synopsis
A dark cloud has settled over the Eastern Kingdom. The Shadow Knight and his henchmen sow terror among travelers, spreading chaos from the outskirts of the capital to the serene country backroads.
Amidst this treacherous landscape, Hollis McNeill, a wealthy merchant, embarks on a perilous journey to transport goods to the illustrious City of Queens. Aware of the dangers lurking in the snow-covered mountains and the dreaded Forest of Souls, Hollis enlists the aid of four intrepid companions:
Gustin, a former cavalry officer and a bold tactician who wields his longsword with deadly precision.
Faelintari, an elven Blademaster possessing unmatched speed and agility, making her an unbeatable opponent.
Erin, a quiet and enigmatic archer rivaling even the most skilled ranger with her mastery of the bow.
And Draigistar, a carefree wizard with an extraordinary command of spells, wielding magical abilities far beyond his years.
The menacing Shadow League stands ready to attack Hollis’ entourage and claim their spoils, but little do they know they have gravely underestimated the courage and skill of this new band of protectors.

BOOK 2, "A FIGHTER'S DESTINY"
synopsis
As Hollis McNeill journeys toward the twin cities, the Shadow Knight and his league of evil henchmen relentlessly pursue the wealthy merchant, intent on robbing him of his gold. Despite repeated attacks on McNeill's slow-moving column of wagons, the Shadow's ambitions have been thwarted at every turn.
Standing in the way are the four intrepid adventurers Hollis hired to protect him: Gustin, a former cavalry officer; Faelintari, an elvin Blademaster; Erin, an expert archer; and Draigistar, a carefree wizard. These fiercely loyal friends whom Hollis fondly refers to as "the four," are determined to see the merchant safely to his new home.
But their mission doesn't end there. Befriended by a roguish sea captain and a band of unconventional dwarven fighters, they plan to strike at the heart of evil. Armed with the location of the Shadow's secluded compound, they will take the fight to them, making the hunters the hunted.
Through abductions and rescues, harrowing sea battles, and attacks by hired assassins, "the four" will face their greatest challenge yet, determined to end the Shadow Knight's reign of terror and return peace to the Eastern Kingdom.
