Children of the Bear
A adult fantasy series by Amber Saffen
From bandit to criminal empire, Bryn the Bear prepared his children to take all there is for En to give, but the people of En won’t be beaten down forever and the Children of the Bear are destined to clash.
FAIRHAVEN
Fenrin Brynson earned his title of “Fenrin the Wolf” by being as cruel and vicious as they come, proving the strong prevail over the weak, until the unthinkable happens—he gets beaten.
Jayln, leader of the village of Fairhaven, is now stuck with a captured Fenrin. With the looming threat of attack from two neighboring nations, Jayln offers a tenuous alliance between her and Fenrin’s opposite worlds.
Forced to see the other side of the coin, the unlikely pair determine what kind people they are, who they must be...and whether that is something they can live with.
“Fenrin wandered until he found a small stream where he washed his face and took a long drink of the cool water. What was wrong with him? Why was he doing this?
Because it’s ridiculous and something his family would never do.
That’s what had appealed to him about the whole situation. Jayln’s innocence–her optimism and naivety about the world’s cruelties...for Fenrin, who had been born into a family and land that thrived on the worst humanity had to offer, it was a novelty. He’d played with it out of curiosity, but now he had to decide if he would follow through.
There was no one here to judge his actions. None of Bryn’s men whispering he wasn’t as strong as his father, no sister pointing out his every flaw and dancing on his insecurities—just Fenrin.
What harm could come from following through? If he did, he got the fighting edge he might need against whatever Lyra was planning. If he failed, well, he was just back where we had been before, murdering his way to wealth and fame.
Yes, he would do it.
”Let’s see what following the rules can get me.””
Stadrhym
Daughter of the sadistic Iron Queen Lyra Bryndotter and the broken King Eirik, Fiona is blissfully unaware of the legacy running in her veins. But such ignorance can't last forever and the consequences of her forefathers are fated to catch up to her.
When her mother’s ambition stretches to threaten the entire world, Fiona’s fate is irrevocably tied to all the people of En. If En is to survive, others must follow the path set by Fiona’s uncle Fenrin and rise above the darkness to help Fiona break the cycle of cruelty and pain that is her inheritance.
Lyra’s Tale
Ambition. Lyra Bryndotter has it in spades. Plus the black heart and skills to achieve her goals.
This is a villain prequal chronicling Lyra's fight to the top, reaching beyond what even her father aimed for. Lyra the Tigress always gets what she wants and woe to anyone who tries to stop her.
