Author: Aidan Tautin

In Yrfel, a land brimming with untamed wildlife and ancient mysteries, three great races vie for dominance: the humans of the eastern realms, the elves of the western woodlands, and the rugged Vikings of the north. For sixteen long years, battles have scarred the land, each faction led by a young but formidable lord with different strengths and ambitions. Highlord Vigrod Frostbane, a twenty-year-old Viking warrior, rules Ravenhall and Drangar. A man of strength and conviction, Vigrod’s imposing figure mirrors his prowess in combat, though he remains open to diplomacy—provided his axe has the final say.

Across the lands, eighteen-year-old High King Nathan Eastmoore presides over High Yrfel and the Steel Isle. Lacking battle experience yet fierce in his resolve, he’s trained for combat his entire life, yet his youth and untested skills leave him underestimated by his foes. Lastly, the elven lord, Kolvar Keawynn, is twenty-five and commands the Elder Branch and Ancestral Grove. Known for his cunning intellect, Kolvar leads a powerful militia unmatched in the world, inherited from his father, who vanished into the Ashbeard forest. As these three young leaders navigate the brutal tides of war, their fates—and that of Yrfel—hang precariously in the balance, driven by honor, ambition, and the weight of legacies past.

The Long Journey transports you to a rich fantasy world of humans, elves, and Vikings locked in epic struggle. Follow young, relatable heroes through a land brimming with magic, fierce battles, and legendary quests. Each step of the journey brings thrilling encounters and unforgettable characters in a vivid, high-fantasy setting like no other. Dive into a tale of adventure, loyalty, and destiny that unfolds against the breathtaking landscapes and mystical realms of The Long Journey, where danger and discovery await at every turn.
