Time for another update on my current novel-in-progress! 😄

'Malice' by John Gwynne

 Malice by John Gwynne is a high and epic fantasy novel seemingly inspired by medieval and viking influences. It follows several characters growing and changing as a war between gods grows ever closer.   

There’s violent and chaotic giants, enormous wyrms, large Wolven that lurk in dark, bandits that call the forest their home, and angels and demons attempting to trick and recruit people for their own purposes. 

Market Fair

It is a warm day. A wispy breeze caresses your arms and your hair as it moves past you into the growing crowd ahead. Stepping from the dirt path onto the village green, you are grateful for the soft grass under the thin soles of your shoes.

Above everyone's heads, you see the cloth roofs of the market stalls. The smell of baked bread, beer, cooked meat, and spices fill the air like a wondrous invisible fog.

Nature's Station

Wooden slats rotten, splintered

 tracks abandoned, hidden.

Rusted iron carries a bitter taste,

  blackberry stems

grip, tangle, choke the metal.
