Works as is, there is more, no doubt, but it isn't needed. Good read.

Well, as the author, I reserve the right to expand upon it in the near, or likely distant, future 😅

Viking Fantasy Fiction is where it's at. My wife and I have been watching the History tv show so it's been on my mind a lot.

You should read David Gemmell's "Rigante" series. It's Celtic/Viking inspired. Also, here's another one of mine that's a bit more of an in-depth look into this particular world:

If that's the opening of the Chronicles, it's a good one.

Thanks for the compliment, Ben. I greatly appreciate it. However, the "Chronicles of Cyron" is just what I call my fantasy anthology series (for now). There's no real overarching story: Just a bunch of disparate characters getting into various shenanigans within the same fantasy world.

There is more to the story, no doubt. But it ends well here.

Yeah, I might have to revisit this at some point. I had a whole epic in mind, but it just wasn't ready to reveal itself 😬
