Preferring to spend his time playing a favorite fantasy board game rather than preparing to take over his family's farm in Norrøngard, Karn teams up with half-giantess Thianna and flees into the woods to escape a dragon, an undead warrior and other fantastical adversaries. Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
Fantasy fans of Rick Riordanâs Percy Jackson and John Flanaganâs Rangerâs Apprentice series will embrace this first novel in an adventure-filled, Viking-inspired series by a debut author.
Meet Karn. He is destined to take over the family farm in Norrøngard. His only problem? Heâd rather be playing the board game Thrones and Bones.
Enter Thianna. Half human, half frost giantess. Sheâs too tall to blend in with other humans but too short to be taken seriously as a giant.
When family intrigues force Karn and Thianna to flee into the wilderness, they have to keep their sense of humor and their wits about them. But survival can be challenging when youâre being chased by a 1,500-year-old dragon, Helltoppr the undead warrior and his undead minions, an evil uncle, wyverns, and an assortment of trolls and giants.
Readers will embark on a sweeping epic fantasy as they join Karn and Thianna on a voyage of discovery. Antics and hair-raising escapades abound in this fantasy adventure as the two forge a friendship and journey to unknown territory. Their plan: to save their families from harm.
Debut novelist Lou Anders has created a rich world of over twenty-five countries inhabited by Karn, Thianna, and an array of fantastical creatures, as well as the Thrones and Bones board game.
