Lightforged

The world’s heroes have all but vanished. Valoryn Lightforge wrestles with the need to remain one of them. Hidden deep in the forest, the once-great elven warrior lives in exile, haunted by her failures and the faith she left behind. Beyond her cabin, the large realm of Eldrosia crumbles beneath tyranny, persecution, and the influence of The Hollow, an ancient evil that seems to have extinguished what little light remains. When the suffering of others draws her out of hiding, Valoryn finds unexpected companionship and a reason to fight again. But her immense strength offers no protection against the darkness urging her toward vengeance. To reclaim her calling, she must confront her past and decide what kind of hero she is willing to become. Lightforged is a dark fantasy saga of faith, love, and redemption, following a broken warrior’s struggle to choose compassion in a world that has forgotten its worth.
