Caught practicing necromancy — magic his people ban above all others — Valen was spared execution and given exile instead. That was not the magic they should have feared. Valen walks east with two letters from his legendary grandfather, a sealed destination, and a doctrine he has followed since childhood: never use your full power. Hold back. Stay invisible. What he finds on the road he did not plan for — a young orc on his first command, an ogre champion who has never lost a fight, a troll healer whose power nobody fully understands, and two goblins who are equal parts dangerous and catastrophic. None of them chose each other. All of them are being hunted. And somewhere east, at the end of a road none of them planned, is whatever he was sent to find. The doctrine says hold back. The road says otherwise. Release 5 days a weeke at 12-PM (Monday and Thursday i will not post) book 1 is near complition, book 2-4 already planned. +30 chapters ahead of posts on RR in Patreon.
