Protector of the Forest. Purveyor of Snacks Rud has the custodian thing mostly figured out. Gladesbale Grove is thriving. Not only is the tea excellent, but his best friend is a sapient tree. Of course, the system drops a giant tower of doom in his backyard to spice things up. A monster-spawning mega-structure would put the brakes on most people’s tea business. Rud sees a business opportunity. If every adventurer on the continent is about to descend on his forest to climb the tower, they’re going to need somewhere to stay. That means a welcome center, hot meals, baths, and maybe even a water park with three slides of varying speeds. Between the ruins buried under his grove, the tower looming over his garden, the labyrinth sprawling for miles, and the time-traveling goblin, Rud wonders if he’s less of a “guardian of the forest” and more “cat wrangler.” From the bestselling author of Newt and Demon comes Book 3 in this new low-stakes Cozy Fantasy LitRPG adventure oozing with wit, charm, and lovable characters.
