Peasant life is difficult. Peasant life is constraining. Peasant life is boring. 

When the kingdom of Aurelia is thrust into the chaotic and devastating world of war an opportunity arises. An opportunity for one youth to break the routine of low-class life, but it comes with dangers. 

The path to purpose is lined with peril — death, capture, and injury surrounds every step. Perhaps it's worth risking it all to make a name known, though.

One life is left behind and one life is taken up to defend his home. Heroes are called on to save the kingdom, but when they don’t answer, one humble youth take up the call. 

“Humble Beginnings,” the first installment in the “A King’s Ranger” series, fulfills the grandeur and expanse of epic-fantasy without the magic or monsters. It attempts to match the world building of “Game of Thrones” and scale of “The Lord of the Rings,” while not straying from the constraints of the real world. Low fantasy meets epic fantasy as political intrigue, personal struggle, and an immersive world drive the story. A humble beginning marks the rise of a world that feels real… yet still lets you escape it.
