Dagnell finds herself in the cold and inhospitable province of Skyrim, where chance encounters send her life down paths she never could have imagined.
Based in the world of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video game, this work of fiction follows both original and existing characters as they progress through several of its major quest lines and beyond. While many of the characters and much of the dialogue is from those quests, they have been enlarged and modified (sometimes greatly) for this story.
About the Author
The author is a retired academic librarian and lifelong fan of epic fantasy, as well as a videogamer since there were video games to play. She finds Skyrim to be a rich and unique platform for storytelling. This is her first return to fiction after a career in academia.
She owes her inspiration and encouragement in this labor of love to a household full of enormously talented writers and artists, to fan fiction writer Erica North, whose Skryim work seeded the idea, to the constant support and input of her friends at the Character Crusade Discord who have read every word, and to YouTuber CouchWarriorTV, whose epic video storytelling proves that any medium can hold a novel. Or ten.
