Skharr Deatheater
7 primary works
Book 1
“In every person there is a bit of barbarian waiting to be unleashed.
A moment when one must decide what one is willing to accept.
Death, defeat, or allow one’s carnal rage to take control and consequences be damned.”
—Skharr DeathEater
A lone DeathEater has forsaken his clan.
Leaving behind his previous life he starts building a future next to a dangerous forest in an unknown land.
He tells himself it is better than taking gold for questionable reasons.
A lone old man travelling with a donkey offers him a choice: Continue this farm life, or trade him Skharr’s just finished home and tilled land for a map.
A map that Skharr can use to live large for years… If he survives.
The old peddler watches him.
Realizing the intelligence, the polished actions of the huge man is but an act. A carefully orchestrated semblance of civility, and shudders.
Of all the Barbarian hordes, the rumor was to never, ever upset a DeathEater.
And he had come here to unleash this particular DeathEater back into the world.
Book 2
Book 3
Book 4
Skharr wants a break. He needs a break in his life, and a quiet trip back to Verenvan.
It doesn't look like that is going to happen.
An old god might be making waves in a dungeon that has laid undisturbed for centuries.
No one wants that to happen, so Skharr is asked by a local temple of Theros to get involved.
Unfortunately, the temple does not have many resources to offer him. The one paladin who happens to be nearby is on a sabbatical.
And she has definetly heard of the Barbarian of Theros.
It's Skharr, a paladin on sabbatical, and three mercenaries who are just along for the treasure against what most likely will be power beyond a DeathEater's ability to handle.
Not one to shy away from danger, Skharr and Horse aim their path back to Verenvar.
They just need to find and kill an Old God...and not die before they get there.
Book 5
You are the name others call you.
Barbarian, mercenary, fighter, lover, killer, thief, prince... God Killer.
Emperors call him friend.
He wanted to retire, now he wears a target on his back.
Rumors of dungeons raided, dragons robbed, Emperors showering him with gratitude.
Back in the city of Verenvan, Skharr is attacked.
Not willing to leave him alone, his enemies have made a grave mistake.
Because like a dragon, one should leave a DeathEater asleep.
Now, they have awakened The Barbarian of Theros...
And unlike his deity, there is no mercy in his soul.
Book 7
Book 8
The problem with court politicians is their ability to stab someone in the back, repeatedly.
Skharr DeathEater, the Barbarian of Theros, friend of dwarves and emperors, is a liability.
The mysterious Dealer in Whispers and Death has let it be known in the right ears he can kill Skharr DeathEater. For a hell of a price.
The Dealer has never failed to kill their target in over the two hundred years of their existence, and they love a good challenge.
Can Skharr get himself out of this challenge? Will his friends allow him to go at it alone?
Even the Emperor is shocked to learn he must wait to find out what happens.
Will Skharr survive the Assassin's Trial for a killing (this time) he didn't commit? If he does, how will he attack a phantom no one can find?
