Book Details

First Age of America, when fantasy ruled!

In America's First Age, when a mysterious sword is stolen from Pablam Brownbee in a fire that nearly claims his life, revenge drives him to recover the heirloom. This quest sends him from his quiet mountain village of Vailand out into the incredible wonders of Tarra. Accompanied by a growing company of stalwart friends, Pablam's travels take him from underground terrors to the savage wilds of Grottenmoss, where the Steward of the Wood, Caer-peril, needs Pablam and his friends for a sacrifice to a dark, secret past. When their path leads to the dwarf caverns of Anaid, Pablam learns the secret of Moak's Chamber: that an ancient evil was awakened and loosed upon Tarra. Strength of friendship is tested through fire and marvelous discovery as Pablam realizes he must endure even more in his Quest for Darún. Visit us at www.websterwildernest.com

 

Book Excerpt

“Dwarves and sorcerers!” Pablam said, shaking his head. “First I’m shot at, then insulted. Hwato manners have surely changed since I left.” He marched forward, but stopped as the bow snapped up. “I am Pablam, son of Fargam, who was Grandmaster of the Vales until his death in 2910 at the hands of the foul Berajard and their wolves.” The archer stared hard at Pablam for a long moment, then spoke again, his voice softened. “Truly— the missing son of Fargam Brownbee? Fargam was a good one; I liked the old gaffer, for he always had a kind word for me. Well now, you’re a hwato, that’s for sure, but I didn’t recognize you in those ridiculous clothes.” He lowered the bow and cast an odd look at Pablam. “I’m sorry for the loss of your father, he was a kind soul.” He called up to the pile of stones: “He seems to be what he says.”
