Gladesbale Grove

Gladesbale Grove Book 1

By Edwin M. Griffiths

A new low-stakes Cozy Fantasy Adventure filled with charm, wit, lovable characters, and magic.

From Project Manager to Forest Protector.


Being a cog in the machine of an uncaring corporation has dulled Shawn’s desire to see his dreams come true. He has accepted that he will never be a park ranger, fire watch, or anything fun.

Working his deskjob late one night, Shawn is visited by a strange woman… With wolf ears and samurai armor. She says his soul belongs to her, but the last time he checked, his company didn’t have a LARPing department. He watches the clock as the time of his prescribed death draws sooner. Turns out, she was right.

Shawn is thrust into a strange ritual with a bunch of weird forest creatures chanting, “Plant the seed,” until he finds himself in a fantasy world with druidic powers and a new name and body.

He is now the caretaker of a sapient tree and the druidic grove it encompasses. As if interacting with the local ‘mortals’ wasn’t hard enough, he’ll need to recruit help from intelligent forest creatures to make this work.

One Man. One Tree. Infinite Problems.

From the bestselling author of Newt and Demon comes this new low-stakes Cozy Fantasy LitRPG adventure oozing with wit, charm, and lovable characters.

What to expect:

– Druid MC who is not overpowered.

– Sapient tree that generates production buildings and grows with the MC.

– MC helps others fight, but does not engage in combat himself.

– Low-stakes and cozy, with LitRPG Elements.

– Lots of talking animals, healing nature, and helping people.

– Tea. Lots and lots of growing, brewing, and selling tea.

– A house made from a mushroom. (A really big mushroom).
