"Every time you decide to play the hero, somebody has to suffer for it" Jaeger hadn't hesitated to join Commander Darroch's mission when his small force passed through West-Yield. His decision however, was motivated by a multitude of reasons; Some were noble, while others simply stemmed from a desire to escape the direction his life was taking. He never knew the far-reaching implications that his decision would have, or that it would one day land him at the legendary Clouds College of Magic. The Hero of Aridhold is the first book into a fantasy epic that explores the desperate situation of mankind and the other estranged civilised races of Thylacine. Their survival exists among hostile territories dominated by scaleskins, roachkin and now demons too. To make matters worse, schemes and greed fester in Conorbatia - the largest and most sheltered city on The Plateau - where the need for unity is greatest.
