Book Synopsis
Bothvar Beorcolsson
Through fire and ice I will fight to find honor. Whether it be giants or creatures of the night, I’ll fight. Pain is my comfort, and sorrow is my companion. Death follows wherever I go. Even the sun hides from my sight.
Bothvar they call me. My journey isn’t an easy one. It follows a long and broken road full of the bones of those who I couldn’t save and those who got in my way. My blades are soaked in the blood of my enemies, but my heart is left in shattered pieces, broken by the costs of my actions. All for what? Honor? Glory? I don’t know anymore.
Maybe I have gained honor, but all I have to show for it is pain. yet I must carry on. I must earn my place among the halls of the gods so I can see my loved ones again. That is why I carry on to fight again. And I will not stop until I am reunited with them.
Whether it be giants or the gods themselves, I will always fight on.
Lura Syllana
I will do whatever it takes to save my family. Afterall, it is my fault they were enslaved. If I had only listened to my father. If I heeded his words and did what was right instead of what was easy they wouldn’t have had to pay for my mistakes with their freedom. Now it is up to me to do whatever it takes to find a way to free them.
Even if it means sacrificing myself and my own freedom. I don’t care what happens to me. I’ll gladly pay any price to save them.
Of course, I said that, but I had no idea what was going to be asked of me. What price I’d have to pay. I didn’t know what I’d have to do to save them. Even so, I’d sacrifice everything to see them free. Even my own freedom. Even my own soul. Which I will soon find out is the very price I must pay.

Join Bothvar and Lura as they go through pain and sorrow and climb mountains and cross seas, all to save and protect the ones they love. Follow their journey as they discover true love, honor, and glory.
Broken Souls is a Dark Fantasy with a bit of romance. It’s inspired by Viking culture, but it is no way an accurate portrayal of historical Viking culture. It takes place within a fantasy world that’s heavily influenced by ancient mythology and lore of many different cultures among other things. That being said, this book contains some pretty graphic and controversial topics such as slavery, sexual assault, death, war, violence, blood, mental health, drug addiction, and many other controversial topics. This novel includes The Bound Soul and The Damaged Soul which makes up the first third of the book.
Part 1 and 2: The Damaged Soul/The Bound Soul
Part 1 and Part 2 are presented in separate books that are samples and are made free. Part 1: The Damaged Soul tells the story of Bodvar’s journey through The Longest Night, covering his childhood and some of the hardest and most tragic moments of his life. In Part 2: The Bound Soul, we follow Lura’s journey through her childhood, up until she’s arrested and put in chains. Part 3: the Broken Souls combines both part 1 and part 2 along with part 3 into the book 1, interweaving them into one big story while continuing their journey until they meet, which will be continued in part 4. If you’ve read either part 1 or part 2, you can feel free to skip Bothvar or Lura’s chapters until you reach the end of Part 1 or Part 2. Since Bothvar’s journey is a bit longer in Part 1, his journey will start up later in part 3 while Lura’s journey will start earlier in the book in Part 3.
