About this ebook
Johnathon Rourke's past rises like a specter, driving him to lead a band of war-scarred comrades on a perilous mission. His reckless gambles have done more than drain his coffers—they have ensnared his family's fate in the clutches of debt. Now, compelled to reclaim a long-lost treasure as his only hope for salvation, he ventures into a land shrouded by foreboding whispers, where the path to redemption is woven with treachery and the unknown.
Johnathon's fellowship treads a line between ally and adversary: a cunning human strategist, whose loyalties are as enigmatic as his methods, serves as a henchman to the very brigand boss holding Rourke's debt, Deacon Miller. Alongside him stand a dwarf of steadfast valor, an elven huntress with arrows as sharp as her resolve, and the Namite twins, jackal-headed warriors whose dedication is as enduring as the ancient dunes they hail from. Together, this uneasy coalition must traverse a world where fractured allegiances are the thin veil standing between them and the abyssal legends and hidden foes that await.
In Arghost's enigmatic realm, where ancient ruins murmur secrets and creatures of old stalk unseen, a timeless conflict simmers. Will Johnathon's motley alliance withstand the lurking threats and retrieve the legendary treasure? Or will the haunting sea beast claim their lives, as it has so many before? The journey promises mythic treasure—but it's the tale of camaraderie, courage, and the unspoken whispers of Arghost that will captivate the reader.
Fans of fast-paced high fantasy such as The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames, and Malice by John Gwynne, will enjoy the complex character development, high stakes, and intricate world-building of Fate's Wager.
