Tyr's Hammer: A Foreworld SideQuest

The Foreworld Saga

by Michael Tinker Pearce, Linda Pearce

SideQuests are stand-alone stories or novellas that chronicle the heroes, villains, and adventures in The Foreworld Saga across numerous eras and ages. They can be read in any order with or without prior knowledge of The Foreworld Saga. In this quick-witted and action-packed addition to The Foreworld Saga series, the leader of the Shield-Brethren has dispatched two of his men northward to secure land for a new citadel. When Tyr and his companion come upon the perfect spot, they discover that it is owned by Voldrun, a northern king with a questionable sense of justice. Although he welcomes the travelers, the king's true motives eventually become clear. Determined to be compensated for his hospitality, Voldrun subjects the duo to several challenges, culminating in a game more dangerous than either warrior could ever have imagined. Steadfast and brave to the end, Tyr must draw upon all of his considerable skill and cunning as he endeavors to outwit the sly Voldrun and strives to secure a bright future for the order.

A Fine Side Quest

Tyr and the Shield Brethren join a glorious hunt to prove themselves as warriors.

The Pearces' addition to the Foreworld Saga is lively, with plenty of action, with a nice twist at the end.

A nice sidequest, a story with a touch of the supernatural. Fun short read.

[Daniel Christensen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A short addition to the Foreworld, this had the most overt "magic" of just about any entry, and I wasn't massively impressed.

a really short one, the twist about the antagonist was kinda obvious if you thought about it for a bit.

[Tres Herndon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the supernatural bent of this story, and also the continued look into the earlier days of the OMVI and their activities across different parts of the world.
