Disk of Dragons

Rev Caern dreams of being a mage, or a powerful lord, someone able to care for his family and friends, despite his life in the slums of Shendasan. But when a brutal army of goblen invades, things get tough, and even Rev's countless schemes and dreams aren't enough. Then the goblen start hunting Rev, thinking he knows where to find the eerie Disk of Dragons, an ancient magical artifact. Worse, the Disk starts contacting him in visions. Could his petty thefts have gotten him in real trouble this time? Rev has to flee his homeland, alongside his best friend, the orcen Dan Zee. Of course, cheerful Rev reassures Dan that things will improve. Rev becomes peacekeeper in a small town, a strange job for a former thief. But when a citizen is brutally murdered, Rev must find the killer, and he starts wondering about the dangers and mysteries of his new home. Rev fears the goblen are behind the violence, but the brilliant and beautiful mage Gabryal suspects Rev himself. This makes courting her complicated, but he's a guy who keeps on hoping. After all, she has no way to learn of his past. But to catch the killer and protect the town from the goblen, Rev must rally the townsfolk, find and master the Disk of Dragons... and admit his own darkest secret. Unfortunately, there's another thing he hasn't allowed for: the goblen do not act on their own. A terrible evil is on the rise.
