 Chain of Bargains
The western cites of Uton are overwhelmed by a massive exodus from the
Great Valleys. Pressed from their homes by a growing distress, humans
flee across the central plains in hopes of finding refuge from the
suffocating fear that swells with each passing day. As the wizard,
Enin, tries to maintain control in Connel, he works with dwarves and
humans to quell the growing crisis. He sends Ryson Acumen along with
Holli Brances to investigate the strange occurrences as reported by
the displaced farmers and merchants.
While exploring the eastern
valleys, the delver and the elf uncover bizarre circumstances that
contradict their understanding of rational behavior. Each mysterious
revelation adds to an ever expanding puzzle. Goblins have infested the
cities and the farmlands, but not by force. With the consent of local
authorities, dark creatures inundate the eastern lands, taking
ownership of farms and claiming residence within human towns without
outward conflict or apparent treachery.
As humans and
goblins are forced to coexist throughout the region, order is enforced
by half-demons, but a tense apprehension grips the citizens of nearly
every village and city. Many decide to escape the valleys. Farmers
abandon
their fields and merchants leave their shops. The flow of refugees
grows, putting a greater strain on the western towns of Connel and
Burbon.
Ryson and Holli continue their search for answers only
to meet with opposition from local councils, town guards, and a
powerful regional steward. They struggle against goblins and
half-demons and even attempt to enlist the aid of dwarves from the
underground city of Sterling. Throughout their efforts, goblins
continue to pour into the valleys just as more humans abandon their
homes. A twisted plan of deceit gradually takes shape as Ryson and
Holli
follow a chain of bargains meant not only to remove all the people from
the valleys, but to destroy the entire human race.

Author's Note:
Chain of Bargains is
the fifth book in the Delver
Magic series. The first book of the series, Sanctum's
Breach,
is available for free here.
I would recommend reading the series in order. While
all the Delver Magic
Books
are complete novels with clear topics and no cliffhangers, the books
draw on common events
and characters throughout the series.
While
the first three Delver Magic Books are free, Chain of Bargains is the
second book of the series
that I'm going to sell through
third party retailers such as Barnes and Noble, the Apple iTunes Store,
Amazon, Google Play and Smashwords. The slight charge of $.99 should
continue to
give me an idea
regarding
the true popularity of the series.
I've
tried to make the sample chapters and the full ebook
of Chain of
Bargains
available in as many DRM free formats as possible. With
so many new devices and software applications used for reading eBooks,
it is very difficult to ensure that all the formats work as they
should. If you have any trouble with any of the files, please contact
me. I will do my best to fix the problem.
If you
do enjoy Delver Magic,
please let me know.
I appreciate hearing from those that take an interest in my work. Thank
you for your time. I know there are countless eBook offers out there. I
am grateful you have made the effort to review this site.
