About The Gates of Eryad:
When faced with dark days and darker comings, one could feel hope fleeting from them.
Such was the case for Halvi, an orphaned child deprived of his will to live. With no mother nor father to protect him, and enduring the cold winter without a roof over his head, the boy longed for a timely death. But when a risk to see beyond his circumstances was taken, he embarked on the back of a dragon for a journey of a lifetime with hopes to find place and purpose in his life.
Join Halvi as he experiences the continent of Eryad, a land woven from the tales of Celtic, Norse, Slavic, and Finnish mythologies and folklore. Enter with him into the debuting alternate world of Garða and its endless mythos. Embrace the beauty of nature twined with magic, creatures of profound and enchanting allure, but know that all things beautiful have their perils. Will a place of color, magic, and unparalleled beauty bestow to Halvi new meaning? Or will it show him that the life he had was far less dreadful by comparison? Embark on a breathtaking adventure as an orphaned child discovers a world beyond imagination
Enter with Halvi and be welcomed through the Gates of Eryad.

Author Bio:
Hello!
My name is Christopher John Storm, an independent author, world-builder, history buff, and lover of mythology, fables, and folklore. Growing up on the tales of Norse and Slavic mythologies, as well as Celtic folklore and paired with my obsession for history, I’ve always spent my childhood arranging a mythos of my own. I’ve spent more than a decade weaving together a world that pays homage to the European histories and tales I’ve become so fiercely in love with, and in doing so, have created the so-called “Garðian Mythos,” set in the alternate world of Garða (Gar-tha), in which all my stories take place. I hope one day that my stories spread to teach valuable lessons and self reflection, and to touch the hearts of people like the old fairy tales touched mine. I’m all for questions as well!
