The Shadow and Scepter: Tales of Méhns Móri (BOOK 1) by Shawn McMichael

A dark and epic reimagining of the Selene and Endymion Greek myth, told as if ripped from the pages of Homer's Odyssey. Once, the gods went to war. Selene, the Goddess of the Moon, was struck down, and her tears fell as stars across a broken world. The dark one was imprisoned, but imprisonment is not the same as defeat. The one-eyed god of death hungers still, finding purchase in the minds of the desperate and the damned. Hidden among the remnants of that forgotten age lies the Scepter of Selene. A divine relic, broken and scattered across a dying world. The only thing standing between mankind and total darkness. Endymion is a healer in a world that has forgotten how to heal. At the edge of civilization, a deadly conflict pulls Endymion in alongside warriors, exiles, and survivors bound by prophecy, secrets, and survival. Because something ancient is rising. Vädumir. Undying conqueror. Cursed warlord. A tyrant who has spent decades hunting the fragments. Kingdoms have fallen trying to stop Vädumir. Armies have turned to ash. Closer now than ever before. And if Vädumir claims the scepter first, the world does not heal. It breaks apart in darkness. Read more
