The Miller's Apprentice

The river is dying, and with it, the soul of the kingdom. Kedrick is just an apprentice, destined for a life of flour and toil in a quiet mill. But when the delicate balance of magic and industry in the realm of Mantle starts to fracture, Kedrick is thrust into a world far larger and more dangerous than his own. A princess is missing. A Usurper clings to the throne. And an ancient prophecy, long thought to be nothing more than a tavern tale, stirs in the shadows. Armed only with a mysterious token and a good heart, Kedrick must trade his millstone for a sword and quest into the unknown. Along the way, he will find an ally in a wizard of old and enemies in the dark corners of an industrial territory. >The apprenticeship is over. The quest has begun.
