The Turrim Archive

Mantles of Oak and Iron

Grayden thought he had four years to decide his future... he was wrong.

War is imminent. The Igyeum has already begun incursions across Telmondir's borders. The headmaster of the military academy issues a new directive: all students will be fast-tracked through the program. They will be full-fledged defenders by the end of the year. But when a training exercise turns deadly, Grayden must keep his head and become the leader his friends need.

Captain Marik has witnessed evil beyond imagining. Enough to make him sign on to the wizard Dalmir's cause. But will the council of the west accept a pirate among their ranks? And will Marik's crew join this mission, or will they consider him a traitor to all they once stood for?

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains lurks a hidden danger that threatens them all.

The exciting continuation of the Turrim Archive. Book 2 releases January 12, 2024.

Even in the midst of darkness, there is always a shard of light if we will but search for it hard enough and believe in it strongly enough.

Meet the author

Jenelle Leanne Schmidt

Jenelle first fell in love with stories through her father’s voice reading books aloud each night. A relentless opener-of-doors in hopes of someday finding a passage to Narnia, it was only natural that she soon began making up fantastical realms of her own. Jenelle currently resides in the wintry tundra of Wisconsin —which she maintains is almost as good as Narnia — with her knight-in-shining armor and their four hobbits. When she is not writing, she homeschools said hobbits and helps them along on their daily adventures... which she says makes her a wizard.

Join the Adventure

Welcome, Dear Reader

You are stronger than you think. You are braver than you think.

Courage is not about an absence of fear, it is making the choice to face your fear and not let it rule you.

In my stories, you will travel to new worlds with vivid landscapes. You will meet characters who will become your friends. You will go on adventures and fulfill quests and overcome obstacles.

You will be home in time for dinner… but you will not go home unchanged.

Here, you will find a haven from the darkness of the world around you, and when you close the book, my great hope is that you will have found the strength to face that darkness, knowing you are not alone.
