Avenger
Vetravincus, sword for hire, finds himself fighting for his life against wizards and dragons across the lands of Umbria and Lvendar.
In the lawless town of Dragonskull, brigands want to kill him—he just wants to fence a jewel. But such missions are things of the past after he befriends a persecuted half Thrule who claims to know where a lost treasure is and a gifted swordstress eager for plunder.
From the desert oasis of Dragonskull to the priest-haunted gullies of Gyzia, Vetravincus battles demons, dragons, sorcerers and tyrants in his quest to uphold justice in a lawless world. Tombs of plunder blessed by ancient gods, demonic idols sprung to life by treacherous wizards, no commission is too small for this minstrel of the sword with a fierce heart for the underdog.
If you like your sword and sorcery hard and fast, don't miss this gritty, action-packed saga...

Gritty adventures of the mercinary Vetravincus had me hooked from the beginning. It’s a dark mediavel world full of rogues and wizards ready to slit your throat for a few coins or a few spells. Vetra’s basically a good guy trying to make ends meet. But he quickly rubs the wrong people the wrong way. Enough said. Read for yourself. An epic read.

Action, little story line
Well written action fantasy. I was entertained, but there was little story line. Mostly fast paced action. I would have enjoyed it more if I could have followed a story as well.

Excellent series
Vetra is a moody, sword-slinging wanderer pitched against certain deadly adversaries. Each book has its own intriguing story thread with plenty of action to go along. Swordplay, magic, mischief and mayhem! Definitely an entertaining read!

The main character is on a quest to rescue his sister snatched by slavers into a harem while he was away fighting wars. He runs into all kinds of blood-soaked adventures along the way.
Gripping action. Sword and sorcery bonanza.
