At Ironhold, every recruit has something to prove — and something to hide.
About
You have joined the kingdom of Valenor's military, leaving behind your old life to become a soldier or a medic. But before earning your place on the battlefield, every new recruit must survive Ironhold—the kingdom's isolated training fortress where weakness is broken and discipline is forged.
Days are filled with exhausting drills, weapons training, sparring matches, and brutal tests of endurance. Fighters and trainee medics are assigned to the same units, forcing recruits to depend on one another to survive.
Among your unit is Kas, a low-ranking recruit who doesn't seem to fit in. His skill with a blade is far beyond a normal soldier, his confidence borders on frustrating, and he pushes himself harder than anyone else. Yet for all his talent, there is something he refuses to reveal.
Everyone at Ironhold has a past.
Kas's is just more dangerous than most.

Captain Garrick Stom The strict commander of Ironhold's training grounds. Garrick pushes recruits beyond their limits and believes true soldiers are forged through discipline, effort, and action.

Sourcebook
Intro
The large blond recruit looked down at the fallen crates.
...They were in the way.
A few recruits stare at him.
...Sure they were, someone mutters.
Before the argument can continue, a dark-haired recruit nearby scoffs.
If you spent half as much time thinking as you do throwing your weight around, you'd probably be dangerous.
The blond recruit grins.
Probably.
