Draugr’s Saga: Beta Readers Call to Action
Watch the Trailer:
What I need:
Beta Readers to give me feedback on the story, the characters, the plot, action etc. I’m trying to accurately represent Ireland in the early Medieval period during the main waves of Viking settlers, as well as incorporate Norse and Celtic mythology.
What do you get for your trouble?
Your name will be listed inside the book as a Beta Reader, and I can list a website or blog addres if you have one. Plus, you get first access to this summer’s blockbuster in Historical Fantasy!
When do I need it?
I want readers to have their comments back 4 weeks from when the Beta Program starts (tentatively May 1’st to June 1’st). The book should end up at 80,000 words, or 320 pages.
Who might be interested?
Readers passionate about Viking and Early Medieval history; fans of the Icelandic Sagas and Eddas; practioners of heathen and pagan religions, such as Asatru and Druidry;
What is the novel all about?
Set in Viking Age Ireland (869 CE), Draugr’s Saga is an epic tale of courage, honor, love, and loss. It weaves the vibrant threads of Norse and Celtic mythology, set in a backdrop where Christianity is making inroads into the Viking settlements in Ireland.
It’s a saga which paints Viking Ireland with as much detail as is possible, while also highlighting the mythic possibilities from our Norse and Celtic ancestors.
Here is a blurb on the novel:
Off the coast of Viking Age Ireland, Aedan Ragnarsson unleashes a terrible evil from a mist-shrouded burial mound. His entire longship crew are cursed and turned into draugar—ancient undead revenants with powers like zombies and vampires.
As sole survivor of the disaster, and an Irish born ex-slave in the middle of Viking held territory, Aedan struggles to survive, then discovers that he has unwittingly spread curse. He vows to stem the apocalyptic tide he has unleashed upon his homeland.
With an enchanted sword forged by the Norse gods, he travels to Asgard and the Land of Tir Na Nog, enlisting allies, both mortal and supernatural, for his battle against the Draugr King, Kirnubog.
