The Harvest of Moondew Valley

By: D. R. R. Hatch

Narrated by: Chris Roust

A cozy, slice-of-life LitRPG fantasy about farming, crafting, friendships, found family, low-stakes adventure, and a quest to restore a valley's fading magic.

He isn’t the chosen one destined to save the world. He’s just the guy who inherited an abandoned farm no one else wanted.

Alden is drained. A dead-end job in a grey city is sucking the life out of him, and he’s a breath away from snapping. So when a mysterious letter arrives with a hundred-year-old deed to a magical farm, the choice is easy. He’s trading the city's grime and grind for a fresh start.

But Starshine Farm is a wreck. The fields are barren, the buildings are collapsing, and the nearby villagers are openly suspicious. They whisper that the farm is cursed, and when Alden unearths the former owner's hidden journal, he discovers the truth: Starshine Farm isn't just land—it's the magical heart of the entire valley and its ancient enchantment is failing.

He has just 30 days to restore the magic, but the quest demands the impossible: mend a broken bond with his stepbrother, earn the trust of a reclusive young woman, and soothe the fears of a village terrified of what might awaken.

Can Alden build the bridges he needs to save the dying farm, or will his inability to connect leave him truly and forever alone?

The Harvest of Moondew Valley is the first book in a heartwarming cozy litRPG fantasy series. If you love low-stakes adventures, wholesome town-building, a dash of small town romance, and a journey from loneliness to belonging, then you’ll love this heartwarming slice-of-life farming adventure!
