A Pot in the Dark

The Continuing Saga of Thews Thongrin, Norse Warrior

A thud-and-blunder fantasy spoof, featuring the mighty Thews Thongrin, Norse warrior, in his debut short story.

When mild-mannered Arlin Anderssen pisses in the magic Pot of Tiergaard, he is transformed into the mighty Thews Thongrin, Norse Warrior, defender of good and scourge of evil. But young Arlin must keep his identity a secret or risk losing everything—especially his place in the king's household staff as assistant Gentleman of the Privy Chamber.

When the kingdom is threatened by internal intrigues and an external army at their northern border, Arlin's loyalties are tested—and his ability to intervene threatened when the magic chamber pot falls into the wrong hands. A story of vanity, pride, and discovery of one's innermost strength—a strength often hidden, even from oneself.
