An Epic/Dark/ Fantasy Adventure. Wizards. Witches. Vampires. Warlocks. Risen dead soldiers with their discipline intact.Four twenty-something-year-old Elite Female Shieldmaidens and One Male Adult Teen that has never swung a sword, find themselves grouped-up for an epic quest during an all-out total war against an army of undead soldiers. Risen-from-the-grave. Generally lacking in pain receptors; and seriously devoid of any humor they may have once kept. We have a foreboding quest. A play of a Love Triangle. An invasion of the shieldmaiden's homeland. And a guy who is in the wrong place at the right time.Please forgive the lax in grammar; I did a course and book/Series 1 has finished its final proof. Some formatting issues crept in from changing the font, some commas disappeared (Microsoft Office Word has taken a lot of getting used too—in-hindsight an office You Tube course, but learning Amazon takes a spell too). It will be perfectly rounded soon with more he/she said; which did confuse one reviewer! I am glad some reviews told me this! I am new to this game. Though I am feeling the pride of getting the craft perfected. Every day I work on the grammar and formatting of paragraphs of my first attempt at writing a book.Please look inside for your consideration.
