Ranger’s Calling:
The Fires of Wynchell
By Raymond Keith
For fans of Rangers Apprentice and epic fantasy adventure comes the first book in an unforgettable series.
Galieb N’ethilion never expected his first mission as a sworn ranger to determine the fate of a kingdom.
Growing up at the hidden Qoholet Abbey, the young half-elfin trained in archery, tracking, swordplay, and wilderness survival. But when brutal eshkin raiders pour out of the Towering Peaks in numbers never seen before, theoretical knowledge meets harsh reality. Villages burn across the borderlands of Wynchell. Farmers die defending their homes. And something far more sinister lurks among the dead sheep and smoldering farms.
Hired to scout the raids and report back, Galieb quickly finds himself fighting for his life. He faces:
Fierce eshkin warriors wielding crude weapons and serving dark gods
A shapeshifting beast hunting among the villagers
Treacherous assassins waiting for their prey
Battles against impossible odds alongside knights, dwarfin, and elfin allies
Ancient prophecies that warn of darker days ahead
As arrows fly and swords clash in the burning canyons, Galieb discovers that being a ranger means more than skill with a bow. It means standing between innocence and evil. It means making impossible choices. It means discovering a greater purpose beyond himself.
With a reforged sword at his hip and courage born of desperation, the untested ranger must rise to meet the fiery challenges that will either forge him into a legend or destroy him completely.

The Inn at the Forest’s Edge
A quiet stable boy. A charming maiden. A forbidding forest.
But each is more than it seems.
Johann jumped at the offer to work at a local inn for the summer and to get away from the drudgery of the farm. His enthusiasm only increased when he met the tavern owner’s enchanting niece, Faeyn. It wasn’t long before Johann realized that there was something different about the innkeeper and his sister, not to mention the knife-wielding bard and the heavily scarred steed in the stables. Strangest of all was the ominous VenKeth, a vast labyrinthian forest upon whose shadowy edge the property perched. When the inn is attacked and Faeyn kidnapped, the untested youth must find the courage to venture into the frightful woods with only the mysterious creature from the stables to aid him. Will Johann be able to rescue Faeyn and survive the perils of the VenKeth?
