The Last Respite (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231018291)

Within the lands of the Hye people, there is a haunted wood known as the Crawling Forest. Few travelers dare to brave the darkness within unless they seek treasure and glory.

Just outside of this dangerous expanse, on an old worn-down road, lies the Last Respite; an inn that caters to the adventurers that come from afar to test themselves in the Crawling Forest. Run by a mysterious innkeeper that is rumored to be a powerful witch, the Last Respite is the final beacon of civilization for those who risk the dangers of the Crawling Forest.

When a magical accident sends Gunnar to the Hye lands, the young man quickly finds himself with nowhere to turn for help and no easy way to return home. His road leads him to the Last Respite, where he must carve out a new home for himself with the aid of Sangmi, the innkeeper. Despite the shadow of the haunted forest, this corner of the world may yet be the shelter these two drifting souls have sought.
