The Black River Chronicles: Level One

You know these characters—the ranger, the fighter, the wizard, and the rogue. But how did they become those heroes?

Welcome to Black River Academy of Swordcraft and Spellcraft, where young adventurers come to learn their craft, face new dangers, and hopefully level up. But for Durren Flintrand, leveling up might be more of a challenge than he imagined…

Just three months into his studies, Durren is stunned to learn he’ll be assigned to a party. It’s his only shot at advancing beyond level one, but there’s a catch: his team is, well, less than ideal.

• Areinelimus, the wizard, fears her own magic.
• Tia, the rogue, can barely stand anyone, let alone a team.
• Hule, the warrior, is… let’s just say he’s not the sharpest sword in the armory.

When your most competent party member is a floating, disembodied eyeball, you know teamwork won’t come easy! But to survive Black River Academy, they’ll have to learn to tolerate each other—fast.

Together, Durren and his ragtag party will face a world filled with angry rat armies, murderous sorcerers, and even a homicidal unicorn or two. But even if they manage to work together, their toughest challenge is yet to come. Ancient forces are stirring, and the academy’s newest adventurers are about to face a darkness no level one student should ever have to confront…
