Warmaster

For five years, Aderyn has waited to get the Call—the event when the system controlling her world grants her a class and appropriate skills to become an adventurer. When the system makes her a Warmaster, Aderyn eagerly sets out on her first journey. The problem? Her class is useless. No one believes a Warmaster is anything but a joke. They aren’t strong fighters, they have no magic, and they don’t have powerful skills. But Aderyn hasn’t waited all these years to give up now

After accepting the responsibility of the Fated One quest, Aderyn, Owen, and their friends must travel north to the Repository, home to strange sources of knowledge. There, they will discover the next step on their adventure. It should be a straightforward journey, with no complications. But antagonistic traveling companions, an old man who knows more about Aderyn than he should, and countless vicious monsters stand in their way.

The knowledge gained in the Repository directs Aderyn, Owen, and their team to the distant, lawless city of Obsidian, in search of the next clues to the Fated One quest. Obsidian is dangerous for low-level adventurers, and the overland journey through monster-infested wasteland takes months. When they learn of a dungeon called Gamboling Coil that can transport adventurers instantly anywhere in the world, they leap at the chance. But nothing in the dungeon is as it seems, and it will take all the team’s skills to make it out alive.

Aderyn and her friends can tackle any challenge they’ll encounter on their eight-week trek across the continent. They’re ready for monsters, bandits, unexpected quests, and lost dungeons. But nothing could prepare them for the greatest challenge of all: escorting a whiny, self-absorbed fledgling adventurer through the wilderness to Guerdon Deep. The Pathseer Jessemia’s hostility and antagonism turn everyone against her—everyone but Aderyn, who sees Jessemia’s potential to be a true adventurer.

Can Aderyn stop a hidden danger before it destroys those she loves? The quest to discover the truth about the legendary Fated One has taken Aderyn and her friends across a continent and back. They’ve faced monsters, evil humans, and dungeons that nearly destroyed them. Now, they’re ready for something different. A chance meeting with Aderyn’s brother brings them to the city of Finion’s Gate to compete in the Glory Games, where Owen fights a series of duels and the others compete in tiny dungeons, all for the applause of the crowd.

Deep beneath the Lonely Tor lies the Enchanterium, an ancient magical facility where Aderyn and her companions face challenges that test more than their abilities. When their quest leads them to this mysterious complex, they find themselves racing against time—and they're not alone. Another team of adventurers, driven by glory and ambition, is determined to slay the dragon that terrorizes nearby settlements. But as Aderyn's team delves deeper into the Enchanterium's secrets, they begin to question everything they thought they knew about their mission.

Aderyn’s courage and skills are put to the test when she and her friends travel to the Southlands on a quest to repel an invasion of vicious orcs—a quest that requires Aderyn to find and command an army. But in a land where politics can be deadlier than warfare, military strategy soon becomes the least of her concerns.

The war with the orcs has reached its peak, and Aderyn must use every Warmaster skill she has to defeat their violent, relentless onslaught. But when a former enemy appears with new information about the Fated One quest, Aderyn’s loyalties are tested: keep her promise to lead the human armies, or travel deep into the Blighted Range to find and destroy the orcs’ stronghold of Charnel Keep?

In returning to the north, Aderyn leaves behind the horrors and personal nightmares she suffered in the Southlands. But going north has its own challenges, because the new Fated One’s Destiny quest says only that they must bring peace to the Northlands. With little information about this mysterious, uninhabited place, Aderyn’s imagination conjures up dread monsters, terrible environmental hazards, and dungeons no one has ever seen.
