Visigothic Jay P Newcomb

Visigothic: On Destiny's Edge is the third installment of an epic series of books by storywriter Jay P. Newcomb. In this volume, the story takes up at the point where book number 2, Visigothic: Wizards and Kings, left off and spanned four years until the resumption of the fight for freedom by the ancestors of the Goths against the forces of a maleficent sorcerer. It sees the reunion of Princess Eileza Andavarsdottir of the Dwarves with her young lover, Sigmund the Volsung, Duke of Wodenburg, and the continuation of their famous and legendary romance. The plot of Hister unfolds as he still seeks to gather together from all across Midgard the eight pieces of the All Seeing Eye in a mad attempt to bring about the twilight of the gods and conquer the world. At the heart of his scheme is the kidnapping of the Leprechaun boy Liam O'Hurleyhune, son of Shamus and Molly O'Hurleyhune, in order to force Molly, to exchange the most vital eighth piece of the All Seeing Eye-a powerful talisman known as the Heart of the Sea-for the return of her innocent tiny son. Molly was entrusted to guard the Heart of the Sea by the merewif of the Celtic Sea during the great Midgard war. The wizards and the mages of Midgard with their Druid allies must prevent the forces of darkness from consuming both Molly and the world-and the Tervingian Kingdom, ruled by King Sigurd and Queen Gwynnalyn, must rise to the occasion and assemble its forces in order to save the world from the mad machinations of the most evil tyrant in the history of Midgard, the sorcerer of Dakkia, Adawulf Hister, brooding and scheming from his evil black stone castle.
