THE KINGSMEN CHRONICLES #3
GOLDENMARK
Blood soils the righteous. Darkness fills the brave. Dreams die and legends are born in this epic conclusion to The Kingsmen Chronicles.
Castellan Lhaurent den'Karthus has betrayed the Khehemni, annihilating all who would oppose him.
Seizing Alrou-Mendera's throne by a brutally convincing magic, he wages war to fulfill ancient prophecy and unite the entire continent under his rule.
But a savior has also been marked by prophecy, to oppose Lhaurent's dark magic—Kingsman Elohl den'Alrahel.
Captured by the dangerous Queen of Valenghia, Elohl languishes under her sinister magic; to win back the nation, he must vanquish the dark power that holds him prisoner.
As Elohl leads an army of the last surviving Kingsmen in the most brutal war the continent has ever seen, bitter enemies must fight together.
But the ancient magic that unites them might just destroy them, causing all nations to fall to its unpredictable, ruthless power.
As Elohl gives his all in one last battle for the Kingsmen, to save his nation and become the leader he was destined to be, will he succeed?
Or will he fall to the darkness that plagues him—Goldenmarked into his very own flesh?

Complex characters with flaws, heroes that struggle but you can still root for, smart, powerful villains to hate, deep world building going back thousands of years, and magic that is original. It's all here and it's all great!" – Juan M., Amazon US
"Blackmark was great, Bloodmark was fantastic, but Goldenmark was absolutely brilliant. This trilogy is so well written; the creativity and imagination awe-inspiring, the plots that bind them all together so clever.

What can you expect from The Kingsmen Chronicles?
🐉 What kind of fantasy world is this?
The primary fantasy world this series takes place in is European-style. However, the map spans three continents, and the characters adventure to a Viking-style area, medieval French, Italian, Greek, and beyond. A large portion of this story also takes place in a Middle Eastern-style fantasy area, on a desert sub-continent.
📕 How detailed is the writing and what’s the feel of these books?
I write extremely descriptive epic fantasy, like a “movie in your mind”, though I keep the pace moving. The feel is adventurous, blistering, dangerous, political, and wild, a world that feels so real you could get lost in it, and spend hours pouring over the maps and appendices, which are also included.
👩🏻🦰 Are these books intended for adults or teenagers?
I write for the 25+ crowd, with adult issues, deep personal growth, and intense scenes. The multi-POV cast are all ages, and their conflicts with each other can be severe. I don’t pull any punches in the pages, and trigger warnings abound, so these books aren’t for the faint of heart.
❤️ What about relationships? Is there any adult content?
This series does have numerous relationships that develop over the story. There are sex scenes, some decently graphic, although the content always focuses on the relationship between the characters. Their intimacy is part of the story; it effects their relationship and overall situation, helping them grow stronger together by the hardships they go through.
🤖 Do you use AI when writing?
No! I write all my books without AI. I use AI spelling and grammar checks in the final edit, but these books are 100% human-written and therefore, entirely unique.
