The Arlin Trilogy
The world cast it aside. Now he has been tasked with bringing it back.
Benjamin Arlin was once a renowned beast fighter, until tragedy left him a broken man. Now, he serves as the favored mercenary of General Delaney—a ruthless leader holding the line against an impending war with the massive, scarred Great Beasts of the Southern Mountains.
After years of violence under the general’s command, Ben wants out. But he has a mission to complete.
His task: retrieve an ancient book known only as The Story and deliver it to the general. It should be simple—until the general’s new orders, and a mysterious woman from an ancient order called The Chosen, send Ben into an enchanted forest teeming with monsters, painful memories, and long-buried powers.
At the center of it all lies The Story—not a weapon, but something just as dangerous: a truth some would kill to keep buried.
What he sees is only half the story.
Benjamin Arlin and Solace—now bound by name and purpose—sail into uncharted waters, carrying with them the ancient book known as The Story and a mission born from the words of a forgotten prince: find the gate, and set the world free from the Creature.
Together with a loyal group of companions, Ben must carry The Story to the four corners of the earth. But the journey quickly turns treacherous. Valdra and his soldiers close in at every turn—while a monstrous dark soldier haunts Ben with visions that threaten his grip on reality.
Armed with the sword and shield gifted by Ruth—possessions Ben has yet to fully understand—he clings to what little certainty remains. But as the ocean rises against them and visions blur the line between what is seen and what is unseen, one truth becomes harder to ignore:
The greatest battle may not lie ahead—but within.
Its location has remained hidden for centuries. Now he must find it before the enemy does.
Benjamin Arlin’s life was forever changed by an ancient, out-of-print book known as The Story, a relic tied to a forgotten prophecy that set him on a mission to free his world from a mass illusion. Now, adrift at sea and reeling once again from the loss of those he held dear—his world shattered by a devastating attack from the first dragon seen in centuries—Ben faces a crossroads.
He must decide whether to complete the mission alone or surrender to the encroaching darkness and return home. But when his choice leads him straight into the clutches of his greatest enemy, Ben’s own doubts threaten to unravel everything.
If Ben gives in to darkness, he could expose a powerful secret both he and the Creature desperately seek—one that could tip the scales toward freedom or total ruin: the location of an artifact known as the Gate.
