Why we chose this: They called him Sven the Shatterfist, and now he is serving drinks and training rookies and trying to remember who he was before the war made him into a legend. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding warmth of a story about a warrior learning that the hardest battles are the ones you fight with memory and grief and the slow work of becoming someone worth knowing again. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Sven opens the Adventurer's Rest and begins the long road back to himself, and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like a tavern where old soldiers come to remember who they were before the fighting, and stay because of who they find.
