BOOK TWO OF THE FAR ROAD CAMPAIGN · FEBRUARY 9, 2027

Hope Relents to Fear

February 9, 2027

Knowing the story was supposed to be Joshua's advantage. The farther he travels, the less reliable it becomes.

Amazon preorders are now available. Additional retailer links will be added when available.

The world is moving beyond the notes.

Joshua Pilbert survived the part of his campaign he knew best. That should make what comes next easier.

Instead, threats are arriving early, places he barely sketched have histories of their own, and the world keeps moving beyond what he wrote. With Seria, Pimwick, Marda, and Urzha beside him, Joshua sets out to confront the last major danger he remembers before it becomes impossible to contain.

His campaign knowledge may still offer a way forward. But he is discovering how much he never understood about the people living inside his story, and how costly it can be to mistake a plan for a guarantee.

Before Book Two
