Peter Bridger has always dreamed of becoming an Adventurer; one of the legendary few who travel Azora, battling monsters, unearthing lost relics, and protecting the realm from threats both ancient and new. But as an orphan with no known history and nothing to his name, he doubts anyone will ever see more than the quiet boy in the corner with a wooden sword and a restless heart.
When the annual Adventurer's Calling arrives in his small village, Peter joins the selection like everyone else, hoping, but not expecting. What he never imagined was being chosen...by one of the realm's most renowned Adventurers.
Thrown into a world of seasoned warriors, gifted mages, and impossible expectations, Peter finds himself tasked with aiding in the recovery of a mysterious and powerful artifact: the Crown of Echoes, a relic said to be tied to the soul of Azora itself. But this mission is more than it seems. As ancient powers stir and shadows begin to move, the crown's echoes begin to whisper...to him.
Peter's first journey will test far more than his strength. It will challenge his beliefs, confront his deepest doubts, and force him to confront demons he never knew he had.
