Frith Chronicles

School life. Camping. And a mysterious graveyard beneath the sea.

Gray and Sorin Lexly started Astra Academy with a bang. During their first few weeks, a professor tried to kill them, and even opened a portal to the abyssal hells—where the dead dwell.

But that’s all behind them! The portal was destroyed. Time to focus on classes and studies. Or so Gray hopes.

During an Academy camping trip, Gray finds a fragment of the portal… and a few abyssal monsters that somehow crept their way into the world of the living. Determined to set things right, Gray informs Professor Helmith of what he found.

Unfortunately, there may be more fragments of the portal than just the one, which means more trouble lurks around every corner… including the possibility of a Death Lord arriving in the mortal world.

If power is not used, it dies.

Rimon, the new Ring Warlock of Rovik Prefecture, has been summoned by the emperor. Now,
he must cross the Tze Empire, where spirits and demons roam the countryside, to have an
audience with the emperor in the Ebon Capital.

Along the way, Rimon grows in power, stealing apex abilities from all sorts of creatures. He
even has his second ring, something no other Ring Warlock has ever had…

But when Rimon accidentally kills the emperor’s elite guards, he believes the emperor may not
forgive him. The punishment for any crime against the empire is death.

Determined to protect his people and his new prefecture, Rimon decides he will confront the
emperor directly. But what kind of magic does the man wield? It seems it might not be from the
rings as all… It might be something even more dangerous and powerful.

Rimon will have to master new abilities in half the time in this new Progression Fantasy
Adventure by Shami Stovall, the Dragon-Award nominated author of Knightmare Arcanist!

A magic-fueled progression fantasy adventure from Dragon Award winning author Shami Stovall.

Power is not given. It’s taken.
In the Tze Empire, spirits and demons rule the wilds, but Ring Warlocks control civilization. For Rimon, the son of a courtesan and lowest in society, Ring Warlocks seem like gods.

Each has their own magic drawn from Titans, and they can do whatever they please, regardless of how it affects the prefectures they rule.

But when a chance encounter places one of the ancient and powerful rings in Rimon’s hands, everything changes. For there is a trick to the rings, and Rimon sees through the test given to him.

Suddenly, he is no longer a player at the fringes of power; he is a Ring Warlock and granted his own territory.

Determined to make sure his prefecture thrives, Rimon must contend with jealous rivals, demons seeking his ring for themselves, and forces he cannot yet name, all while mastering his new abilities. He will prove even the lowest can rise to challenge gods.

Rimon will have to grow twice as strong as his rival warlocks just to survive in this new Progression Fantasy Adventure by Shami Stovall, the Dragon-Award winning author of Knightmare Arcanist!

Hopes. Dreams. And literal nightmares out to kill a young boy.

Gray Lexly, son of a candlemaker, wants to escape his life of old-world technologies and study at the prestigious Astra Academy, a school for arcanists—those who can wield magic. But Gray has a major problem. Every night, as he sleeps, he’s visited by monsters. When they injure Gray in his dreams, he wakes with the same wounds in real life…

On the night Gray might finally die in his nightmares, he is saved by the kind and mysterious Professor Helmith, a powerful arcanist. She offers to protect Gray and invites him to attend Astra Academy.

Before that can happen, Gray must bond with a mystical creature to become an arcanist himself. Will he bond with a unicorn? A pegasus? A kitsune? Whatever he bonds with will determine his magical abilities, so he must choose wisely.

And when trouble finds Professor Helmith, Gray must become powerful enough to help her and fend off the terrible nightmares, before it’s too late…
