Synopsis of the Series:

The Thunder from Above Series is a historical fiction story based in the Viking Age. It takes place in the
late 9th Century in Norway, Scotland, Denmark and Iceland.

This story is a journey, of the human spirit as well as a journey to new lands. It is a world where some still
worship the old Norse gods, while others have accepted Christianity.

It is a story of people who each must struggle to find their place within a world that is often harsh.

It is about love and acceptance, strength and weakness.

But it is not complete without the touch of the mystical and hope for a better future.

Castles and Warlords, Witches and Warriors, A one-eyed giant of a man, a dwarf and even a wolf.

Storms and chaos and the search for inner peace. Learning to believe in each other as well as oneself.

All this leads to a final battle in the third book, when the earth will quake and the sky will rain fire, as
lightning streaks the heavens and the god claims his vessel.

Here's what one fan wrote:
Harsh Innocence, book one of the Thunder From Above trilogy by Tracy
VanGorp, is an epic tale that grabs the reader's attention from the opening
passage. The story is seamlessly told in a writing style that reflects the intensity
of both the author, and setting of the book. VanGorp has done a masterful job
of creating and bringing to life a myriad of characters with whom the reader
can connect. A unique feature of this novel is the variety of genres represented,
readers will be pleased to discover that the book has a range from historical
fiction, to romance, drama and even some fantasy. Reader's will be left with a
feeling of wanting more, and with excitement and anticipation for the soon to
be released book two, Bitter Passage!!!!
