Toby, The Monster Hunter

A burned village. Feudal war. A boy forged by stone. When the elves return and everything he loves burns, Toby’s only weapon is vengeance. Drawn to the fortress of Highmarsh, he endures a world of discipline, rivalry, and brotherhood — where the path from farm boy to knight is paved in blood and obedience. But as the southern wilds stir once more, Toby must ride beyond the kingdom’s edge, chasing truth, monsters, and the ghosts that made him. Gritty high fantasy • Slow-burn progression • Brotherhood and blades • The cost of knighthood • Coming of age and adventure
