Vaeloria: The Adventures of Brannoc Emberbrew

Brannoc Emberbrew grows up far from his dwarf father’s mountain home, raised in a human town with his gentle brother Tovin and their fierce, loving parents. When bullies corner Tovin behind the tannery and smash his carving, Brannoc charges in without hesitation, fighting three boys twice his size to protect him. The brothers limp home muddy and bruised, sparking a whirlwind of worry, scolding, and reluctant pride from their parents. That night, as the boys whisper and laugh in their loft, one truth settles in Brannoc’s heart: if the world wants to hurt his brother, it’ll have to go through him first
