The World of Fulminia

Fulminia is a medieval world besieged by divine powers, and torn by mortal conflict. This series centres around a wild land called the Tan'gran'ne'se, which is ruled over by the ancient Lordborn Dynasty.

As the young Lordborn prince comes of age during a time of war and bloodshed, Odall, the god of corruption and death, spreads his creeping tendrils over the land, leaving only desolation in his wake.

While demons and ravenous undead hordes tear a burning scar through the once glorious countryside, Tiius, the god of purity and Justice, sends forth a holy order to cleanse the land and cast down Odall's demons in righteous flames.

Seeking only to aid Tiius in his vigorous cleansing, Duella, the goddess of nature and fertility, calls upon her druids to heal the world's wounds, and restore balance to the forests.

In an age of such turmoil, will the shadows of evil bring ruin to the nation? Or can the crashing waves of war be withstood?

Reader Reviews

"

I read the book like a movie.

Book Two
"

The characters are described so well that I feel emotionally invested in their lives.

Very enjoyable with a worthwhile message about the damage war causes. I think it is an excellent coming of age novel and the main characters are well developed.

The Author

Ben Kilgallon: Medieval Fantasy Novelist

I am a novelist with a keen love for medieval fantasy books and historical action books.

I spend a lot of time experiencing the rich lore of MMORPGs.

From an early age, I found my mind drifting into a world of my own, and in my spare time, I would often find myself drawing maps of imagined worlds, alongside several characters inside them. Far from abandoning this habit, I slowly built upon it until one day (shortly before leaving high school), I began writing my first novel, intending it to be the first of a lifelong career of follow-ups.

Several of the scenes in my novels were inspired by real things I've done in my life. I've worked underground in Scotland before (fitting mining communications cables), I've worked on several farms around Todmorden (in Yorkshire), and I also enjoy practicing my bushcraft survival skills in the wild.

Gods & Magic

Tiius
The God of Purity and Justice

Pure magic: Tiius allows mortals to use his magic so that they may rise to combat Odall and enforce true Justice. Mortals who use this magic type inevitably become acutely aware of the emotions of their world. They deeply feel all the pain in their world, all the suffering, all at once… but they also feel all the joy and love. This magic type makes its users believe that the purpose of life is to make others feel happy, and it also gives them true vision, so that they may see all the unspeakable horrors forced upon the world by Odall, and how he strives to destroy all that Tiius and Duella stand for. Those who use this magic type become obsessively driven to destroy Odall and rid the world of his many evils. They also place a high value on Duella and do their best to improve the lives of those around them.

Odall
God of Death and Corruption

Corruption magic: Odall's magic. When mortals channel Odall's magic, he whispers to them, slowly driving them insane and compelling them to commit unspeakable acts of evil. This form of magic takes control over the mortal's mind, forcing them to become addicted to its use. Odall has only one wish, which is to turn all worlds into barren, inhospitable wastelands of death. All life must die.

Duella
Goddess of Nature and Fertility

Nature magic: Duella's magic. She allows mortals to channel her energy to heal the world and allow life to flourish. Unlike Odall, Duella allows mortals to channel her energies at their leisure, free from becoming addicted to its use.
