Ranger's Calling: The Towers of Renweard
Book 2 of the Ranger’s Calling Series
A Christian Ranger Fantasy series
LAUNCHES JULY 15th
If you love Ranger’s Apprentice, The Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, and The Chronicles of Narnia, you’ll be captivated by this epic tale of courage, sacrifice, and faith in the darkest hour.
The wall was supposed to hold forever.
After fighting the fierce eshkin raiders in Wynchell, Ranger Galieb Half-elfin and his new griffin familiar, Rafnir, answer a call to the mountain fortress on the edge of the wilderness. For centuries, the Black Towers of Swartmael have guarded the kingdom of Lageheim against all threats from the north. But when Galieb scouts an army that stretches beyond counting, he realizes no wall can stand against what’s coming. Eshkin warriors. Lumbering giants. Blue wizards wielding ancient magic. Terror birds and other fell beasts. And leading them all, a power that even the mighty dragon Shethar once knew and feared.
But the greatest enemy was already inside.
As Galieb and the knight Sir Erik Blackmane rally the defenders, they discover that the mysterious forsaken god is ready to reveal himself in a new terrifying form, ready to claim the land he once ruled. His followers have infiltrated every level of Lageheim’s society, even corrupting sworn knights into treason. When King Reinhart III makes his final stand atop the dragon Shethar, the cost of heroism will be measured in the fall of the mighty.

WOW!! An incredible and captivating second book in the Ranger’s Calling series by Raymond Keith hooked me from the start and I couldn’t stop reading. There is so much action it kept me turning the pages to see what happens next. Along with action there is some adventure, betrayal, twists and turns and magic. The battles scenes are so detailed I felt as if I was in the thick of it! The characters are all well written, with the 2 MC’S, Galieb Half-Elfin and Erik Blackmane are the stars of the story. Raymond’s world is so vivid and descriptive and weaves beautifully and magically throughout the book, it really gets your imagination rolling! I absolutely love this book and can’t wait for book 3!

The Inn at the Forest's Edge
The inn holds more secrets than Johann ever imagined.
Working as a stable boy at the mysterious Inn at the Forest’s Edge seems like an exciting opportunity for sixteen-year-old Johann. The pay is good, the work is honest, and Faeyn, the innkeeper’s niece, makes every day brighter. But the inn sits at the boundary of the Venerable Woods, a forest filled with ancient magic and terrible dangers that most travelers fear to enter.
When goblins attack in the dead of night, everything changes.
Johann awakens to find Faeyn kidnapped by the goblin warlock Krath, the innkeeper gravely wounded, and the mysterious bard barely clinging to life. In that moment of chaos, he discovers that nothing is as it seems. With the princess’s life hanging in the balance and enemies closing in, Johann faces an impossible choice: flee to safety or venture into the deadly forest with only a dagger and untested courage.
Sometimes the greatest heroes come from the humblest places.
Armed with little more than determination and a unicorn’s guidance, Johann plunges into a world of vargin wolves, goblin armies, and dark sorcery. Every step deeper into the forest tests not just his survival skills, but his character. Can a simple farm boy stand against a warlock king and his legions? In a forest where magic and danger lurk behind every tree, Johann will discover that true nobility isn’t born from bloodlines, but forged through sacrifice, loyalty, and the courage to do what’s right when everything is at stake.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this fairytale and would have read it all in one sitting if I’d not had other responsibilities at the time. In this novelette, Raymond Keith takes readers to a small corner of a fantasy world where, not only are fairytale creatures alive and well, but so are chivalry, courage, and noble deeds. This story is ideal for readers who love fairytales and noblebright fantasy and/or the work of Chuck Black and Wayne Thomas Batson.”

The Rescue of Edhelwen
Bandits abuse and enslave. Rangers rescue. Elfin endure.
Victims of a roadside assault interrupt Devarim’s travels. Finding some dead, he soon realizes that the band of forest ruffians may be holding some victims captive. Severely outnumbered, the ranger will need all his skills to overcome the bandits and their ruthless leader.
Edhelwen left her elfin realm to enter the world of humans for the first time only to be taken captivity by cutthroats intent on selling her as a slave. As she wrestles with the idea of a hopeless future, she must not only think of herself. They have also taken a young human girl.
“The Rescue of Edhelwen” is an introduction to the world of Veardalan—an epic adventure of knights and rogues, rangers and goblins, elfin and dwarfin, magic and swords with Christian themes.
“A fast-paced short story following a man who takes upon himself the rescue of two strangers. I appreciated that we got to see a story with clear good and clear evil. Characters show selflessness, even when it costs them dearly.”
