The Elder Lands: A Kingdom Building LitRPG

The Elder Lands, Book 1

By: B. Salem

Narrated by: Raphael Corkhill

The cost of ambition is often less flowery than the dreams that gave birth to it.

Lucan is the son of a landed knight in a kingdom that is surrounded by diverse threats. As he comes of age, he must make peace with both the tasteful and distasteful of his responsibilities. Most important of all, he must find a way to either tame or accept his own ambitions.

In a realm where an underground labyrinth births monsters that hunger to climb into the world of man, it's difficult to be a noble and dangerous to be a warrior. Lucan must navigate a maze of mortal peril and political intrigue if he is to survive and, perhaps someday, thrive.

Enjoy this smooth LitRPG taking place in a gritty medieval setting, featuring allies and enemies that fight with the sword, the word, and, sometimes, the arcane. The people of this realm are no strangers to monsters that prowl the night.

Good Book

I enjoyed reading a book where the main character was competent but not infallible. I felt that the author did a nice job of demonstrating some character development and am looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.

Buy it

Underrated gem in the genre. Low fantasy high plot allows characters to face conflicts and struggle which allows for true character growth

Kingdom building itch scratched

Love the storyline and the kingdom building aspects. Can’t wait for the next one. The narrator is a perfect fit.

Slow but interesting

Not epic fantasy but follows the realistic development of a realistic kingdom. Good narration and interesting problems throughout.

a great start
