The Legend of Mjornia

About the Book

Our journey begins in a mystical realm called Mjornia. It lies in the darkest, farthest, most forgotten corner of existence just between the imagination and reality. Yet it violently flourishes with life. It is a plane of existence where thoughts, emotions, and even consciousness can affect the physical world and manifest around you whether you are aware of its presence or not. It is overflowing with magic, enchantment, and sheer fantasy around every turn and where, in some areas, nothing imaginable is impossible. While lush green forests and hills are the dominant nature for the most part, there are several places in Mjornia that are not so fortunate—places that are beyond the reaches of what is considered safe and habitable lands like the swamps and marshes of Morvoria. Anyone that foolishly wandered in or around that place is neither seen nor heard from again. Then there is the far northeastern Kjolferdorn mountains. Beaten weekly with snowstorms, it is also home to some of the deepest ravines and crevices in all Mjornia. It has openings that stretched deep beneath the surface where numerous large caverns lie. Some stretched on for miles where none dare tread. Others led to ruined underground fortresses made entirely from clear quartz crystals along with other precious gems and minerals. Relics were formed by the most skilled enchanters and crafters in Mjornia’s ancient past. No matter where you find yourself in Mjornia, magic is inescapable, and the allure of such a place mesmerizes you with beauty and wonder. But for now, our story starts simple. It begins with the most innocent form in all Mjornia—a child. However, in this case, it’s actually several children who must discover their purpose and how it affects everything that exists in this realm, before all is lost.

About the Author

Joshua jackson was born and raised in the heart of the apalachian mountains. He was born handicapped, with several physical deformities including severed fingers on his right hand and scars around his ankles that prevented them from growing any larger than that of a small child. However, rather than use these as a crutch, he instead looked at these obstacles as oppurtunities to learn how to overcome the many problems and adversities that we all face in life.Which is why one of the main themes of this book is "What doesn't kill you, simply makes you stronger." Growing up with less financial means than most, he spent most of his childhood at home reading and diving head first into any fantasy novel he came across and the worlds of imagination they provided. Once grown, and having such authors as J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and in more modern times R.A. Salvatore as inpirations in the world of literature in his heart, he decided to try his own hand at being a writer, with "Legend of Mjornia" being his first attempt. Now very happily married with his beautiful wife Brittany supporting him as well as his friends and family, he hopes his stories will inpire future generations in the same way that he was inpired as a child the first time he first stumbled upon "The Hobbit" , which left him mesmerized by the world of fantasy, and has been ever since.
