Valandra #3
Valandra: The Goddess of War Cycle
An epic fantasy novel by multi-genre author Tristan Vick. If you enjoy the Shannara Chronicles by Terry Brooks, then you'll love Valandra!
Three years have passed for everyone but Arianna De Amato who has been stuck in the Nether. Now, everyone and everything she knew is different. Daeris Darkthorne lords over the Twelve Realms with her infernal black magic and the great city of Valandra lies in ruins along with the Holy City Sabolin. Desperate for answers as to how this could have happened, Arianna seeks out her friends but they aren’t the same people she once knew. To make matters worse, Demos Nun, the original mad Titan, has gone on a murderous rampage and has reunited with his siblings Shalendra Fenmoira and Rathal Theodren who, together, set out to destroy Arianna.
Forced to do the one thing she never thought she’d have to do, Arianna strikes a deal with Darkthorne and barters the safety of her friends in turn for a favor—find the Twelves Swords of Sabolin and bring them to the dark sorceress. The only question can Arianna reunite with her friends and find all twelve mystic swords before the Titans find her, or will she fail and allow all of Valandra to fall to ruin?
Valandra is Tristan Vick's first foray into the realm of monsters and magic in the vein of Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, and Brandon Sanderson!
Contains use of magic, a lesbian protagonist, mixed human and elf relations, and magitek Juggernaut automatons made of living armor which run on dragon's eye crystals.

About the author
Tristan Vick
61 books28 followersIn elementary school, Tristan Vick once wrote about an alien which came to earth and ate his all of his classmates. His teacher made him tear it up and write a *different more egalitarian story. Apparently, being the sole survivor of the alien attack wasn't egalitarian enough. Now he writes horror, post-apocalytpic, survival, sci-fi, western, erotica, thriller, romance novels and he's not afraid of mixing his genres either.
Tristan Vick is the Author of the zombie/survival/horror series BITTEN: RESURRECTION published by Winlock Press, and exciting new imprint of Permuted Press.
He is also the author of The Scarecrow & Lady Kingston: Rough Justice, also through Winlock Press, which follows the story of a magical scarecrow that joins the LAPD.
This year (2016) Tristan Vick will release three exciting science fiction novels through his self-owned publishing imprint Regolith Publictions, including Robotica: Ultra Heavy, a cyber punk novel, Exoverse: Invasion of the Draugr, a dark sci-fi horror with ancient astronaut and alien conspiracies, and Little Red Gauntlet, a steam punk fairy tale re-telling of the beloved Little Red Riding Hood fable.
Tristan Vick graduated from Montana State University with degrees in English Literature and Asian Cultural Studies. He speaks fluent Japanese and lives with his wife and kids in Japan. When he's not commuting on the train or teaching English, he spends his time reading, writing, blogging, and eating sara udon.
