Welcome to Erde
A land separated into five distinct regions:
Kälteste - A region trapped in a permanent state of night and the farthest north on the continent. Said to be the home of barbarians who devour monsters as their only source of food.
Wälder - The far westernmost land on the continent. It is steeped in mystery as it is the home of all fae. They are not welcoming of outsiders and those who leave its borders are forever barred from returning.
Reichtum - The central region of the continent and the single most wealthy as well. With rich, fertile soils and rolling plains. This area wants for nothing.
Meere - Second wealthiest country and located on the far southern tip of Erde, they’re well known for having the busiest port. They also boast the largest population of merchants. They may not be as rich as Reichtum, but they certainly make up for it with their widespread influence.
Gebirge - A remote mountainous region in the east. Much of the land is undeveloped and the people uneducated. This land has natural alpines and is rich in iron ore and minerals.

Meet Elfriede…
Female Protagonist of the Ashborne Series and a huntress at heart. She grew up in a remote, nameless town in the eastern region of Gebirge. She’s made a living of hunting game, mining the iron ore that keeps her town running and chasing off the con artists that wish to steal her sister away.
It is after a personal tragedy that Elfriede leaves the only town she’s ever known with her younger sister in tow. As she’s settling into her new life, she’s approached by a man claiming that she’s the only one who can help him. Problem is, she simply doesn’t want to.
Meet Heiden…
The Deuteragonist of the Ashborne Series and a Barbarian from the far northern region of Kälteste. His homeland is often overrun by monstrous creatures called ghouls. It is his duty as the leader of this region to ensure that no harm comes to his people. However that proves to be far harder than it first appears. Especially when he requires a certain huntress’ aid.
It will take more than just a few sweet words to convince Elfriede to leave behind the only family she has left. For a woman who loves her sister dearly, Heiden knows that his request will be the hardest for her to fulfill.
