Waking up the Giants is a standalone short novella with very unique and magical aspects. There is a war going on between the Amau from the North and the people of Lujor, Nora and Eoghan were send on a last resort type of mission to find the clarion the myths speak of and bring it to the peak of the mountain to raise the giants, the Giants in the stories are loyal to Lujor because it is their home. As such, they would fight for it. 

But what is true, what is make-belief and what is pure magic? This novella is very beautifully written, very magical and inspirational. I would have actually loved this to be a book instead of a novella or even a series! For any fantasy lovers who enjoy a good, short novella this is for you. Definitely recommend it!  💛💛
