The Novice by matharu Taran.
The story’s journey is through the road of Fletcher. Fletcher is an apprentice blacksmith to his kind-hearted father, well more accurately adopted father. Who took him in when he was found abandoned and almost frozen to death outside the front gates of Pelt, with not even a single item to hint his heritage, or with any item of clothing on him, it’s a miracle he didn’t freeze given pelt’s location high up in the mountains, located near the Elven front. Fletcher’s path finds him a demon and a fight with the one person’s son in pelt you don’t want to mess with. Now on the run, is there anywhere to hide? or more accurately is there anywhere that would actually accept taking a criminal in?
