Benjamin Ashwood

Benjamin Ashwood is a classic swords and sorcery fantasy novel that chronicles the tale of a young man who finds himself in the middle of an epic struggle. Life is simple in Ben’s small town until an attack brings the arrival of exciting strangers straight out of a story. Before Ben understands what is happening, he embarks on a dangerous journey and begins a saga of his own. Ben starts on the road with a Blademaster, a Rogue, a Lady, a Thief and a Mage. Demons, magic and assassins are just a few of the perils he will face while trying to protect his friends and get them to safety. But things aren’t always what they seem and safety is a fragile concept when the destructive behaviors of the powerful are exercised unchecked. In Ben's world - like our own - political, economic and military might create a system to keep the elite in power at the expense of the common man. As the series unfolds and Ben's knowledge and skill grows, he will have to decide if he wants to live within the system, flee from it or break it.
