The Ashen Child

An evil in the woods. A soldier far from home. A mercenary on the hunt.

Aspiring officer Randon Drustan is sent to Chesslegate, a remote town on the edge of Westerridge Forest, to secure a newly discovered vein of precious ore. What should be a straightforward assignment quickly turns deadly, and whispers of a ravenous evil stirs in the dark. As Randon and his enigmatic hired mercenary, Alfinn, uncover the town's secrets, they find that the dark forest around them may not be the sole source of danger.

A dark fantasy of monsters, moral conflict, and the hidden horrors in a small town.
