The Houndsman

Flint Woodson, a veteran of the Iron Army's Building Division, dreams of a tranquil existence, a remote settlement, and a simple family life, far from the conflict plaguing his realm. However, his aspirations are shattered when a 'Life Quest' from the enigmatic Diskverse tasks him with an impossible mission: reawaken a forgotten fort, protect a vulnerable village, and safeguard a nascent Champion against the encroaching Wyld armies.

Flint is a pragmatic and resourceful 'Wyldblood' who initially believes he's not destined for greatness, preferring the tangible work of a builder. Despite his desire for a peaceful, ordinary life, his inherent loyalty and quiet determination drive him when faced with overwhelming responsibility.

Across this epic journey, readers witness Flint's transformation from a reluctant builder into a strategic leader, navigating a dark and brutal world where survival demands constant adaptation. His path is one of slow but powerful progression, marked by the meticulous construction of his fortress, the growth of his loyal pack, and the deep emotional bonds he forms amidst relentless conflict. The series explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring power of connection in the face of escalating, world-threatening dangers.
