Fate's Wager

We all have darkness in our pasts - now imagine yours has returned with swords drawn, forcing you to lead a fellowship of outcasts and confront unearthly horrors just to spare those you love from the brink of oblivion.

When ex-soldier John's gambling debts embroil his family in a treacherous quest, he assembles a fellowship from his dark past-a cunning human, stalwart dwarf, fierce elven huntress, and twin Namites, jackal-headed warriors from a distant desert land. Bound by brotherhood forged through the calamities of war, they dare to pursue fabled treasure stolen by a legendary sea beast.

Braving untold dangers on land and sea, John's eclectic band of battle-hardened rogues must work as one to outwit ruthless brigands and monstrous jungle horrors in their drive to settle John's score. But as deception and betrayal threaten to tear the team apart, only their unwavering camaraderie can conquer the challenges ahead.

In this epic tale brimming with magic, mythic monsters, rip-roaring action, and sprawling world-building, one man's debt holds dire implications, forcing him to lead his team of damaged heroes on a breakneck chase that will either end a lifelong curse... or destroy everything he holds dear.

Will John's specters of war demand more from him than he can give?
