You know these characters: The ranger, the fighter, the wizard, the rogue. But haven’t you ever wondered how they learned to be those things?

Three months into his studies at the Black River Academy of Swordcraft and Spellcraft, Durren Flintrand is shocked by the news that from now on he’ll be assigned to a party, and that his only hope of progressing beyond the lowly rank of level one is to succeed with his new companions. However, Durren has a secret that may make that impossible, and his three partners have problems of their own. Wizard Areinelimus is terrified of her own magic. Rogue Tia has no patience at all with others. And warrior Hule is just an idiot. In fact, when a disembodied, floating eyeball is your most competent party member, you know you have serious problems.

To stand a chance of succeeding, they need to work together, and that means learning to tolerate each other, while surviving a world of angry rat people, murderous sorcerers and homicidal unicorns. But even if they can somehow find a way to get along, dark and ancient forces are stirring, ones no level one students should ever have to confront…

If you enjoy Dungeons and Dragons and/or sword and sorcery stories, you should be reading The Black River Chronicles… Great fun and a joyous celebration of the RPGs we all know and love. Pop Verse
★★★★ A keen mixture of the familiar and the innovative. With unicorns, dwarves, dangerous rebellions and dozens of other fantastical beasts and moments, this book is a thrilling ride that leaves readers with a number of important lessons. Readers should be excited to see where this series goes, and what those “higher levels” hold for this unique band of adventurers. Self-Publishing Review
…this book is a lot of fun. Surprisingly realistic fun. Enjoyable, immersive fun. “I want more” fun. And there’s a promise that this fun will be followed by more. At the same time, all on its own, this book tells a great tale that comes to a satisfying ending. Ed Greenwood – The Archmage
…superb pacing, competent writing, well-described action, fun situations, and appealing characters. The first in a series, the book remains a pleasant confection. Well-crafted fantasy fiction about a team of young trainees tackling dangerous missions.” Kirkus Reviews

Level One

You know these characters: The ranger, the fighter, the wizard, the rogue. But haven’t you ever wondered how they learned to be those things?

Three months into his studies at the Black River Academy of Swordcraft and Spellcraft, Durren Flintrand is shocked by the news that from now on he’ll be assigned to a party, and that his only hope of progressing beyond the lowly rank of level one is to succeed with his new companions.

The Ursvaal Exchange

Student ranger Durren Flintrand had thought he was settling in at the Black River Academy for Swordcraft and Spellcraft.

But when rebellious rogue Tia Locke uncovers a horrifying secret in the dungeons beneath the school, Durren quickly realises that the challenges he’s faced so far were scant preparation for what lies ahead.

Eye of the Observer

Prepare for a dungeon crawl like no other… Durren Flintrand finds his life thrown into fresh confusion when his party’s latest quest goes disastrously wrong.

Magic is malfunctioning in strange and terrible ways, and what’s worse, it might be their fault. Certainly that’s what their wizard Arein believes, and her doubts may be enough to accomplish what countless threats haven’t: to tear their group apart.

Graduate or Die

Graduate or Die, the last installment of The Black River Chronicles, brings the enchantment back to the Academy. This world is vast and full of wonderful magical things. And a dragon!

Durren had always thought that Luntharbor, the city of his birth, was huge. But Luntharbor had nothing on Haleorontieurux, heart of all the northern lands, which most everyone referred to as the capital since it took less pronouncing.
