At 17, Ariessy’s world is shattered when she is falsely accused of using forbidden ancient sorcery to heal her ill father. This accusation spirals her life into chaos as she becomes a target in a world of wolves, magic, and dangerous hidden truths.
Determined to find her missing grandmother, Ariessy plunges into a perilous journey, defying the warnings of the Veurrulfar—a secretive military force of wolf-shifters who are bound to protect humanity from supernatural forces. As they try to stop her, Ariessy’s search grows more urgent, and the stakes higher than she ever imagined.
Hale becomes Ariessy’s reluctant ally, their connection charged with a slow-burn intensity that crackles with every encounter.

Ariessy of Midgard isn’t just a coming-of-age fantasy for younger readers—it’s an intense, adventure-packed tale that will captivate adults too. With compelling characters, thrilling action, dark magic, and a young woman’s relentless fight to uncover the truth, this story takes readers through a treacherous world filled with both enemies and unexpected allies.

“I loved myths and legends when I was a school kid, so this myths and magic fantasy adventure from L B Arthur was right up my street. And it truly is a wonderful book, particularly for older young adults looking for a strong minded and relatable MC, excellent pacing, and plenty of suspense. Loved it!
In terms of the AUDIOBOOK, it’s also a bit of a gem. The narrator delivers the story with pace and energy. The story has plenty of twists, the Norse mythology is interesting, and the MC is the sort of lass most ‘listeners’ will be rooting for. Enjoyed it A LOT!"
“'Ariessy of Midgard' is an emotional fantasy adventure story that expertly hits all the right notes for young adult fantasy fans looking for an easy story with a unique blend of Norse mythology to get lost in. There is an alluring romantic aspect woven throughout this novel. Ariessy's is an emotive and engaging character who is headstrong and intelligent. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the story and had a hard time putting it down. The blend of existing mythology and the magic system created by Arthur make for a riveting story.”
