The Dungeoneers and the Treasure of Roan

Two thieves. One legendary treasure. Zero trust. Wincott is a washed-up burglar with a bad back, frozen toes, and a goblin kill count that's making his life very complicated. When he flees into the long-abandoned mountain city of Roan-just ahead of a bloodthirsty goblin horde-he finds himself knocked out cold by none other than his estranged son: Sish Torren, a fast-talking rogue with a short sword, shorter temper, and a talent for backstabbing... sometimes literally. Roan is rumored to house an ancient treasure. It's also filled with deadly traps, crumbling ruins, and the kind of secrets that swallow people whole. Wincott and Sish reluctantly join forces-not out of love, but because no one survives Roan solo for long. Especially not with mercenaries, monsters, and a certain vengeful former crew barreling toward them. The Dungeoneers and the Treasure of Roan is "Dungeons & Dysfunction" meets Ocean's Eleven-if everyone in the crew had unresolved trauma and zero impulse control. A darkly funny, fast-paced fantasy adventure full of sharp blades, sharper tongues, and just enough heart to keep you rooting for the worst people to do the right thing... eventually. Perfect for fans of Nicholas Eames, Joe Abercrombie, and heist stories with emotional baggage and bite.
