Warmaster

For five years, Aderyn has waited to get the Call-the event when the system controlling her world grants her a class and appropriate skills to become an adventurer. When the system makes her a Warmaster, Aderyn eagerly sets out on her first journey. The problem? Her class is useless. No one believes a Warmaster is anything but a joke. They aren't strong fighters, they have no magic, and they don't have powerful skills. But Aderyn hasn't waited all these years to give up now. With the help of a young man from another world, she's going to prove this Warmaster can do anything.

What secrets lie hidden in a distant stronghold of knowledge? After accepting the responsibility of the Fated One quest, Aderyn, Owen, and their friends must travel north to the Repository, home to strange sources of knowledge. There, they will discover the next step on their adventure. It should be a straightforward journey, with no complications. But antagonistic traveling companions, an old man who knows more about Aderyn than he should, and countless vicious monsters stand in their way. When calamity strikes, the team's only hope is to take on their most dangerous challenge yet-the dungeon known as Winter's Peril.

The knowledge gained in the Repository directs Aderyn, Owen, and their team to the distant, lawless city of Obsidian, in search of the next clues to the Fated One quest. Obsidian is dangerous for low-level adventurers, and the overland journey through monster-infested wasteland takes months. When they learn of a dungeon called Gamboling Coil that can transport adventurers instantly anywhere in the world, they leap at the chance. But nothing in the dungeon is as it seems, and it will take all the team's skills to make it out alive. However, Gamboling Coil is only the first step. Obsidian's black walls harbor criminals, outcasts, and warring factions. An entanglement in city politics, and an encounter with another Warmaster, may prove more deadly than the worst monster the team has ever faced.

Aderyn and her friends can tackle any challenge they'll encounter on their eight-week trek across the continent. They're ready for monsters, bandits, unexpected quests, and lost dungeons. But nothing could prepare them for the greatest challenge of all: escorting a whiny, self-absorbed fledgling adventurer through the wilderness to Guerdon Deep. The Pathseer Jessemia's hostility and antagonism turn everyone against her-everyone but Aderyn, who sees Jessemia's potential to be a true adventurer. But when Jessemia's selfish stupidity endangers the team, will even Aderyn's patience reach an end?

Can Aderyn stop a hidden danger before it destroys those she loves? The quest to discover the truth about the legendary Fated One has taken Aderyn and her friends across a continent and back. They've faced monsters, evil humans, and dungeons that nearly destroyed them. Now, they're ready for something different. A chance meeting with Aderyn's brother brings them to the city of Finion's Gate to compete in the Glory Games, where Owen fights a series of duels and the others compete in tiny dungeons, all for the applause of the crowd. But darker forces at work in the city threaten not only the Games, but the lives of everyone involved. To stop the oncoming catastrophe, Aderyn and Owen and the others face their greatest challenge yet-and discover dangers worse than death.

Deep beneath the Lonely Tor lies the Enchanterium, an ancient magical facility where Aderyn and her companions face challenges that test more than their abilities... When their quest leads them to this mysterious complex, they find themselves racing against timeand they're not alone. Another team of adventurers, driven by glory and ambition, is determined to slay the dragon that terrorizes nearby settlements. But as Aderyn's team delves deeper into the Enchanterium's secrets, they begin to question everything they thought they knew about their mission. Navigating treacherous laboratories filled with strange devices and deadly traps, Aderyn must rely on the trust she's built with her companions to uncover the truth before their rivals succeed. With time running out and deadly creatures emerging from the shadows, the strength of their bonds may matter more than their skills in preventing a terrible catastrophe. Sometimes the most dangerous quest is stopping someone else's heroic mission.

Aderyns courage and skills are put to the test when she and her friends travel to the Southlands on a quest to repel an invasion of vicious orcsa quest that requires Aderyn to find and command an army. But in a land where politics can be deadlier than warfare, military strategy soon becomes the least of her concerns. When threats emerge from unexpected quarters, the team must brave the legendary Ivory Palace, a dungeon whose reputation for horror is matched only by its beauty. With time running out for both her team and the kingdom shes sworn to protect, Aderyn discovers the dangers of the surface world are nothing compared to what lurks within the ocean's depths.

The war with the orcs has reached its peak, and Aderyn must use every Warmaster skill she has to defeat their violent, relentless onslaught. But when a former enemy appears with new information about the Fated One quest, Aderyn's loyalties are tested: keep her promise to lead the human armies, or travel deep into the Blighted Range to find and destroy the orcs' stronghold of Charnel Keep? When events take the choice out of Aderyn's hands, she and her team must tackle the greatest challenge they've faced so far. Accompanied by new companions she can't trust, the increasingly personal guidance of the system that governs her world may be all that protects her from betrayal and death.

In returning to the north, Aderyn leaves behind the horrors and personal nightmares she suffered in the Southlands. But going north has its own challenges, because the new Fated One's Destiny quest says only that they must bring peace to the Northlands. With little information about this mysterious, uninhabited place, Aderyn's imagination conjures up dread monsters, terrible environmental hazards, and dungeons no one has ever seen. In short, it's the most exciting quest Aderyn's had yet. Accompanied by an old, dear friend, and joined by four unexpected strangers, Aderyn and her friends travel farther north than humans have in centuries. As the truth about their quest unfolds, and their assumptions about the Northlands unravel, they discover that nothing they have ever faced will threaten their team like the sacrifice demanded of them by Stormwatch Citadel.

Aderyn and her companions have followed the Fated One's Destiny quest across vast and dangerous lands. Now only two cryptic words remain to guide them: Enter Winterforge. They must cross a frozen, hostile wilderness to reach a mythic dungeon guarded by creatures born of legend and nightmare. In this high-risk zone, every step could be their last-especially with a ruthless rival team pursuing them, led by a Fated One who will kill without hesitation. As their ultimate trial pushes the team to its limits, testing every ounce of skill, courage, and unbreakable bond, Aderyn and Owen draw closer to the shattering truth behind the Fated One's Destiny quest-a secret powerful enough to change the world. But when the system's guidance vanishes, Aderyn is forced to rely on the skills she has no ranks in… if she can discover what they are before time runs out.
