Series: The Secrets of Giantskarl Mountain Series, Book 4

My end goal’s been the same from day one, and that is to build my Merchant Empire.

Although I’ve now become the new Governor of Karlton—a position I had to accept to appease the King and keep Lord Reinley in power—unfortunately, that did nothing to advance my plans.

What I need is to unlock the Merchant Class, but the requirements are steep to say the least. If I do have the infrastructure needed, as well as the levels, I’m far from generating enough revenue to qualify. And that’s a bummer because I’m currently sitting on a good chunk of XP that I saved for after I’ve gained my new class.

So, I guess I’ll just have to do what I do best: look for new business opportunities. If my shop, Adventure Awaits, isn’t getting enough visitors, I’ll bring my wares to them!

Join me as I open up new trade routes with nearby cities and search to add a wand wing to my store. I keep expanding the influence of House Landon in a journey that will lead me to a strange floating city plunged into a civil war and back into the Karl where a mysterious well might spell the end for all of us down in New Valley. But you know me, where there’s danger, there’s opportunity, right?

Series: The Secrets of Giantskarl Mountain Series, Book 5
The fifth and final book in the Secrets of Giantskarl Mountain series. Find out how it all ends!

I’m at the top of the world. My list of accomplishments over the last few years has grown to include: proprietor of New Valley; governor of Karlton; head of House Landon; owner of the Giantskarl and Opal Dungeons; wartime outfitter for the Draconic Resistance Army…

And on top of that, I’m about to marry a dragoness. What else could I ask for?

But when you have everything, you stand to lose the most.

The King has summoned my presence. As it turns out, his coffers are running empty, and he has decided to invade the Juniper Islands to seize their mines of sapphire. And I, as his strongest asset, am to lead the assault.

That goes against everything I stand for. I can’t accept his order, though he leaves me no choice. It’s either that or he’ll lay siege to New Valley and destroy everything I care about!

What can I do? My dream was to build and run a Merchant Empire; it was to help people out, not become an oppressor. I’ll have to make choices, impossible choices. But in my years of traveling the world to perfect my craft, I have made some powerful allies who might support my case should I decide to defy the King and declare my independence. Also, there’s a new class advance waiting for me when I hit Level 10, one with combat-oriented skills that could give me a leg up in this brewing conflict…

One thing is certain: war is coming, and it will spell the end of Artemis’ story. Who will emerge victorious, and at what cost?
