booksprout.coFierceFierce was inspired by a trip to Bergen with my wife, and I've also drawn some inspiration from reading Joe Abercrombie's First Law series and Elizabeth Moon's Paksenarrion series. Not to mention all the other fantasy work I've read, back to the Belgariad as a teenager, LOTR, lots of exposure to running D&D as a DM, the entire work of Terry Pratchett, most of Neil Gaiman, etc. It's got a female MC, and I think it would be a good fit for readers who enjoy stories about young heroes discovering their destiny and seeking justice in a world filled with mystery and danger.  There's a smattering of romance in there, but very much a tertiary point, I was trying to write Yngvild as a real person with all the thoughts and desires that go with that. Where are the voices in Ynvild's head coming from?Yngvild grew up on the small island of Straven, with her foster brother Noren, and a small group of adults that crew a fishing boat and look after a flock of sheep. It's a quiet backwater in the Western Isles, and apart from the odd visit by raiders, pretty safe. Until the King's Ship Seagull comes visiting, to keep an eye on the mysterious visitor from afar that has turned up unannounced.Nicknamed 'Yngvild the Fierce' because at the age of 14 she scared off raiders by bouncing a practice arrow off the helmet of their leader, twice. Yngvild and Noren go to the capital, Kronstadt, with Old Bjorn, the man she thought was her father. Helga Trollslayer, Yngvild's long-lost mother, passes Yngvild the sword known as Jafnadr, an heirloom from her dead father. Yngvild, Noren, and others, are heroes descended from the gods. On arrival at Krondstadt they're dropped into the murky world of heroes, and the trouble begins. Now a young woman with voices in her head, which she thinks are from the legendary sword she's just been given, or maybe from the silver talisman she wears round her neck. Yngvild sets out with Noren to find out who killed her father, and seek justice...
Tuk the cat wants to propose #tuxedoCatTuesdays but I'm not sure...

As Drakes dad (my beautiful black lab, follow his account @drake ), I feel conflicted because I don't want the fediverse to pick a favourite but tbh, as a cat, I feel like he's the only one who cares.

My doggo is just happy all the time.
