The Adventurers Guild by Zack Loren and Nick Eliopulos


In one of the last cities standing after the world fell to monsters, best friends Zed Kagari and Brock Dunderfel have high hopes for the future. Zed desperately wishes to join the ranks of the Mages Guild, where his status as Freestone's only half elf might finally be an asset. Brock the roguishly handsome son of merchants, is confident he'll be welcomed into the ranks of the Merchants Guild.


But just as it seems the boys dreams have come true, their lives take a startling turn... and they find themselves members of the perilous Adventurers Guild.


Led by the fearsome Alabasel Frond, the guild acts as the last line of defense against the Dangers-hungry unnatural beasts from other worldly planes. And when the boys uncover a conspiracy that threatens all of Freestone, Zed Brock and their new allies-Liza, a fierce noble, and Jett, a brave dwarf-must prove their worth once and for all.
