    About this ebook

    Can a hero ever stop trying to protect people?

    Garron has been retired for just over half a year. Since saving the kings life he was given honourable retirement from the city guard and enough money to live the rest of his life in peace.

    But Garron tasted glory, he is the hero of Glennon Pass, the slayer of a dragon. Since those achievements regular life just seems...boring.

    He sees danger everywhere, his mind is always working, the city is full of criminals. Can a retired fighter ever just fade away into a quiet life?
