Evermore: The Fallen Kingdom

You want me to join the heroes' party? This kingdom is finished! Darmek is a footman not by choice, but by court order. Ousted from the marquisate, he settles into a quiet life in the royal household of Evermore, until a declaration of war forces him back to the front lines alongside the strongest heroes in the kingdom. To many men, this would be the adventure of a lifetime. For him, it is a death sentence. Each heroine hides a troubling secret that may doom the mission before it has even begun. An infamous assassin with zero successful kills. A legendary elf archmage with twenty reasons for treason. And a peerless adventurer with a bad case of survivor's guilt.  Can he lead this dysfunctional party to a happily ever after, or will this be their final chapter?  Surrounded by bandits, cults, and conspiracies, an unlikely seed of redemption blooms, one quest at a time. New chapters weekly on Saturdays. Probably. Full title: This Kingdom is Finished!
