Ashenfall Legion: Volume One — The Golden Bluff Campaign Three years ago, the kingdom of Neo-Vyra fell. Its cities burned. Its royal family vanished. Its lands were carved apart by neighboring powers eager to feast on the corpse of a nation. Hadwyn Ofor should have died with it. Instead, the last prince of Neo-Vyra serves in the Ashenfall Legion—a military force sent where proper armies refuse to go. To the bloodiest fronts. The deadliest campaigns. The battles deemed too costly for soldiers worth saving. Beside him stands Hroarr, his oldest friend and a warrior whose appetite for battle borders on madness. Together, they have survived impossible odds, outlived entire platoons, and earned a reputation that grows with every battlefield they leave behind. Now the Legion is marching south to Golden Bluff, a vast swamp once belonging to Neo-Vyra. Beneath its black waters lies enough gold to make kingdoms go to war. Every nation on the continent is moving to claim it. Ashenfall wants the gold. The merchant states want the gold. The rival kingdoms want the gold. And hidden beneath the struggle are secrets connected to the destruction of Neo-Vyra itself. As armies clash, monsters emerge from the marshes, ancient relics awaken, and political schemes unfold behind every banner. Ofor must decide whether he is merely surviving another campaign—or quietly building the foundation needed to reclaim everything that was stolen from him. For while the world believes Neo-Vyra is dead, its last prince has not forgotten. And neither has the sword at his side. A military fantasy featuring large-scale warfare, political intrigue, battlefield tactics, kingdom-building, powerful relics, loyal friendships, and a protagonist determined to reclaim his fallen homeland.
