The Calambrian Adventures

In the game world of Calambria, young adventurer Sebastian journeys beside his father through snowstorms, monsters, and mounting unease. But when they stray into the forbidden Brood Forest, the careless release of an arrow awakens something ancient and vengeful—something that will change everything. In the real world, sixteen-year-old Colin is drowning in grief. After losing his dad, school is a nightmare and life feels unmoored. The only place he feels connected to anything is around the gaming table—where he plays Sebastian.

A rogue with no master. A girl with no plan. And a game that’s becoming harder to leave behind. In the fantasy realm of Calambria, Ayla has always survived alone. A thief, a shadow in the crowd. But when she joins Sebastian and Filip in the city of Wetterhorn, she’s drawn into something much bigger than pickpockets and petty cons. The city is hiding secrets, and in the dark corners of Calambria, something — or someone — is pulling strings. Whispers speak of Josephine, a forgotten god with unfinished business. Her influence is growing. And Ayla might already be caught in her web.
