Tonight is Hexennacht, or more commonly known as Walpurgis Night or St. Walpurga’s Eve—which means today my newest novella, Hela’s Bane, is officially on sale at Amazon! You can get your copy here!
Hela’s Bane is a prequel to The Fae Dealings, and ultimately, a prequel to the Dragon-Myth Cycle, which begins with Enoch’s Device. The novella is a twist on the old German legends about Hexennacht—Witches’ Night. Here’s a description of the book:
What Terrors Come on Witches’ Night?
A.D. 775—The village of Ellryk harbors a terrible secret. One that threatens the lives of three young women. But Maugis d’Aygremont, a knight of Charlemagne and master of the arcane arts, is hellbent on saving them.
The village is bracing for Hexennacht—Witches’ Night. The night each year when Hela descends from the mountain, as she has done for as long as anyone can remember, terrifying the villagers.
Many fear she is Loki’s daughter, the goddess of the dead. A being half human and half corpse-like who rides in on a wave of fog. Yet is there a deeper mystery behind her origin than the legends suggest?
The lives of Maugis and the women he is trying to save may hinge on the answer to that question…
Hela’s Bane is a quick, thrilling read involving many of the same characters as The Fae Dealings. Start reading it today!
