The Path to Blackthorn
Aedric Thornvale possesses a rare gift: the ability to absorb language and power directly into his soul. As the shadow of the tyrant Maeger lengthens over the Titan Peaks, Aedric must learn to balance his RPG combat skills with the arduous path of spiritual progression.
Book 2
The Chains of Gloomwatch
Conscripted into the brutal garrison of Fort Gloomwatch, Aedric must survive a prison-city built on corruption and cruelty. Forced into a class evolution that trades strength for shadow, he becomes the Shadebound Trickster — and forges an unlikely partnership to find a way out.
