Jahrys Grent dreams of becoming a knight. But when glowing warriors descend from the mountains and ignite a massacre, he’s trapped outside the castle walls with the girl he loves—Princess Alana Poole. In a single night, he loses everything.

Three years later, the kingdom is a wasteland. The royal castle remains sealed. And outside the gates, Retrievers like Jahrys scavenge through deadly wreckage just to survive.

When a lost diary filled with secrets resurfaces, Jahrys uncovers the truth about the girl he lost and the king who betrayed them all. Driven by grief but guided by hope, he embarks on a dangerous journey into the castle to confront the man behind the gates. But his plans take on a deadly turn.

Now a fugitive with a strange power awakening in his palms, Jahrys must face a choice: Will he fight to save the kingdom that turned its back on him…or become the very force that brings it to its knees?

Perfect for fans of reluctant heroes, rebellious princesses, and epic fantasy with a dash of sci-fi tech, The Hoarding is the unputdownable first book in a bold new series of bravery, heartbreak, and haunting secrets.

If you love energy-weapons-that-feel-like-magic, animal companions, secret diaries, brutal battles, and buried prophecies, you’ll be swept away by Jahrys and Alana’s fight for survival in a kingdom on the edge of ruin.
