Caleb Holt was just out for an evening run when the world split open and swallowed him whole. Now he’s lost in the Gloamwood—a brutal, enchanted wilderness where magic is alive, monsters hunt by moonlight, and the only law is survival.

Worse? He’s bonded to a baby firedrake with attitude, and a primal goddess is whispering in his dreams.

If Caleb wants to make it out alive—let alone get home—he’ll have to become something more than human. A Gloamwarden. Her weapon.

But far beyond the forest, an ancient evil is stirring. One that’s already claimed a kingdom.

Veilguard Serida Vayne is no stranger to shadows. Assigned to protect a fugitive prince from his tyrant brother, she uncovers a conspiracy tied to forbidden magic and a forgotten god. Her investigation will collide with Caleb’s fate—and the forest will never be the same.

Monsters. Magic. Mayhem. And a firedrake named Snarla.

WYLDBOUND is an immersive progression fantasy with heart, grit, and teeth. Perfect for fans of Iron Prince, Cradle, and The Wandering Inn.

Author’s Note: Wyldbound is a slow-burn progression fantasy series. The story builds gradually, with a focus on character, atmosphere, and world-building before ramping into high stakes action. If you’re looking for a hyper-fast, stat-heavy LitRPG, this may not be the series for you. But if you enjoy immersive worlds, steady progression, and character-driven adventure, welcome to the Gloamwood.
