Lorkdan — A.J. Cooper

When Lorkdan, a foreign mercenary, arrives at a lonely inn down a dark road, he hopes for nothing more than a bed to rest his head and a meal to fill his stomach. But things are not well in the county called Valle, nor the kingdom at large; and as the hours progress, he finds himself thrust into a journey that will change him, and the world he knows, forever. This novelette includes a map and an illustrated glossary entry.
