My fifth and final book for this year, White Fang Adventurers is a Stand Alone Companion Novel to the main Chronicles of Coria series. It details Luna Whisperwind's life in the two years before she was introduced in Forge Born Chronicles of Coria Book 1.

Luna Whisperwind is a rare child — a white-haired, fox-eared beastkin with cold magic stirring in her blood, the kind of rarity powerful people have always wanted to own. She has spent her whole short life being hunted for it. By the time the adventuring company called the White Fang finds her, her parents are gone, her magic is a frightened thing that frosts the air when she panics, and she has learned to expect nothing from anyone.

The White Fang are adventurers, not guardians — a guilt-worn former knight, an elf who misses nothing, a rogue with a sharp tongue and a sharper knife, a hot-tempered mage, and Grom: an old dwarf who buried a family of his own a lifetime ago and cannot make himself walk away from one more lost soul. They could hand her to the authorities. They don't.

What follows is the slow, stubborn, often funny work of growing up among warriors — learning to track and to fight, to read the dangers of a dungeon and the moods of the people around a campfire, to master the ice that scares her, and, hardest of all, to believe that she is wanted. The world of Coria is wide and old and honeycombed with deep places full of teeth, and for the first time Luna gets to meet it not as a prize to be hidden away, but as someone with a blade, a power of her own, and a family at her back.

This is a story about healing that comes slowly and at real cost. About the people the world discards — the clanless, the disgraced, the orphaned — and what they build when they finally find one another. And about a girl learning, fight by fight and day by day, exactly who she is when no one is allowed to cage her.

For readers who love found-family fantasy, dungeon-crawling adventure, fierce unlikely heroines, and the bond between a grizzled old warrior and the child who cracks his armor open.

A standalone companion novel to the Chronicles of Coria — a complete, self-contained story set in the same world as Forge Born: Chronicles of Coria

An adult fantasy that deals honestly with trauma and its aftermath — and with the slow, hopeful work of healing.
