At 182 years old, Hilda Rockfall thought her adventuring days were long behind her. For over seventy years, she roamed the realm as a ranger with the adventuring party Stone & Splendor—taking quests, slaying beasts, and collecting monster teeth like trophies from the boundless sea to the edge of the wilds. But for the past eight decades, she's traded her sword for slippers, living the quiet life of a proud grandmother nestled in the mountains, telling tales no one quite believes and baking a mean honey crumble. That peace is shattered when an old friend—and former party member—passes on and leaves Hilda one final quest: scatter his ashes at a secret location marked on a map they looted back in their glory days.

A vintage rivalry, corked emotions, and a harvest full of surprises. For most halflings, the annual harvest festival is a time to revel in life's simple pleasures—hearty feasts, flowing wine, and warm hospitality. But for Marigold Bramblefoot, owner of the Dew Drop Inn and Vineyard, it’s the busiest—and most stressful—time of the year.

Her rival, Darkroot Cellars, has dominated the competition for a decade thanks to the druidic magic behind their wines. With her hands full and her heart set on success, Marigold must balance the chaos of the festival, a budding romance, and unraveling the vineyard's hidden mysteries, all...

With age comes wisdom. For an experienced 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 an adventurer’s, especially with a reputation like his. His latest task? Retrieving the rare and mystical dragonfire mushroom for one of Eastborne’s secret societies. To find it, Dobbin must venture deep into Hells’ Crag, a dragon-ruined city still haunted by restless spirits centuries after the attack. The dangers are great, but the reward is tempting enough to shoulder the risk—one more time. While Dobbin’s past has led to a life of solo adventures, some jobs can’t be done alone. For him, letting others in isn’t just about survival—it’s about facing the ghosts of his past and finding strength in the unlikeliest of allies. In a land of shadows, trust might be his most pivotal gamble of all. About the...

When life gives you lemons, squeeze them into a stiff drink and stir. After twenty years defending the frozen north against some of the most dangerous threats in the nine kingdoms, Rhoren “Bloodbane” has finally earned his retirement.
