In a world ravaged by betrayal and war, Alex is thrust into a life he never asked for. Once a boy shaped by love and laughter, he is forged instead by grief, blood, and the relentless call of survival. When the storm of violence tears through his homeland, Alex must rise from the ashes of innocence and take up the mantle of a warrior.

Haunted by loss yet driven by a fire that refuses to die, he battles not only enemies on the field but the darker forces within himself. Alongside allies whose loyalty is tested, and enemies who mirror his own rage, Alex learns that true strength is not found in the swing of a blade but in the courage to endure the storm.

The Warrior is a raw, unflinching tale of grief and transformation — where every scar is a story, every battle a reckoning, and every victory paid for with pieces of the soul. It is a novel about the cost of survival, the weight of destiny, and the faint but unbreakable light of love that flickers even in the darkest nights.

A few days ago, word traveled through the kingdom that the enemy was marching to Greengrass, but little do they know, we will be ready for them as they wait outside our walls. As dawn approached, the sky was darkened, as it began to pour down on our armor, as we all stood in the tree line surrounding the kingdom. We watched as the enemy got into formation on our territory. There were many of them, we noticed, as the looming fear exhaled with each breath of moist, steamy air that fell from our mouths.
