A Bear's Burden
A Bear's Burden is the story of unlikely heroes accidentally thrown into a world of elves, orcs, dwarves, pirates, and great beasts. In addition, themes of depression, anxiety, suicide, racism, slavery, murder, sacrifice, survival, loss, and even war are present throughout the story but are offset with religion, love, friendship, forgiveness, acceptance, and redemption. Hard times forge individuals into their true selves. Battles decide the fate of Redpass, Verdenia, and Goldlamp. Greed and animosity prey on the weakâ€"willed, while all the while, the world refuses to give up
