With age comes wisdom. For a seasoned adventurer, it also comes with back pain.
Taking quests, exploring ruins, and camping under the stars. For Dobbin Thornhill, there's no better life than that of an adventurer. Especially with a reputation like his.
His current task? Acquiring the elusive dragonfire mushroom for one of Eastborne's secret societies.
To complete the quest, he'll venture into Hells' Crag, a dragon-ruined city still haunted by spirits half a millennia after the attack. Dangerous? Yes, but the pay is life-changing, even for him.
While Dobbin's past has led him to a life of solo adventures, some jobs can't be done alone. Joining forces goes against his every instinct, but in a land of shadows, a cast of unlikely companions could be exactly what he needs to confront his own ghosts.
If he can find the courage to let someone else in.
Welcome to the enchanting world of Tales of Aedrea, where small-scale stories, low-stakes adventure, and cozy fantasy come to life within an epic, high-fantasy realm.
