Beginnings. Ironshield's Shadow, #1

Seven unlikely souls. One locked chest. A journey that will change the fate of the world. When a wizard, a disgraced knight, a cunning thief, a charming smuggler, a secretive spy, a haunted outcast, and a beast of unknown origin are hired to deliver a mysterious chest to a reclusive sorcerer, none of them expect the job to be anything more than dangerous. But as rival forces close in-a genocidal king driven by conquest and a ruthless crime syndicate hungry for power-the companions uncover a hidden truth: their mission is no coincidence.
The chest holds more than secrets. It holds the will of the Deities. As loyalties are tested and destinies entwined, the group must face not only the enemies who hunt them, but the shadows within themselves. For in the world of Ironshield's Shadow, even the gods need heroes. The beginning of an epic journey awaits.
