“Pa told me once you should plan on
getting your heart broken at least three
times when you start dating.” Sten
paused. “I’m not sure what number I’m
on.”
Three Sticks is unlike most postapocalyptic
high fantasy novels featuring
a rebellious, one-armed niece from the
Elven First House. There is no awkward
teen romance against a backdrop of
looming war. Ok, there is a little, maybe
more than a little.
This epic fantasy series primarily focuses
on the lives of two brothers growing up
inside an ancient protective Ward that
blankets the human kingdom. Our two
siblings face challenges in that they are
both mixed race. Sten, the older brother,
is a magicless half-elf, and Hopper, his
adopted younger brother, is half-human
and half-forest giant. As teenagers, the
brothers navigate the dangerous terrain
of girlfriends, bullies, and the strange
creatures that live outside the Ward.
The Ward has fallen, shattering the fragile peace of the realm and unleashing a tide of dark magic from the shadowy lands of Ostlig. As an alliance of humans, dwarves, and elves scrambles to prepare for the coming war, Sten and his brother Hopper are pulled into the conflict. For Sten, it’s more than a fight for survival—it’s a chance to prove himself worthy of the heroic legacy he believes his father expects of him. But as his friends rise to greatness and the forces of Ostlig, led by practitioners of dark magic, close in, Sten’s doubts threaten to consume him. With the fate of the realm hanging by a thread, can Sten conquer his fear of failure and become the hero the world needs, or will darkness claim them all?
The Alliance has forever been on defense in the centuries-old conflict with Ostlig. Now, a path has finally opened to bring the battle to the enemy's soil. Despite a host of obstacles, the King hurriedly sends a small, hand-picked group from Havn to infiltrate the enemy capital, Vocca, in preparation for a full-scale invasion using this new path.
Join Sten as he plunges headlong into a war that will test his morals and innate abilities. Not every challenge he'll face in Mauvai's domain can be overcome with a sword.
Hopper, stung at being left behind by his brother, struggles with his emotions after his girlfriend, Nee, also leaves Havn.
