Cadmus Brand is the main character of my epic fantasy series, The Rift War Chronicles: Muspelheim. Brand is a former gladiator turned rebel whose main goal is to defeat the demonic kashmari that rule the desert world of Muspelheim.
Brand’s archenemy is the High Lord of the Kashmari, Lord Fafnir. The lord of the kashmari is not subtle about how he wants to use Brand’s magical abilities to escape the prison-realm, Muspelheim, and Brand struggles to slip out of the high lord’s grasp.
Brand is a strong, loyal, and reluctant hero. He is the last in a line of magic users called pharmakons who fight kashmari, evil body-invading demons who dominate Brand’s world. But Brand’s task often seems too large, too complex, and impossible at times for Brand, who often feels out of his depth.
Brand’s greatest strength is his tenacity. He gets beaten down over and over again, and yet the former gladiator always gets back up again.
His greatest allies are the deep friendships he manages to forge along his journey. Wherever he goes, people admire his dedication and earnestness. This magnetism comes with a dark side, however: not all allies have Brand’s best interests at heart. Some of Brand’s greatest challenges arise from trusting those who are trying to use him for their own gain.
