Gavin was meant to be a miner in his hometown of Lynnwood. It was simple, honest work that his father had performed for years, and he was expected to follow in those footsteps. But when he crosses paths with a Contractor from Silverstone, he is compelled to stray from his family and become a hero.
In the world of Alamar, the cities are not always able to defend themselves. They issue contracts to slay dangerous goblins and fearsome dragons, offering gold to those willing to risk their lives to save the lands. Private companies employ brave heroes, who accept the contracts and protect innocent lives -- for a price.
The young Gavin pursues his dream of becoming a Silverstone Contractor, paving a way to fame, fortune, and glory. Along the way, he realizes not every hero is as virtuous as he once believed -- and every hero has a price.
The Silverstone Contractor is the first book of Justin Smart's "Companies of Alamar" series, following Gavin Lee as he becomes a Contractor for Silverstone, meeting friends and enemies as he strives to always do the right thing... no matter the cost.
