The Black River Chronicles: Level One
You know these characters-the ranger, the fighter, the wizard, the rogue. But how did they
become
those heroes?
Three months into his studies at Black River Academy of Swordcraft and Spellcraft
, Durren Flintrand is stunned to learn he'll be assigned to a party. It's his only shot at advancing beyond
level one
, but there's a catch: Durren has a secret that could hold him back, and his teammates have serious problems of their own.
Areinelimus
, a wizard, fears her own magic.
Tia
, the rogue, can barely tolerate anyone.
Hule
, the warrior, well... let's just say he's
not
the sharpest sword in the armory.
When your most competent party member is a floating, disembodied eyeball, you know teamwork won't be easy. To survive Black River Academy, they'll have to learn to tolerate each other-and outwit angry rat people, dark sorcerers, and a homicidal unicorn or two.
But as ancient forces stir, Durren and his ragtag companions are about to face dangers no
adventurers should ever encounter...
Praise for The Black River Chronicles
"...this book is a lot of fun. Surprisingly realistic fun. Enjoyable, immersive fun. "I want more" fun. And there's a promise that this fun will be followed by more. At the same time, all on its own, this book tells a great tale that comes to a satisfying ending."
