The Fortuitous Few by Lee Alexander
In a world teetering on the brink of darkness, an improbable band of adventurers is brought together by fate, bound by a shared mission that will test their courage, unity, and resolve.
Rashe, a charismatic drakonisk bard with scales shimmering like molten gold, seeks fame and fortune. His loyal companion, Adran, a stoic wood elf monk, is a master of martial arts and protector of the innocent. Morros, a cunning tiefling rogue, hides a troubled past behind his sharp wits and sleight-of-hand skills. And Kazalath, a towering goliath barbarian, wields both unmatched strength and a steadfast commitment to justice. Together, they are "The Fortuitous Few."
Their journey begins in the bustling city of Kelrabith, where a chance encounter draws them into a perilous quest: recover the Codex of Whispers, an ancient tome of immeasurable power that has fallen into the hands of a sinister cult. From vibrant cities to frozen wastelands, treacherous seas to hidden strongholds, the adventurers face harrowing battles, betrayals, and ancient evils.
Infiltrating masquerades, braving enchanted waters, and confronting deadly foes like the chain demon and malevolent sea hags, the party uncovers more than just the secrets of the Codex-they discover the true power of friendship, unity, and resilience. But as the shadow of the Baatorian cult looms larger, the adventurers must confront not only external threats but also their own doubts and fears.
Will "The Fortuitous Few" rise to the challenge, or will the darkness consume them?

Perfect for readers who crave epic quests, rich world-building, and action-packed narratives, this story is the first chapter in an unforgettable journey that will leave you yearning for more.
