An awesome Norse-inspired world with dead gods whose bones still radiate with power. Three very powerful main characters, each seeking their own path and objective. This is how fantasy should be written without any slow travels. I liked the characters ...more

Quotes by R.M. Schultz (?)

“Where is the witch’s son?” A voice rolled across the hallowed field like a blast from a horn. Snow speckled a headstone before Calec. He lidded his eyes, keeping his head bowed in reverence and in prayer.”
― R.M. Schultz, Knights, Witches, and Murder
