Expansion: An Isekai LitRPG - Paperback

by S. L. Winter (Author)

A Tamer has the power to control others.
The real challenge is choosing not to.

Markus Wolfe arrived in this brutal world with nothing. Now he has something worth protecting: a pack of intelligent beasts who trust him as family. But trust is fragile and when Lathani forms a Companion Bond with him without his conscious
consent, Markus is forced into a conflict where victory itself could destroy everything he has built.
Because the one who comes for him in fury is not a monster he could kill without guilt, but Lathani's mother. To fight back could shatter the bonds he values most; to hesitate risks her tearing everything apart before she ever hears the truth.
Every choice carries consequences.
Tensions rise in the samuran village Markus once infiltrated. A forest of carnivorous, intelligent trees spreads across the valley. And a mysterious quest hints that a far deeper threat may be growing beneath the chaos.
To protect those who depend on him, Markus must wield a force of nature without losing himself, learn to conquer those who see him as prey without becoming a tyrant, and uncover the truth behind the secret that threatens to tear
the valley apart.
Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. For a Tamer, this is not a philosophical statement, but his reality.
