THE MYSTIC MUG
Monthly Slice of Life Stories
BY LUNA RYDER
BLURB
When real life feels a bit too crazy, you can always find comfort in the fantasy realm! I just shared the first of my monthly slice-of-life stories starring Durgan Stoutbarrel, dwarven tavern owner and everybody’s favorite guy. I hope you’ll enjoy learning more about his backstory and witnessing the meet cute with his half-giant husband Pat. I’ll write a new story about Durgan each month and deliver them exclusively to my newsletter subscribers.

And if you’re ready for more adventures, you can read WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEGENDS now and pre-order THAT’S THE WAY THE CASTLE CRUMBLES!
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEGENDS
Legends Book 1
BY LUNA RYDER
Blurb
Magic, mayhem, and a misfit crew… every legend has to start somewhere
Tilda Quickthatch gave up adventuring years ago and retired to small-town Briarhaven as the local tavern wench. But now the past she’s worked so hard to keep hidden has come calling for her.
Its messengers? A group of misfit teens who insist she train them to pick up her mantle… or else. But what starts as simple “roll” play soon turns deadly when their antics attract the attention of a fearsome necromancer who never gave up searching for Tilda. He swoops in with a sinister offer: exchange the powerful artifact she stole nearly a decade ago for her former partner’s life.
Now it seems this halfling rogue-turned-barkeep has no choice but to dust off her daggers, gather her pity of a party, and set out on her highest stake quest yet.
What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right?!
When Life Gives You Legends is a hilariously heart-pounding fantasy where being a hero means breaking a few stereotypes—and possibly a tavern chair or two. If you enjoy witty banter, magical mayhem, and rooting for the underdog, then you’ll love Luna Ryder’s outrageous adventure.
- WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEGENDS just went into KU!
THAT’S THE WAY THE CASTLE CRUMBLES
Legends Book 2
BY LUNA RYDER
Blurb
The gang is back and at the behest of the tanuki master thief, Finnian Sly. Their original rescue mission must wait as they first work on restoring something far more important–a certain someone’s injured pride.
Their new mission is clear: infiltrate Mystwood Keep, depose its regent, and try not to die in the process. Formerly retired halfling rogue Tilda Quickthatch is, unfortunately, quick to realize they’re all in way over their heads with this one.
Can she turn her ragtag group into real-life heroes?
Maybe. All it will take is:
✔️ Teaching would-be-wizard Rurik how to master a level-two cantrip.
✔️ Convincing centaur barbarian Tulip to fight even if she’s not the “main character.”
✔️ Ensuring that half-elf ranger Calina doesn’t defect to the other side.
✔️And never, ever letting her guard down around the masked bandit she once called “Pa.”
That’s the Way the Castle Crumbles picks up right where When Life Gives You Legends left off, delivering an edgy, edge-of-your seat fantasy adventure where the laughs come just as fast as the punches… Are you ready to roll for initiative?
