About this listen
With age comes wisdom. For a seasoned adventurer, it also comes with back pain.
Taking quests, exploring ruins, and camping under the stars. For Dobbin Thornhill, there’s no better life than that of an adventurer. Especially with a reputation like his.
For all he’s gained, the loss of a friend during a botched quest still weighs heavy on his heart. How fitting that his next job will take him into Hells’ Crag, a dragon-ruined city still haunted by spirits half a millennia after the attack.
His task? Acquiring the elusive dragonfire mushroom—a rare delicacy rumored to grant visions to those who consume it.
While grief has led Dobbin to a life of solo adventures, some jobs can’t be done alone. Joining forces goes against his every instinct, but in a land of shadows, a cast of unlikely companions could be exactly what he needs to see the light again.
If he can find the courage to let someone else in.
Welcome to the enchanting world of Tales of Aedrea, where small-scale stories, low-stakes adventure, and cozy fantasy come to life within an epic, high-fantasy realm.

Story
Pete is a simple man who enjoys a good drink amongst good friends. Not too much to ask, right? Now, he's trapped in a fantasy world far from home, stuck underground and inside the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair. The worst part? The swill that the dwarves are falling all over themselves to drink. It's flat, it's watery, and it has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. Can Pete save the dwarves from their own sour fate, or will he be forever doomed to plink his pickaxe away in hopes that he hits the motherlode?

Villains aren't born, they're made. Witt was an ordinary NPC - a non-player character in a video game. As a kobold skald, he sang songs to empower heroes before they entered the local dungeons. Every day was a fresh start. Every day Witt woke with no memory of his previous encounters with all those so-called heroes. And every day he forgot the countless beatings and deaths he took at the hands of the murder hobos he valiantly buffed. But when all of those memories suddenly come flooding back, he only wants one thing: Revenge.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question: How is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together, the pair delight in exploring Kers’ weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventures to plumb the lofty heights of his floors.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

After all, the whole of Harper Valley funded his education. Now, Wil's back in the family fold and working to fill the needs of his neighbors, who all seem to want a fast return on their investment. But whether it's mending fences, ridding a house of vermin, boosting crops, or finding lost children, Wil is ready.

What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her! If only things were so simple… It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint.

Pete is a simple man who enjoys a good drink amongst good friends. Not too much to ask, right? Now, he's trapped in a fantasy world far from home, stuck underground and inside the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair. The worst part? The swill that the dwarves are falling all over themselves to drink. It's flat, it's watery, and it has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. Can Pete save the dwarves from their own sour fate, or will he be forever doomed to plink his pickaxe away in hopes that he hits the motherlode?

When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

Sooo soooo good!
Yet another fantastic cosy fantasy set in the cursed cocktails universe! A bit more adventure in this one, but plenty of taverns, quests and tales of past adventures abound… Narrator hit this one out of the park as well.. I hope Rowland keeps writing books in this universe!

Fun, cozy fantasy with a bit of adventure
2nd in the series… I love that they bring you into a fantasy world with pieces that are easily recognizable. Additionally, the action has a PG level of violence and no blood and gore. Sex is behind closed doors and language is the “son of a banshee” variety. I look forward to the next!

Love this new world that has been created for us
Rowland’s LITRPG has been amazing. I’ve loved reading and listening to all of his works. This new world of characters and magic that he has created with this and cursed cocktails really does bring us into this cozy fantasy world. The writing is great. The narration is spot on. This is a must for all fans of fantasy. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

A Good follow up to the 1st book
This is a Good follow-up book to " Crused Cocktails" and I thoughly enjoyed it. I have to say I liked book q more in various ways I would be hard pressed to articulate. I like how the two books are separate stories, but interconnect at the Tavern 🍺. The Narrator once agadoes a Wounderful job with all the characters voices and the entire storyline.

a nice bite sized cozy fantasy
first I highly recommend reading/listening to cursed cocktails first. Eric Jason Martin does a great job narrating as always.
this book is a little more fast paced and features a bit more action but has several satisfying call backs to CC.
I devoured this story and looking forward to the next!
I also recommend this authors Sentenced to Troll

I loved this book and it was cozy enough for me...
I really couldn't comprehend how a second book in this universe would work because everything was wrapped up so nicely in the Cursed Cocktail, but of course this wasn't about that book at all, other than getting mention or two. This book is about Dobbin an adventurer who stopped by the pub just as it was getting it's legs. And Dobbin had stopped by to be fortified before he had'ta face down the rich noble for his next job. Which turned out to be that he would need to go to the Dragon blighted land and locate a particular mushroom. Why a mushroom find out read the book. And nobody, but nobody goes to the blighted land, or if they do they don't come back.
So go grab the book and see how that turned out!

Fun, heart-warming, good time
This was a delightful journey. It takes a while to get to the found family part, but it was a steady pace throughout the book. A fine journey made by Dobbin both physically and metaphorically. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy.
