Free Audiobook : Thesaurize, By Dakota Krout

Joe the Ritualist and the residents of Novusheim have weathered their first significant conflict, albeit at a heavy cost, leaving much of their town in ruins. Fortunately, the central part of Novusheim held strong, and the loss of life was minimal. Now, with a clearer vision of future challenges, they embark on a mission to not only rebuild but to enhance their fortifications, making them stronger and more lethal than before.

In the midst of planning and reconstruction, Joe receives an urgent summons that propels him into the icy expanse of Jotunheim. With Novusheim's immediate safety relatively assured, there's little to keep him there, yet his departure is met with reluctance from everyone. Joe has previously suffered from misplaced trust, adding an extra layer of caution to his journey. To complicate matters, Grandmaster Havoc entrusts him with a daunting task: the elimination of any Elven settlements he encounters.

For Joe and his town, it's a matter of preemptive action – better to neutralize potential threats early than to risk betrayal later.
