Ancient Tomes of Tolero — Kenneth Brown

Alpherge is a fledgling wizard with everything to prove and everything to lose. Tasked with recovering stolen tomes of ancient magic, he finds himself out of his depth against a seasoned mage who knows the Cave of the Whispering Winds better than anyone. The path to his target is riddled with peril—deadly traps, enchanted creatures, and secrets that could break even the most experienced adventurer. Alpherge must summon all his courage and cunning to survive, but his greatest challenge may be his own inexperience. As he descends deeper into the labyrinth, Alpherge learns that the stolen tomes hide more than mere spells—they hold a power that could reshape the realm. Facing a foe far beyond his skill, he must decide: can he outwit the mage, or will the secrets he uncovers spell his doom?
