Hildebrand Hengest Hermannson’s deep-rooted fire for Indo-European culture and Western Philosophy ignites his first novel, The Fate of Our Union, the inaugural piece in a planned series. His work draws inspiration from a range of national epics, including The Saga of the Volsungs (Norse), Mahabharata (Indian), Aenid (Roman), Odyssey (Greek), Táin Bó Cúailnge (Celtic), and the Shahnameh (Iranian). He crafts these rich cultures into original stories featuring fantasy world-building, dynamic characters, and intricate plots and themes.
His iron weaving is further strengthened by the Stoics, Cynics, and Yogis, who feared not pain, death, or poverty, ordained by the Thunderer and the Fates, and who embraced their destiny like epic heroes. Hildebra
This name Bald Solomon captures the theme of the Path Series™ and challenges me to clear the highest standards on my literary journey.
Let me explain.
Wisdom: Who was the wisest person in the world? The biblical King Solomon, known for his wisdom and fair judgments. Leaning on this name “Solomon” pushes me to create situations rich with insight and guidance, chasing my namesake king's ability to navigate complex moral landscapes.
Action: "Bald" infuses my name with a sense of intensity and directness. The imagery of baldness—coupled with my characteristic candor and plain truth—complements the wise connotations of "Solomon," promising stories that are both action-packed and meaningful.
