Cutter looked over at Maeve and the others, all watching him. “No,” he said finally, “not finished, lad. It’s only just beginning.”
Now, dear reader, we have come to the end of A Warrior’s Burden. It is my sincere hope that you enjoyed your first foray into the Known Lands, but there is more to come, so keep an eye out for book two.
In the meantime, are you looking for something else to read? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.
Want another story of an anti-hero in a grimdark setting where a jaded sellsword is forced into a fight he doesn’t want between forces he doesn’t understand?
Click here to get started on the bestselling seven book series, The Seven Virtues.
Interested in a story where the gods choose their champions in a war with the darkness that will determine the fate of the world itself?
Click here to get started on The Nightfall Wars, a complete six book, epic fantasy series.
Or how about something a little lighter? Do you like laughs with your sword slinging and magical mayhem? All the world’s heroes are dead and so it is up to the antiheroes to save the day. An overweight swordsman, a mage who thinks magic is for sissies, an assassin who gets sick at the sight of the blood, and a man who can speak to animals…maybe.
The world needed heroes—it got them instead.

Note from the Author
And this, dear reader, brings us to the end of A Warrior’s Burden. I will not say it was an easy journey, but it is my sincere hope that you enjoyed it. And while this first part of our travels is finished, there is much more awaiting us, awaiting Cutter and Maeve, Chall and Priest and, of course, Matt.
The Fey stir restlessly in the alien darkness of the Black Wood, thirsting for revenge, and Prince Feledias will not so easily cast aside his own quest for blood. After all, a man might try to forget his past—much as Cutter did—but his past will never forget him. It follows him, like a shadow, trailing in his wake. And sometimes that past, that shadow, has teeth.
Yet while a man can never escape his past, the future lies in wait, a path not yet taken, and wherever it might lead, at least Cutter will have his friends with him. And maybe, just maybe, they will even be enough.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of those people—and there are many—without whom this book would have never been finished or, if it was, would have been far worse.
Thank you, first, to my wonderful wife, Andrea, who attends to the needs of this world so that I can traipse lackadaisically around in others that aren’t, strictly speaking, real. Thank you, also, to my friends and family, mostly for not murdering me when having to hear again and again of this plot point or that one. You all endured my droning with a good humor—and steady restraint—that was nothing short of inspiring.
I would also like to thank my beta readers who dedicated their time and energy to making this book far better than it might have been, accepting misspellings and story incongruities as the only payments for their efforts.
And lastly, thank you, dear reader. It is because of you and only you that these stories come to life, that I get to spend my time writing them in the first place. My sincere hope is that you have not found your time here, in the Known Lands, wasted.
And if you have enjoyed the journey thus far, then stick around, won’t you? Dark, bloody days lie ahead, it is true, but the fun?
Well, the fun is just beginning.
Jacob Peppers
