Heart of a Chalyn: Chapter 67
Brynmohr held onto his name. Melt into the One? No, he has too many wayward children who need someone around to keep them out of trouble. This is another chapter I deleted and added back. More than once. While I needed to address what happens to Taegan and Serena,...
Witch of Lurago Chapter 97: Goodbyes
The winnowing begins, yet no death is gratuitous. Each departure serves a purpose in the narrative. Raise a toast to the ones we lost in this book. Some we mourn. Some we will miss. Some we are glad to see go. Brynmohr o’Berwyn. King Brynmohr of the Firstborn. Your...
Witch of Lurago Chapter 79: The Grey King
Here’s where I confess Brynmohr was and is one of my favorite characters of the entire series. Because he was wrong. Did wrong. Knew he was wrong to do wrong. But much of what he did stemmed from being unprepared to step into his brother’s role. He was still...
Witch of Lurago Chapter 25: The Patterns
In Path of the Spirit Runner, Esfir has her eureka moment and comes to understand the nature of the Patterns, the second mindgift unique to the Firstborn. “The Firstborn, Fedor. They sense it.” “They sense what?” “Probability,” she said as if that explained it all. “The patterns they keep...
Prince of the Firstborn
The Firstborn were a curiosity. A people set apart and herded into a corner. Dragons of Urion caged in a zoo. Chapter 21, Legend of the Storm Hawks Today I set my mind on setting aside my pride and giving the book trailer another go, fully expecting the result...
Spirit Runner Chapter 12 – The Elf King
Yes, that was Brynmohr. He has served his kidnapping penance of ten years, imposed by the Dawnguard, and is free to leave the Realm of the Firstborn again. Though he has ventured to Rhynn before today, and has watched his grandchildren from afar, this is the first time he...
Brynmohr
When first we meet Brynmohr… Brynmohr cupped his hands around a passing firefly. He peeked between his thumbs. The firefly lifted its wings to flash a yellow beacon. It tickled his palm, so he let it fly away to resume seeking whatever it was fireflies sought. He was exceedingly...
Storm Hawks Chapter 77: Dawnguard and Brotherhood
Let’s pause and reflect for a moment, shall we? The past few chapters revealed several big secrets, some of which I’m sure you guessed and a few I hope were still surprises. First, the runaway prince. Nigel Willoughby was born Prince Nihyllen o’Berwyn, eldest son of King Berwyn of...
Storm Hawks Chapter 66: Nihyllen
Wait.. who is this guy? Nihyllen appears at Brynmohr’s table in disguise. He must because he is not welcome at Twelvestones. His companion is a mysterious, foreign-born woman. Brynmohr recognizes him and knows to be wary of what the woman might have slipped into his drink. They both refer...
Storm Hawks Chapter 32: Firstborn Society
The Firstborn society is definitely a unique one. Neither a patriarchy nor a matriarchy, its family structure is one I conjured out of nowhere. Well, not exactly nowhere. It came from considerable late night, early morning, floor pacing, drive-time-commute pondering of another evolutionary “what if…” What if a once-dominant...
