Battle Mage Farmer, Book 1: Domestication

Peace, quiet, and magical warfare. Join the start of this hit action-fantasy LitRPG series and explore a world whose secrets have been buried under decades of war.

Retired from a decade of brutal war, powerful mage John Sutton wants nothing more than a quiet pastoral life while he does his best to stem the steady increase of his Doom Points before they hit 100, signaling the start of the apocalypse.

He's been given a small farm on the outskirts of the empire as a thanks for his service, but no matter how far he travels, it's impossible to escape the war's devastating effects on the world.

Bandits, suspicious townsfolk, a mysterious pair of siblings, and a secret that lurks in the mountains all threaten John's peace.

The end is drawing closer, and if the world won't let him farm in peace, he'll just have to burn the threats away--one "Doom Point" at a time.

Farming has never been so dangerous...
