A LitRPG Duology

Edward Monteger has grown up in a family of scribes, learning about the world through books in his family's shop.

The destruction of Edward's hometown forces him and his family to flee and confront the difficulty of rebuilding their lives. Edward is not the same boy who left home and must balance hard-fought independence with his role as brother and son. Despite optimism for the future, a dark threat looms over the family's hope of rebuilding. Edward's skills continue to progress, but will it be enough to protect the family's fragile beginnings?
