FROM THE LEGEND OF THE VOLSUNGS COMES THE STORY OF MYTHICAL HERO SIGURD AS HE JOINS THE OLD WORLD SAGA!

Before The Old World Saga Book Four: Fall Silver Artemis - get ready for a unique entry to the series in this first full novella by Joel Preston! Get to know the famous hero Sigurd before he joins the rest of the characters in The Old World Saga.

Earth's Mightiest Warrior leads straight into Fall Silver Artemis, however, fans of Norse mythology won't want to skip this retelling of the famous Germanic myth.

This novella can be read as a stand-alone story as we follow Sigurd's journey through life. Sigurd who grew up in Denmark, then rode to war to avenge his father. Read as he meets Odin, slays the dragon Fafnir and falls in love.

Then, read as events started in Rise Golden Apollo catch up with Sigurd's peaceful afterlife. The war between Heaven and the old gods arrives in the Norse underworld, and even in death Sigurd is forced to fight again.

-THE BLURB-

Sigurd of the Volsung line was born to be the most noble and heroic of men. When his father dies in battle, Sigurd's mother is taken in by a King Alf of Denmark. Sigurd is raised by his foster father Regin, who forges him a powerful sword from the shards of his father's broken blade. Using his sword and commanding an army, Sigurd rides to war and victory. His next challenge is the slaying of the evil dragon Fafnir, which only serves to further his legend.Sigurd marries Gudrun, a princess of Burgundy. Though he wins many battles and goes on several adventures through ancient Europe, treachery and betrayal find him back at home. With a sword in his chest, Sigurd passes into the afterlife.

Though his story is not yet over. Sigurd's soul enter the realm of Hel, the Norse underworld. At last he can exist away from war and duty. A spiritual cataclysm occurs when the Underworld is attacked by foreign forces. Sigurd's peace is destroyed, and he again must take up arms against a greater foe than he's ever faced.Surviving as a rat in the walls of the new Hell, Sigurd must earn his reputation as a hero and leader against the forces of darkness in the new order of things. In death, Sigurd's new journey has only just begun.

This novella has a lot of easter eggs for The OId World Saga, so you won't want to skip it!

Joel Preston

Currently, Joel lives and works in tropical North Queensland, fresh from moving out of the Australian Outback.Prior to his adventure into the heart of Australia, Joel had an exciting and varied range of jobs, all of which provide an endless pool of information for his novels. After completing a degree in multimedia journalism in Townsville, North Queensland, he hung around university for another year to manage the on-campus night club. After that, life grew a bit less exciting as his hunt for a full time job led him into a couple of years of mundane work. Yet, it all turned around when he applied to be an English teacher in Japan.Moving to Japan showed him a whole new way to live. While it was only for a short period, the experience would have a profound impact. All of sudden, chasing opportunities wasn’t such an easy idea to dismiss.When he returned from Japan, he applied for an exciting government job. He worked at Cairns airport while he underwent test after test until at last he was accepted. And after his training, where did he get sent? Back to the desert where he was born.Outside of work, Joel is a passionate amateur snowboarder, whose main barrier to improvement is what he calls ‘the fear of death’.He also travels frequently, having a few big hikes under his belt. Namely that of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and reaching Everest Base Camp in Nepal. His favourite place in the world is Japan, where he tried to get to every year (when life allows it).Joel is also a big nerd, indulging in many things of that persuasion. He loves the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter (saying without shame that he has read each book over twenty times each).Joel hopes you enjoy his novels and promises there are bigger and better stories still to come.
