A young warrior grows to be a man and fights to protect himself and his homeland with the help of a mysterious sword. Walk beside him as he builds his life on the blood of his enemies and the support of his family to become one of the most powerful men in his tribe. Set in a fictional world but (hopefully) historically accurate to the Germanic tribal era, with some Viking bits thrown in.
For some time I had been encouraged by my proofreader, the late Techsan, to put some of my better works into a compilation of sorts. Well, Techsan, this is for you.

They've come a long way since Betty, Alice, and Cammie set off to Windsholme to open their own brothel. The plan was always for them to each branch out into their own place, and now Betty has saved what she thinks she needs to set forth on that venture. She has no idea that she's about to walk into one whore's town, and it's not big enough for the both of them. ( Pseudo-sequel to Lowborn )
