell of the one who will unite the two halves of the broken land. They whisper of the Bear Stone, where the prophecy of that man’s coming was etched two thousand years ago.

But who will it be?

by A.E. Rayne.

The race to Ottby is on!

Having heard Gudrum’s threats and Alys’ warnings, Reinar is desperate to head South, back to his family. Though he must be patient. His army is far behind him, and Reinar knows he’ll need every pair of hands to get their fleet back home.

Waiting with his brother, Sigurd is looking forward to his reunion with Raf, unaware that she is now with Gudrum. And though Raf didn’t return to Gudrum willingly, she is still struggling, unable to decide where her true loyalties lie.

In Orvala, Tarl’s dreamer is dying, though he can find no way to help her. His city is a mess, his people are wounded and grieving, but he is consumed by his fears for an unresponsive Mirella.

And in Stornas, Ake Bluefinn farewells his family and readies his army to head to Ottby.

His dreamer may have foretold his end, but the King of Alekka is ready to fight.

Fury of the Queen: The Lords of Alekka: Book 05

by A.E. Rayne.

Four months after the Battle of Tromsund, the Alekkan landscape looks very different.

Reinar has taken his people to Slussfall, where winter’s grip remains strong. There is no sign of Ulfinnur, God of Winter, and he fears that Alari has captured him, intending to keep the sea permanently frozen. For if the sea remains frozen, no ships can sail to Oss, seeking the help of the Islanders. And without the Islanders, Reinar can’t risk leaving the security of Slussfall’s walls to fight an enemy that outnumbers him two to one.

In Stornas, Hector is the king, victorious in his defeat of Ake Bluefinn, though with winter raging and the comforts of his castle proving so tempting, he is hesitant to take the fight to the Vilanders. His ever-loyal ally, Gudrum, has grown frustrated, sensing that Hector is in danger of losing the impetus in the fight to conquer all of Alekka. He urges action, wanting the king’s dreamer, Gysa, to support him. Though Gysa has her own plans. Plans that not even Alari, Goddess of Dreamers, knows about.

Plans that will soon upend everything...
