Chris Carter planned a quiet month in the dungeon. Duke Ashworth planned to have his daughter delivered to a baron she'd never met.
Kylese von Ashworth can hang hundreds of spell-orbs overhead and keep thirty bandits on their feet until they beg to surrender. She has wanted to be an adventurer her whole life. By the time the carriage reaches the capital, the baron is out a bride and Carter's clan has a new crest.
The road north doesn't get quieter. A manticore is eating pirates under an island in Lake Logro. Something is chewing through the roots of the World Tree, and the High Elf princess sent to guide Carter faints in front of him, which by her people's rules ends her marriage prospects. Then a dragon walks onto the dwarf road. After that comes the thing in the mine that makes the dragon look like a house cat.
Every kill feeds Reaper's Claim, and the skills Carter steals go down the line to the women fighting beside him.
The catch is on page two of the contract. If he dies, everyone wearing his crest dies the same hour.
Twelve lives on one heartbeat, and a kingdom across the river taking notes.
Genre: GameLit
