Trollgrave
Alex S. Bradshaw
Something stirs in the Forest of Broken Trolls…
Despite all his skill in healing and runecraft, God-Speaker Alvir Einarson could not save everyone.
In the wake of failure, he seeks aid from an old mentor and witnesses a wave of darkness sweep over the land that, for a single moment, extinguishes all magic.
In the capital, he discovers a fellow god-speaker is missing and the streets swarming with Windborn – resurrected warriors gifted with supernatural powers by the gods’ enemies.
Answers await in the Forest of Broken Trolls, but within its sinister depths even the gods’ protection may not be enough, and no more so than now, when the gods’ strength may be fading and dark powers are on the rise.
One thing is certain: Alvir Einarson would rather die than let the gods fall.
Trollgrave is a standalone Norse fantasy filled with fanatical outlaws, strange magic, and vicious monsters.

Alex S. Bradshaw loves stories with unforgettable characters and epic settings.
He writes gritty and character-driven stories and his books have both been semi-finalists in SPFBO.
He’s also part of Spotlight Indie, a wonderful project and team that shines a light on the amazing work of indie creatives. If he’s not reading or writing then you can probably find him playing games (he loves a good TTRPG), or daydreaming about dinosaurs (not necessarily in that order).
He lives not too far from Stonehenge and the Round Table and can often be found wandering between library shelves or along countryside footpaths.
