The Calambrian Adventures

The Warlock at Ridge Valley Summary

A grieving teen. A cursed forest. A tabletop character hiding a deadly secret...

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.

But as Colin’s story and Sebastian’s fate intertwine, one question rises above all else: is this just a game... or something more?

The Warlock at Ridge Valley is the emotionally rich and genre-blending first novel in the Calambrian Adventures series. Perfect for fans of TTRPG lore, coming-of-age stories, and classic fantasy with a modern twist.
