Book Description
In this third installment of the Chronicles of the Medieval Underworld, a primordial force strikes the countryside, causing death and destruction in its wake. It's up to Thurmond, Sarah, Roscoe, and Torgul to figure out what's happening and stop it before a war breaks loose. After years of difficult missions and escaping death, Thurmond and his witch companion, Sarah, have finally been initiated into the Brotherhood of the Underworld Adventurers. Their dedication is tested quickly as the people of Gorgonholm have fallen under a dark and dangerous spell—wives poison husbands, old friends viciously attack each other and, most importantly, the wild neighboring Keltin clans plan to invade and slaughter them all. To save the city, Thurmond and his steadfast comrades are tasked with finding Malaichai, the only wizard powerful enough to defeat this eldritch force. Their perilous journey is filled with old foes and haunted traps. Worse yet, the wizard Malachai has gone mad with necromancy and has an obsession with melding humans and animals to create hybrid creatures. Their mission keeps getting stranger, but with a war quickly approaching, the crew will risk anything to save the people of Gorgonholm. From the subterranean vaults of a malicious necromancer to the crash and chaos of a medieval battlefield, The Battle of Gorgonholm will have you on the edge of your seat rooting for the unlikely heroes.

Book Description
He's not what you would call an experienced killer, but young Thurmond has a dream-to join the Brotherhood of Underground Adventurers, an elite group of warriors dedicated to slaying goblins, vampires, and all manner of unsavory supernatural creatures. And despite his initial rejection, Thurmond isn't ready to give up just yet. Ever determined, he sets out to gain skills and experience in the crime-hardened medieval trade city of Gorgonholm in hopes of leaving his life of poverty behind. When he comes across a map to a mysterious goblin treasure, it finally seems like his luck is about to change. Along with his new friends, Sarah, Roscoe, and Torgul, each in some way an outcast, Thurmond embarks on his first big adventure-and gains the attention of some powerful new enemies along the way.
