Helsgaard's Heroine

Lozen, a homeless half-Aelf outcast, is arrested for a string of thefts and is given a choice: Trial and imprisonment, or become a spy for the king and report to Helsgaard Keep. She arrives at the remote Helsgaard Keep, but hospitality comes at a price. To earn her place among the Keep's defenders, she must first prove her worth in a trial by combat. Her skill and determination shine through, securing her acceptance and opening the door to a new life.

Within the Keep's walls, Lozen undergoes rigorous training, transforming into a formidable warrior. Alongside the Keep's only other Aelf, they share their knowledge with the Humans, honing the warriors' archery skills and preparing them for the looming threat on the horizon.

She emerges as a top-notch Ranger through blood, sweat, and tears, ready to lead the charge against an invading army from her former homeland as they descend upon the Keep. Leading a daring patrol, she sets out to ambush the enemy, her heart filled with a fierce determination to protect her new home when her past and present collide.

In a world embattled in an ongoing 18-year war, Lozen's courage and loyalty will be pushed to the breaking point. Will she rise above the shadows of her past and become the hero Helsgaard Keep desperately needs? Or will the weight of her exile crush her spirit?

Working Title: Hel's Wrath on Jarnborg

Coming Soon

With the end of the 18-Year Aelfinn War followed by two years of peace and the recent discovery of mithril along the Nels River, Helsgaardborg has become the most popular place in the Nordrlönd Peninsula for prospectors and miners.

The war left Eldoria's economy in ruins, prompting many Aelfs to immigrate to Ravnsríki for new opportunities and a better life. As fate would have it, the Aelfs are good at more than just herbs and healing; they can turn their healing hands into pleasure hands, so a night with an Aelf becomes the hottest commodity in the Helsgaard Plateau.

Capitalizing on rapid population growth and demand for recreation and relaxation after a miner's hard day digging in the dirt, Lozen side-hustles as Madam Lozen by running Helsgaard's House of Heroic Healing and Whoring when she is not on the king's spy missions.

The exotic allure of the Aelfinn healing hands proves a potent tool for the spies operating within Ravnborg's bustling social scene. King Valdissen, ever vigilant, recognizes the opportunity presented by these clandestine encounters and promotes Lozen to oversee all Healing and Whoring operations, tasking her with extracting secrets from the unwary patrons, ensuring the security of his kingdom by uncovering any hidden threats lurking within the kingdom.

And if the release date doesn't give it away... this is a parody... not a spicy smut novel, although some readers have expressed interest in this book. Stay tuned...

Continue on the adventure as the lines of morality blur, a night of fun and frolicking can be fatal, and Lozen fast-tracks her career in the political arena of the King's Service.

Helsgaard's Hussies

While overlanding with friends, Norwegian archaeologist Jørgen Helsgaard stumbles upon an ancient burial site in a remote area of Denmark. This leads to the discovery of a remarkably well-preserved body from 1600-1700 years ago. After transporting the body to the Danish Museum of History, he investigates the remains of this intriguing woman, hoping to uncover details about her life and burial. With each examination, he seeks to reveal her story and illuminate the culture and traditions of her time.

The story turns unexpectedly when 3D CT imaging uncovers a startling detail. She had unmistakably pointed ears, suggesting a lineage beyond mere human ancestry. DNA analysis reveals an astonishing truth: she is not entirely human, hinting at a complex and possibly otherworldly heritage that leaves Jørgen challenging everything he knew about human development on planet Earth.

When she arrives at his bedside, her eyes filled with urgency and fear, his world is turned upside-down, and he reluctantly agrees to help her. Unbeknownst to him, this decision pulls him into a dangerous struggle against the Necromancers, malevolent beings determined to dominate humanity. As he becomes more entangled in their dark schemes, Jørgen realizes the stakes are higher than he ever imagined, unexpectedly testing his courage.
