Hunter
Raelyn led a simple life—wealth redistribution. As someone who grew up in the orphan workhouse, she knew money was always in short supply.
The extremely wealthy didn’t always need it.
While on a simple retrieval job for the woman she worked for, Raelyn finds unwelcome attention.
The type that could end her career. And life.
Joining the handsome man who tried to rob her, after she’d just robbed a nobleman, wasn’t on her list of life goals.
But the pouch she stole wasn’t what she’d been told, and the woman who hired her paid the ultimate price.
With death and mayhem falling around her, she had no choice but to grab her beloved horse, Moose, and join the would-be thief and his companions on a dangerous quest.
One that would mean the end of the world as she knows it if they fail.
And the quest isn’t playing fair.
Join the launch of a new adventure!

This was an exciting fantasy, featuring Raelyn, who is an orphan and a petty thief who robs a nobleman and ends up with a bag of deadly gems, which ends up landing her on a quest along with several men - most of them magic users. The quest is to stop the sea-witch, who wants to rule the land as well as the sea. Raelyn is half elf and has just come into her magic, but she begins learning pretty fast while on the quest. Her mentor/father figure assists with the quest when he can, which helps a lot since he’s a very strong mage. What ensues is an action-packed adventure through several kingdoms, meeting allies and adversaries along the way and working to complete parts of the quest as they go. They end up meeting another group that is on the same quest and join forces, making them much stronger and more effective. I really loved Raelyn, who is just 23, but a very valuable addition to the quest group. The rest of the characters are diverse and have various talents which add to the group as a whole. It seems that there will be more quests for the group in the future, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I Loved It
The characters, settings and plot were well crafted. I’m looking forward for more adventures with Raelynn and the rest of the Questers.
