The Shadows of Balor
A Warrior’s Reckoning – Book One By M.D. White
When raiders destroy her village and murder her husband, Eira is thrust into a world of war and ancient gods. With only vengeance to guide her, she joins a warband of outcasts—each bearing their own scars—to stop the rise of Balor, a god of ruin long thought to be myth.
But Balor is waking. And the dead no longer sleep.
As clans divide and the veil between worlds thins, Eira must confront prophecy, sacrifice, and the cost of war itself.
The first battle is survival. The second is against fate.
The Enemy From Within - Book 2 of the Shadows of Balor Series
They thought Balor was the end. They were wrong.
The Rift has opened deeper than ever before, and what lies beyond isn’t just darkness—it’s memory twisted into ruin. As Eira and her companions push into a dying world where time forgets itself and shadows rewrite the living, they must face a truth no one wanted to believe: The greatest threat isn’t what waits beyond the gate—it’s what has already been invited in.
Haunted by what they’ve lost and hunted by the echoes of their own pasts, the final survivors of the resistance must uncover the ancient will fueling the Rift… before they become part of its story forever. Some doors weren’t meant to be closed. Some enemies were never truly defeated. And some endings write themselves from within.
When The Gods Fall Silent - Book 3 of the Shadows of Balor Series
The gods are gone. The war has just begun. The battle against Balor should have ended everything—but it was only the beginning.
The Veil that once separated the living from the forgotten has been torn open, and something older than the gods has begun to stir. Haunted by visions and hunted by shadows, Eira and her warband journey into cursed forests, ancient temples, and forgotten graves to uncover the truth: the old gods are silent because they are afraid. And what’s coming is not just war—it is unmaking.
As the Morrigan rises and the Forgotten Ones awaken, the last warriors of the realm must face a terrifying choice: search for gods who may never answer… or become the myth that stands in their place.
When the Gods Fall Silent is the next dark chapter in M.D. White’s mythic saga, blending ancient power, broken prophecy, and unrelenting sacrifice into an epic tale of gods, ghosts, and the mortals who dare to stand between them.
The Making of Thorsen - Book 4 of the Shadows of Balor Series
BEFORE THE LEGEND, THERE WAS LOSS.
He was never meant to be a warrior. Thorsen built a life with his hands—tending a quiet farm, raising a son, loving a woman who gave him peace in a world that had none.
But when marauders steal everything he swore to protect, something ancient awakens in him. Not prophecy. Not destiny. Resolve. With nothing left to bury but names, Thorsen returns to the forge—not to craft tools for living, but weapons for remembering.
His journey through fire, grief, and blood will shape the man known only in whispers: a towering presence with a blade like none other… and a silence that speaks more than any battle cry.
Before the champions. Before the banner of Balor. Before the shadow fell— There was a farmer. There was a father. And then… there was Thorsen.
