Ridgekindler Stories

In Thear, a world divided by walls and rules, Haven and Nevah stand on opposite sides of order and chaos. When Ridge Kindler, a disillusioned Havenian, escapes his rigid life in search of freedom and purpose, he carries with him two mysterious tools: the Riskometer, which measures danger, and the Aptem, a cryptic pocket watch tied to destiny. Teamed with an unlikely trio, Ridge is thrust into nightly missions to eliminate "risks"-but as the line between threat and truth blurs, his defiance challenges everything Thear believes. As Havenian governors and Nevanese tribes rise against him, Ridge must decide: Will he become the Innovative Havenian Hero he dreams of-or unleash a force that could tear Thear apart?
