Reaper's Dice

Reaper's Dice tells the tale of a wood elf named Arno. After losing his home over a thousand years ago, he's dedicated his life to bringing it back. But fulfilling his research takes resources and money he doesn't have. Bounty hunting is the solution.

When an eccentric undead crimelord offers them work, Arno and his goblin apprentice, Zaleria, are confronted by the most dangerous job of their career. Along the way they face treacherous enemies and make unlikely allies. The dynamic mission will take skill, strategy, and finesse if they have any chance of succeeding... or even surviving.

To have any hope of success, the pair must join forces with two daring bank robbers. And when the cards are dealt, they have no choice but to face the most powerful criminal empire in the south. The consequences of disrupting such a group leads the bounty hunters to cross paths with a dangerous psychopath who's megalomaniacal aspirations threaten to plunge the small country of Ceabrin into a deadly bloodbath.

Arno and Zaleria must contend with an unforgiving world where the only thing certain in life is the fate of death and the chaos of change. When chaos tears down the door, nothing can stop the reaper from entering. What would a man do when faced with cruel entropy? What can he do when the reaper comes to end the tale? When the chips are down and the die is cast, Arno will have to face the impossible choice that will shape the future of the elves for all of time.
