Preorder Bonus: Each individual physical preorder includes a matching paper bookmark

Step through the Guild doors with The Spirit Within, the first book in C.A. Smith’s Silvercrest Champions’ Guild series.

The Silvercrest Champions’ Guild was built on monster contracts, dangerous roads, old debts, and the kind of glory that rarely comes without blood on the floor.

When apprentice Rosalina “Rosie” Ilverem joins Champion Allen Dawning on what should have been another Guild contract, the job takes a terrifying turn. A mysterious affliction strikes Rosie, forcing both apprentice and Champion into a fight that reaches beyond blades, beasts, and the ordinary dangers of the road.

As the threat takes hold, survival becomes more than finishing the contract. It becomes a test of trust, endurance, and what remains when the thing hunting you may already be inside.

The Spirit Within begins a fantasy adventure series for readers who enjoy monster hunters, dangerous apprenticeships, old-world guilds, found-family bonds, and character-driven stakes beneath the steel.
