Synopsis

The first book of an epic progression fantasy series inspired by Scandinavian folklore, The Witcher, and Dungeons & Dragons, where a young man named Hallik has been training his whole life to become a magic-wielder, or Grimnir, to keep his island safe. But when monsters breach the shield protecting his realm, Hallik must venture into the mystical cave of Vanalf to hone his skills to protect everything he holds dear.

Hallik has been training his whole life to become a Grimnir, a magic-wielder who can aid in keeping their island safe from the monster hordes outside the shield protecting them. Hundreds of years ago, Grimnirs created a shield around their island. Hallik has waited his whole life to become one of the elite Grimnir who can keep their enemies at bay.

But when monsters start showing up on the island, it appears they aren’t as safe as they thought. They’ll need more Grimnirs to ensure their safety, but to become a magic-wielder, they’ll need to traverse the depths of Vanalf, a cave system that connects the realms, making it the most dangerous place imaginable. Fortunately, there’s one ragtag crew that’s up to the task.

An epic progression fantasy inspired by Scandinavian folklore, The Witcher, and Dungeons & Dragons, Depths of Vanalf is the first in an epic series that will leave you spellbound.

Depths of Vanalf follows Hallik and his comrades as they learn more about themselves and the monsters around them. Not every monster is what they seem, and working together is the only way to survive the Depths of Vanalf as well as the impeding war against monsters. The beginning was a little slower......more

Goodreads review by Victor on April 10, 2025

I really liked this book! I wasn’t expecting much from it because I just happened on Hunsaker’s TikTok one day and saw this book being promoted, but I figured I would give it a shot and support an indie author. Depths of Vanalf has a strong cast of characters and an interesting world that seems he......more
