Warmaster 1
2024
For five years, Aderyn has waited to get the Call—the event when the system controlling her world grants her a class and appropriate skills to become an adventurer. When the system makes her a Warmaster, Aderyn eagerly sets out on her first journey. The problem? Her class is useless. No one believes a Warmaster is anything but a joke. They aren’t strong fighters, they have no magic, and they don’t have powerful skills. But Aderyn hasn’t waited all these years to give up now. With the help of a young man from another world, she’s going to prove this Warmaster can do anything. Read now or listen to the audiobook to join the adventure!

2024
Can the team survive an eccentric dungeon that might be alive?
The knowledge gained in the Repository directs Aderyn, Owen, and their team to the distant, lawless city of Obsidian, in search of the next clues to the Fated One quest. Obsidian is dangerous for low-level adventurers, and the overland journey through monster-infested wasteland takes months. When they learn of a dungeon called Gamboling Coil that can transport adventurers instantly anywhere in the world, they leap at the chance. But nothing in the dungeon is as it seems, and it will take all the team’s skills to make it out alive. However, Gamboling Coil is only the first step. Obsidian’s black walls harbor criminals, outcasts, and warring factions. An entanglement in city politics, and an encounter with another Warmaster, may prove more deadly than the worst monster the team has ever faced.

In short, it’s the most exciting quest Aderyn’s had yet. Accompanied by an old, dear friend, and joined by four unexpected strangers, Aderyn and her friends travel farther north than humans have in centuries. As the truth about their quest unfolds, and their assumptions about the Northlands unravel, they discover that nothing they have ever faced will threaten their team like the sacrifice demanded of them by Stormwatch Citadel.
