After years of war, the necromancer Zaroth Karn finally lies dead at my feet, and I am one of the most powerful mages left standing. Now it’s time for peace—and to keep a promise to a fallen friend. He left me his quiet farmstead in the elven town of Aerenvale. With most men lost to the war, the women there could use a hand…or more.

Greedy nobles are tightening their grip on peaceful Aerenvale—taxes, bureaucracy, and a garrison to ensure we obey. No way in the Nine Hells… There is one way to stop them: claim Aerenvale as my own. To do it, I must face an ancient trial—one that judges more than strength.

Cameron has a secret, he knows Kain isn’t dead. A secret he has kept because he would have to explain how he knew and it isn’t time for that yet. But the future is always in motion and an attack turns into a blessing when Cameron is thrown into captivity with a creature the hunters had long thought dead. Dust is a secret, locked up in a basement for over half a century while the cult who holds his chains searched for a way to harness his magic. Now they’ve found it, in the form of the most beautiful man Dust has ever seen, a gift dragons dream of from the moment they hatch, Dust’s rider.

For the first time in years, my staff, Ashmaker, is gathering dust. But Aerenvale has secrets of its own. Ancient machinery churns beneath the mud, and hidden tunnels hint that our quiet village was once something far older. When those buried powers begin to wake, I must protect my newfound farmstead…and the women who make it home.
