Arrow & Blade

Pale Fortress, Book 1

By: Eden Redd

Narrated by: Sierra Kline

Asher Blackwood's heart brims with dreams of joining his father's esteemed guild and embarking on thrilling, daring adventures. But little did he foresee the daunting and cutthroat reality that his cherished dreams would soon confront.

In the realm of Valoria, guild membership is a revered tradition, a rite of passage for those yearning to conquer untamed wilderness, plunge into treacherous dungeons, and unearth enough treasure to rewrite their destinies. Yet, the path to heroism and wealth is perilous, demanding a high price from those who dare tread it.

Bound by a legacy of rangers, Asher is driven to preserve the delicate equilibrium between civilization and the ferocious beasts prowling the untamed lands. To him, this calling promises a brighter future.

But as Asher embraces his destiny, an insidious malevolence slinks within the shadows of the woods, a sinister force that devours the living and hungers for more.

Unaware of the lurking darkness, Asher grapples with his aspirations while camaraderie blooms among his fellow adventurers. However, time is of the essence. Can Asher decipher the truth hidden within his ambitions before an ancient evil consumes him and all he holds dear?
