Hunter. Healer. Savior. Sage. After a century of summonings and reincarnations, Taylor was more than ready to settle down and enjoy his renewed youth until he was summoned yet again. Dumped into a bronze-age world on a monarch's whim, he's made the best he could of the situation. He became a traveling priest, hunting monsters and healing the sick. It wasn't what he had planned, but it was a good life. But then the church tried to kill him and his followers. Now Taylor and his band of heretics are doing what outcasts and outlaws have always done: retreat to the most inhospitable wilderness they can find. The plan is to train and grow their numbers until they're strong enough to fight Enclave directly. It sounded simple enough when he started, but Taylor is beset by problems he can't wave away with magic. His strongest allies are scattered and powerless. Enclave is attempting to cut off his flow of recruits. The locals won't trust him. And there's a monster he needs to hunt, one that has killed every disciple sent against it.  Book 4 of The Tenobre Cycle. This volume stands very well on its own. There will be no harems. Seriously, don't even start with me. [ Royal Writathon October 2024 winner ]
