Arcane Artificer 4

Dren's Den, Book 4

By: Andrew Karevik

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

Two months have passed since Dren returned victorious from his stint in Drift City.

When he came back, he decided that he would do two things. First, he would marry the love of his life, Salla. Second, he would make good on his promise to Princess Alara Dagon to see the dungeon core located within the West End Mine destroyed.

For that purpose, Dren parties up with a group of seasoned adventurers: a psion, a warrior, a rogue, and a monk. With so much firepower between these five, they should make short work of the dungeon, right? Right?

But what starts as a routine delve quickly turns into a nightmare. The dungeon seals shut, trapping the team inside a twisted gauntlet of evolving monsters and deadly waves of enemies.

While battling for survival, Dren uncovers a long-lost workshop belonging to a Master Artificer, housing a weapon of immense potential. If he can get it to work, it might just be their ticket out… or their last hope in a fight they were never meant to win.

New levels, new loot, and a dungeon that adapts faster than they can clear it. The stakes are higher than ever. Will Dren and his allies slay the core… or will they become just another set of bones in the West End Mine?
