The King's Road cover
Volume I · Stone and Oath

Before the legends, there was a road home.

An eastern patrol has fallen silent. Thor rides out to find the missing men and bring his warriors home. Along the King’s Road, the signs of trouble are small at first. The farther they travel, the harder those signs become to ignore.

Behind them, Asgard carries on. Workshops open, families wait, and water flows through the channels that sustain the city. But the troubles beyond its walls will not stay there.

As Thor confronts the danger on the road, Sif, Tyr, Loki and Odin face the strain within Asgard. Keeping their people safe will demand more than strength. It will test their judgment, their loyalties, and the promises they have lived by.

The King’s Road opens a world of soldiers and families, law and duty, where the people who will become legends must first live with what they choose.

Writing & author journal

The gods do not know they are going to become mythology.

They are people making choices inside a civilization that has to keep working tomorrow morning. That is where the Chronicle begins.

Hearth Presence

A quiet way to share the world with other visitors, only if you choose to join.

Not joined. Presence requires JavaScript and a configured service.

Joining sends only your chosen area and a temporary session token to Hearth Presence. No name, reading history, precise position, or saved visitor profile. Small groups stay private: an area appears only when at least three sessions have joined. No exact visitor counts are shown.

Join also loads Cloudflare Turnstile to check for automated requests. Presence ends when you leave, hide this tab, navigate away, or use Clean View. If a request is lost, it expires within 90 seconds. Returning never rejoins automatically.

This shows participating sessions, not everyone visiting either website. It is not a promise that three different people are present.
