Rich Bruno, once a nineteen-year-old Miner, now has the opportunity to move from his poor Home City of Adlington to the wealthier Market City of Espington. He and a group of young Miners are transported via carriage to their new life. En route to Espington, the carriage is struck by a wood bomb. Several Miners are injured, a few are killed, and Bruno believes he sees a mysterious red-haired man that may or may not have been on the carriage to begin with. 
     Getting to Espington was not easy for Bruno.
     Starting a new life there will be even harder.

I hope you enjoy Book One of the Piner Trilogy.

The Ones Who Live in Espington

 The City once known as Adlington was overgrown with vines, bushes, and pinlings. The shacks, shoppes, and city hall were now cloaked in ivy and moss. Piners roamed through the green City, making the buildings-turned-treehouses their new homes. The Adlington Wall still stood tall though the border resembled more of a massive hedge than a concrete structure. The Piners outnumbered the Vikings exponentially now. Spotting a man in armor was like a needle in a haystack. Adlington was swallowed by the Piners and its name ceased to exist except in dark memories. 


 Espen Fontenot watched these past six months since the war a City he once called home devolved into part of the woods he once feared. Jfeem Fosq was the new name traveling amongst the Piners as they spoke it in their common tongue. It took Espen quite some time to translate; luckily, he had some help from Julie.
