The Inn at the Forest's Edge

 The Inn at the Forest’s Edge

The inn holds more secrets than Johann ever imagined.

Working as a stable boy at the mysterious Inn at the Forest’s Edge seems like an exciting opportunity for sixteen-year-old Johann. The pay is good, the work is honest, and Faeyn, the innkeeper’s niece, makes every day brighter. But the inn sits at the boundary of the Venerable Woods, a forest filled with ancient magic and terrible dangers that most travelers fear to enter.

When goblins attack in the dead of night, everything changes.

Johann awakens to find Faeyn kidnapped by the goblin warlock Krath, the innkeeper gravely wounded, and the mysterious bard barely clinging to life. In that moment of chaos, he discovers that nothing is as it seems. With the princess’s life hanging in the balance and enemies closing in, Johann faces an impossible choice: flee to safety or venture into the deadly forest with only a dagger and untested courage.

Sometimes the greatest heroes come from the humblest places.

Armed with little more than determination and a unicorn’s guidance, Johann plunges into a world of vargin wolves, goblin armies, and dark sorcery. Every step deeper into the forest tests not just his survival skills, but his character. Can a simple farm boy stand against a warlock king and his legions? In a forest where magic and danger lurk behind every tree, Johann will discover that true nobility isn’t born from bloodlines, but forged through sacrifice, loyalty, and the courage to do what’s right when everything is at stake.
