Destiny Forged in Fire (Tales of Elaria: Book 1)

A village on the brink. A dark force rising. A leader forged in battle.

Sorin never sought to be a hero. Captured by goblins and forced into servitude, he escaped only to find himself leading a desperate fight for survival. When his home, the fledgling village of Embershore, becomes the target of a monstrous warband, he must rise to the challenge—or watch everything he has built burn.

With allies at his side—a steadfast warrior, a fierce dwarf, and a cunning sprite healer—Sorin travels to the royal capital of Chay to seek aid. But in the halls of power, words are as dangerous as swords, and the shadows conceal more than just political intrigue. A dark sorcerer lurks at the edges of the conflict, manipulating events from afar, his sinister magic threatening to engulf the land.

As war looms and an ancient enemy stirs, Sorin must rally his people, forge alliances, and embrace a destiny he never wanted. Because in the world of Elaria, survival isn’t given—it’s forged in fire.

A gripping fantasy adventure of war, magic, and destiny, perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, John Gwynne, and Dungeons & Dragons-inspired epics.
